Roofing and chimney work in Emerson
Emerson is a residential Pascack Valley borough with a commuter rail station on the Pascack Valley Line and a small downtown around it. Most of its housing went up in the post-war decades: raised ranches, split-levels, capes and colonials on suburban lots with mature trees, and part of the borough borders the Oradell Reservoir and its wooded watershed land.
Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Emerson from our base in Cliffside Park. We repair and replace asphalt shingle roofs, handle flat roofs on the borough's commercial buildings and residential additions, and provide full chimney service. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Emerson
Emerson is primarily single-family, with most homes built from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Split-levels and raised ranches are especially common, along with capes, ranches and colonials. Many of these homes have relatively low-pitched roofs, attached garages and a masonry chimney serving a fireplace and the heating system. The downtown and main roads have commercial buildings with flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
Emerson is inland, with mature trees over many roofs and wooded land around the reservoir. Leaves fill gutters and valleys each fall, limbs fall in storms, and shaded slopes stay damp. Homes near open water and wooded watershed land can see more wind and moisture. Winter freeze-thaw cycles work on chimney crowns and on the low-pitched roofs where snow lingers.
