Roofing and chimney work in Fairview
Fairview is a small, tightly built borough at the southern edge of Bergen County, bordering Cliffside Park to the east and North Bergen in Hudson County to the south. Its streets fall from the Palisades ridge down the western slope toward Ridgefield and the Meadowlands, and they are lined with two-family homes, attached and semi-attached houses, and small apartment buildings set close together. Bergen Boulevard and Anderson Avenue carry storefronts and mixed-use buildings with flat roofs.
Asset Roofing & Chimney is based in Cliffside Park, right next door, so Fairview is about as close as a job gets. The borough's roofs are mostly the same types we see at home: flat and low-slope roofs on two-family and multifamily buildings, pitched shingle roofs on single-family homes, and older brick chimneys that serve more than one household. Estimates are free.
Housing in Fairview
Fairview has a dense, mostly older housing stock. Two-family homes on narrow lots are the most common building type, many with flat or shallow-pitched roofs, mixed with attached and semi-attached houses, small walk-up apartment buildings and single-family homes with pitched shingle roofs. Commercial and mixed-use buildings line the main roads, and newer multifamily buildings have replaced some older houses in recent years.
Weather and exposure
Fairview's streets slope west off the Palisades, so homes near the top of the ridge get more wind and the lower blocks look out across the Meadowlands, where storms from the west and southwest have open ground to cross. Buildings are close together, so roofs often drain toward a neighbor or share a wall, and the many flat roofs collect water after heavy summer rain. Freeze-thaw is hard on the borough's old parapets and chimneys.
