Roofing and chimney work in Hillsdale
Hillsdale is a Pascack Valley borough built around a station on the Pascack Valley rail line, with Pascack Brook running through it and a small downtown near the tracks. Most of the borough grew in the post-war decades, so the typical house is a cape, ranch, split-level or colonial from the 1950s and 1960s, with some older homes closer to the center and newer houses on infill lots.

Housing in Hillsdale
Hillsdale is primarily single-family homes, with the largest share built in the 1950s and 1960s: capes, ranches, split-levels and colonials, many since expanded with dormers, second stories or additions. Older homes are found near the downtown, and small commercial buildings with flat roofs line the main roads near the station.
Weather and exposure
Mature trees shade many lots, dropping leaves into gutters and branches onto roofs in storms. Low-lying areas near Pascack Brook can see high water in heavy storms, and homes near the brook deal with damp ground and humid basements. The post-war housing has many low-pitch roof sections and long eaves, which are prone to ice dams in winter.
