Roofing and chimney work in Little Ferry
Little Ferry is a small, low-lying borough on the Hackensack River at the edge of the Meadowlands, near Teterboro Airport and the Route 46 corridor. Much of the borough sits close to sea level, and parts of it flooded badly when Hurricane Sandy pushed the Hackensack River over its banks in 2012. Its building stock is a mix of modest single-family and two-family homes, garden apartments, and commercial and light industrial buildings with flat roofs.

Housing in Little Ferry
Little Ferry has mostly smaller homes: post-war capes, ranches and two-family houses on modest lots, with some older homes near the river. Garden apartment complexes with low-slope roofs are a significant part of the housing. Along Route 46 and toward the Meadowlands, commercial, warehouse and light industrial buildings with large flat roofs make up much of the non-residential land.
Weather and exposure
The borough is flat, open and low. Wind crosses the Meadowlands and the river with little to block it, and storms push wind-driven rain against walls and roof edges. Low elevation means high ground moisture, damp crawlspaces and basements, and a real flood risk in major storms. Humid conditions near the marshes are hard on wood fascia, soffits and masonry.
