Roofing and chimney work in Ridgefield Park
Ridgefield Park is a village set between the Hackensack River to the west and Overpeck Creek to the east, with the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 46 passing through it. Its residential core is a walkable grid of older homes: frame single-family and two-family houses from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, many with porches, steep gables and brick chimneys. Main Street and the surrounding blocks have storefronts and mixed-use buildings with flat roofs, and there are office and commercial buildings near the highways.
From our Cliffside Park office, Ridgefield Park is a short drive. We repair and replace shingle roofs on the village's older homes, handle flat roofs on its two-families, storefronts and commercial buildings, and provide full chimney service. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Ridgefield Park
Ridgefield Park's housing is older and fairly dense. Much of it predates 1960: Victorian-era and early-twentieth-century frame houses, foursquares, colonials and two-family homes on narrow lots, many with porches and steep, multi-gabled roofs. Brick chimneys are typical. Main Street has older commercial and mixed-use buildings, and office and commercial buildings stand near the Turnpike and Route 46.
Weather and exposure
With rivers on two sides, parts of the village are low-lying and exposed to flooding and high groundwater, which keeps basements damp and chimney bases wet. Mature street trees drop leaves into gutters and valleys. Older roofs on steep gables and porches carry multiple valleys and wall junctions, and the many pre-war brick chimneys take freeze-thaw wear every winter.
