Roofing and chimney work in River Vale
River Vale is a wooded residential township in the Pascack Valley, with the Lake Tappan reservoir along its eastern side. Before suburban development it was largely farmland, and today it is mostly single-family homes on larger lots than in the southern part of the county: colonials, split-levels, ranches and contemporary homes, many set among tall trees, along with golf course land and open space.

We repair and replace shingle roofs, address the tree and moisture problems that come with a wooded township near a reservoir, and provide full chimney service for the fireplaces and heating flues common in its homes. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in River Vale
River Vale's housing is predominantly single-family and largely built from the 1950s onward: split-levels, ranches, colonials and contemporaries, with larger custom homes and townhouse communities added in later decades. Lots tend to be larger and more wooded than in southern Bergen. Most homes have asphalt shingle roofs, many with skylights and multiple roof planes, and brick chimneys serving fireplaces and heating systems.
Weather and exposure
Tall trees close to houses mean heavy leaf and needle loads in gutters and valleys, branch damage in storms and shaded roofs that stay damp and grow moss and algae. Areas near the reservoir and brooks can be more humid. Winters here are typically a bit colder than near the Hudson, with more freeze-thaw cycles and ice-dam potential.
