Roofing and chimney work in Rutherford
Rutherford is a well-established borough in southern Bergen County, between the Passaic River and the Meadowlands. It is known for its older housing: large Victorian, Queen Anne and colonial revival homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s on tree-lined streets, alongside later colonials, capes and two-family homes. Park Avenue, the main street, has older commercial and mixed-use buildings with flat roofs, and the borough is home to a campus of Felician University.
Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Rutherford from our base in Cliffside Park. We repair and replace shingle roofs, handle flat roofs on two-families and Park Avenue buildings, and provide full chimney service on the borough's many older masonry chimneys. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Rutherford
Rutherford has a large stock of older homes. Many date from the late 1800s through the 1930s: Victorians, Queen Annes, colonial revivals, foursquares and Tudors with steep roofs, turrets, dormers, porches and multiple chimneys. Later neighbourhoods have colonials, capes and two-family homes. Garden apartments and mixed-use buildings with flat roofs are found near Park Avenue and the main roads.
Weather and exposure
The eastern side of the borough faces the open Meadowlands, where wind travels across flat marshland. Mature street trees are everywhere, dropping leaves and limbs. The older homes' complex rooflines collect debris and concentrate water at valleys and walls, and their tall masonry chimneys take full exposure to wind and freeze-thaw.
