Roofing and chimney work in Upper Saddle River
Upper Saddle River is a quiet, almost entirely residential borough at the northern edge of Bergen County, along the New York state line. Its homes are mostly large and detached, set on generous wooded lots, and most were built in the second half of the 20th century or later. That means big roof areas with hips, valleys, dormers and skylights, and chimneys that are as likely to be framed chases with metal flues as traditional brick.

If your home has cedar shake or another specialty roof, we can assess and advise honestly; our specialty is shingle and flat roofing. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Upper Saddle River
Upper Saddle River is predominantly single-family homes on large lots. Most of the housing was built from the post-war decades onward: center-hall and side-hall colonials, contemporaries, ranches and, more recently, large custom homes. Roofs are typically steep-slope asphalt shingle with complex footprints; some homes have cedar shake. There is very little commercial building stock in the borough.
Weather and exposure
The borough is heavily wooded, with the Saddle River running through it and houses set back among mature trees. That means leaf and needle debris on large roofs, shaded slopes that stay damp, and branch strikes during summer storms and wet-snow events. Its northern location and higher ground toward the state line make it a little colder in winter than the southern part of the county, which adds to freeze-thaw and ice-dam risk on long eaves.
