Roofing and chimney work in Washington Township
Washington Township in the Pascack Valley is a classic post-war Bergen County suburb. Most of its homes were built in a relatively short span in the 1950s and 1960s, which gives the township a consistent housing stock of split-levels, ranches, bi-levels and colonials on suburban lots, with very little commercial development. Houses built in the same era tend to reach the same maintenance milestones at around the same time, and that is visible on the roofs here.
Asset Roofing & Chimney is based in Cliffside Park and serves Washington Township with asphalt shingle roof repair and replacement, low-slope roofing on porches and additions, and full chimney service. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Washington Township
Washington Township is predominantly single-family homes built in the post-war decades, especially the 1950s and 1960s: split-levels, bi-levels, ranches and colonials, many since expanded with additions and second-story work. Roofs are mostly asphalt shingle, with some low-slope sections over additions, porches and attached garages. Commercial building stock is limited.
Weather and exposure
The township is inland and moderately wooded, with trees that have grown large since the subdivisions were built. Leaf debris, shaded slopes and branch strikes are the main exposure. Most roofs are moderate in pitch, and low-slope sections on additions drain slowly. Winter freeze-thaw affects chimneys and gutters, and ice dams form on poorly ventilated roofs.
