Roofing and chimney work in Westwood
Westwood has one of the busiest small downtowns in the Pascack Valley, with a walkable business district near its train station and a mix of older commercial buildings, many with apartments or offices above the stores. Around the center are Victorians and early 20th century homes; farther out are pre-war and post-war colonials, capes and ranches. The Pascack Brook passes through the borough.
Asset Roofing & Chimney is based in Cliffside Park and serves Westwood with flat-roof repair and replacement on downtown and commercial buildings, asphalt shingle roofing on homes, and full chimney service. For older homes that retain slate, we can assess and advise honestly; our specialty is shingle and flat roofing. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Westwood
Westwood's downtown has older two- and three-story commercial and mixed-use buildings with flat roofs, parapets and storefront cornices. Around the center are Victorian and early 20th century homes, some with complex rooflines and a few with slate. The rest of the borough is mostly pre-war and post-war colonials, capes, ranches and split-levels, along with garden apartments and newer multifamily near downtown.
Weather and exposure
Westwood is inland and mostly flat to gently rolling. The Pascack Brook, which passes through the borough, can flood low-lying areas in heavy rain, keeping ground and basements damp nearby. Mature street trees drop debris onto roofs and into gutters. On the downtown buildings, flat roofs surrounded by parapets pond if drains clog, and freeze-thaw works on older brick parapets and chimneys.
