Roofing and chimney work in Wood-Ridge
Wood-Ridge sits on the high ground its name describes, a residential ridge between the Passaic River valley to the west and the flat Meadowlands and Teterboro Airport to the east. Most of the borough is older single-family homes and two-families on modest lots, and in recent years former industrial land on its edge has been redeveloped with newer townhouses and apartments. The ridge-top position means some exposure to wind sweeping across the open lowlands below.
Asset Roofing & Chimney is based in Cliffside Park and serves Wood-Ridge with asphalt shingle and flat roofing for residential and commercial buildings and complete chimney service. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Wood-Ridge
Wood-Ridge's housing is mostly single-family homes from the 1920s through the post-war decades: capes, colonials, bungalows and some brick homes, along with two-family homes, on modest lots. Most have asphalt shingle roofs and brick chimneys; some two-families have low-slope roofs. Newer townhouse and apartment construction has been added on redeveloped industrial land, and small commercial buildings with flat roofs line the main roads.
Weather and exposure
Homes on the eastern side of the ridge look out over the flat, open Meadowlands, and wind crossing that open ground reaches roofs with little to slow it, particularly during nor'easters. The streets themselves are tree-lined, so leaf debris and branch strikes are part of the picture too. Freeze-thaw works on the many older brick chimneys.
