Roofing and chimney work in Belleville
Belleville sits on the west bank of the Passaic River, with Newark to the south, Bloomfield to the west and Nutley to the north. It is one of the older settled places in the county, and its streets are packed with early and mid-20th-century two-family homes, capes and colonials, along with garden apartments, brick apartment buildings and the commercial blocks of Washington Avenue. Route 21 runs along the river edge past older commercial and light industrial buildings.

Housing in Belleville
Belleville is dominated by two-family houses, many of them stacked two-and-a-half-story frame buildings with a unit on each floor, mixed with capes, colonials and smaller single-family homes from roughly the 1900s through the 1950s. Garden apartment complexes and brick walk-ups add a large share of flat and low-slope roofs, and Washington Avenue and the Route 21 corridor carry commercial and light industrial buildings with flat roofs, parapets and rooftop equipment.
Weather and exposure
Most of Belleville is low and gently sloped toward the Passaic River, so it is sheltered from the ridge winds that hit the Watchung towns, but open river frontage lets nor'easters drive rain across the eastern side of town. Lots are narrow and roofs sit close together, so gutter overflow and ice from one house often affect the next. Freeze-thaw cycles work on the brick chimneys that serve nearly every older home.
