Roofing and chimney work in Caldwell
Caldwell is a small, walkable borough in western Essex County, centered on a downtown stretch of Bloomfield Avenue lined with older brick and frame commercial buildings. It is home to Caldwell University and the Grover Cleveland Birthplace, a state historic site. Around the downtown, residential streets carry early 20th-century colonials, Victorians, foursquares and bungalows, with some post-war houses mixed in.

We repair and install shingle and flat roofing, handle chimney masonry, liners and flashing, and are licensed and insured. We are based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County, and estimates are free.
Housing in Caldwell
Caldwell's housing is older than that of most of its western Essex neighbors. Many homes date from the early 1900s through the 1930s: foursquares with hipped roofs, colonials, Victorians with porches and turrets, and bungalows with low, broad roofs and front dormers. Post-war capes and colonials fill in some streets. Downtown Bloomfield Avenue has two- and three-story commercial and mixed-use buildings with flat roofs and parapets, often with apartments above storefronts.
Weather and exposure
Caldwell sits on gently rolling ground west of the Second Watchung ridge, so it is less wind-exposed than the ridge towns, but nor'easters and summer storms still bring wind-driven rain and falling limbs. Mature street trees shade many roofs and fill gutters. Hipped and porch roofs collect leaves in their valleys, and shaded north slopes are prone to ice at the eaves in cold stretches.
