Roofing and chimney work in Denville
Denville is a township built around water. The Rockaway River runs through the center of town, and lake communities such as Indian Lake and Rainbow Lakes are ringed with houses that began as summer cottages and have been converted and expanded into year-round homes. Away from the lakes, much of the township was built out in the 1950s through the 1970s with capes, ranches, split-levels and colonials.
Asset Roofing & Chimney provides roof repair, roof replacement and chimney repair throughout Denville, including the lake sections where access, tree cover and older construction add complexity. We are based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County and serve all of North New Jersey. Estimates are free, and we are licensed and insured.
Housing in Denville
Denville has two distinct housing types. The lake communities hold older cottages, many from the early and mid-1900s, that have been enclosed, raised, expanded and reroofed over decades, often with mixed pitches and low-slope additions. The rest of the township is largely 1950s through 1970s single-family construction, along with a compact downtown of two-story commercial buildings with flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
The lakes and the river valley hold humidity and fog, and mature trees shade most lake lots heavily, so roofs stay wet longer and grow moss and algae readily. Winters are colder and snowier than the eastern part of the state. Low-lying areas along the Rockaway River are known for flooding, and summer thunderstorms and nor'easters bring heavy rain and wind-driven debris.
