Roof Repair for Riverdale homes and buildings
Riverdale's roof repairs fall into two quite different categories. On the older homes, repairs focus on aging shingles, chimney flashing and the small additions and porches that many of these houses have gained. On hillside lots, the uphill side of the roof often collects debris and runoff, and gutters on the downhill side may be high off the ground and hard to maintain.
On commercial and multifamily buildings, repairs are about membrane seams, drains, rooftop equipment curbs and the long eaves and valleys of townhouse buildings. Asset Roofing & Chimney repairs both steep-slope shingle and flat or low-slope membrane roofs, so one contractor can address the whole building.
Riverdale housing
Riverdale's older residential streets have early- and mid-20th-century houses: small capes, bungalows, ranches and two-story frame homes, some on hillside lots above the river. Newer townhouse and apartment construction has added multi-unit buildings with large shared roofs and prefabricated fireplaces. Near Route 23 and I-287, retail centers and commercial buildings have wide low-slope roofs.
Weather & exposure
Riverdale sits where the river valley meets the hills of the Highlands, so lots range from low and damp near the Pequannock River to sloped and wooded on the higher streets. The valley channels wind, and large open parking lots around the commercial buildings leave their roofs fully exposed. Winters bring snow and ice typical of northern Morris County.
Repair or replace? What we tell Riverdale homeowners
On older homes we repair the specific failure, whether that is flashing, a valley, a porch tie-in or a section of worn shingles, as long as the rest of the roof is sound. We will be clear if the roof as a whole is near the end of its life.
For commercial and multifamily roofs, we inspect drains, seams and equipment curbs on foot and provide a written report with photos for the owner, manager or association.
