Chimney Repair for Washington Township chimneys
Washington Township has a wide variety of chimneys: large stone and brick chimneys on older farmhouses, brick and fieldstone fireplace chimneys on 1980s and 1990s homes, and prefabricated fireplaces on newer construction. Wood burning is common in rural homes, and many properties have wood stoves as well as fireplaces.
Asset Roofing & Chimney inspects, cleans, repairs, relines and rebuilds chimneys throughout the township, including crowns, repointing, caps, flashing and waterproofing. Older stone chimneys require mortar compatible with the original masonry.
Washington Township housing
Washington Township's housing ranges from 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses and stone houses in and around Long Valley, to 1970s through 1990s colonials and contemporaries on large lots in subdivisions on Schooley's Mountain and the surrounding hills. Barns, carriage houses and other outbuildings are common on older properties. Commercial buildings are limited to small shopping centers and village buildings.
Weather & exposure
Elevation varies from the valley floor to the top of Schooley's Mountain, and open farmland offers little wind protection. Winters are cold and snowy, with heavier snow on the higher ground. Homes on large wooded lots face falling limbs and heavy leaf loads, while those on open fields take the full force of wind.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Washington Township
An inspection from the roof and inside determines the scope. Typical work includes cleaning, a crown rebuild, repointing, a fastened cap and new flashing. For wood stoves, we check the liner carefully.
If a chimney is loose or leaning above the roofline, rebuilding that section is the durable fix. We match stone or brick as closely as possible.
