Roofing and chimney work in Ringwood
Ringwood is a large, heavily forested borough in the Ramapo Mountains along the New York state line. Much of its land is parkland and watershed, including Ringwood State Park with Ringwood Manor and Skylands, the New Jersey State Botanical Garden, and parts of the Wanaque and Monksville reservoirs. The area's iron mining history goes back to colonial times.
Homes here are spread across wooded hillsides and around lake communities such as Cupsaw Lake, Erskine Lakes and Skyline Lakes, and Highlands winters are noticeably colder and snowier than in the southern part of the county. Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Ringwood from Cliffside Park in Bergen County. We repair and replace shingle and flat roofs, install skylights and roof hatches, and handle chimney work of all kinds. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Ringwood
Ringwood's housing is almost entirely single-family and spread out: former summer lake cottages converted to year-round homes, postwar ranches and raised ranches, split-levels, and larger contemporary and colonial homes on wooded acreage. Many homes have fireplaces or wood stoves alongside oil, propane or gas heat, and rooflines are often complex where cottages were expanded. Commercial roofs are limited to small retail and municipal buildings.
Weather and exposure
Ringwood is Highlands country: higher elevation, colder winters, heavier and longer-lasting snow cover, and ice storms that bring down limbs and power lines. Dense forest surrounds most homes, so shade, moss, falling branches and heavy leaf loads are constant. Lakefront homes take wind across open water, and ridge-top homes are exposed in storms.
