Roofing and chimney work in Totowa
Totowa is a borough wrapped on several sides by a bend of the Passaic River, between Paterson, Wayne, Little Falls and Woodland Park. It combines quiet residential streets with a substantial commercial and industrial base along Route 46, Route 80 and the major roads through town, so a large share of its roof area is flat. Laurel Grove Cemetery, one of the larger cemeteries in the region, also sits within the borough.
That mix of homes and commercial buildings means roofing in Totowa covers both pitched shingle roofs and large flat membrane roofs. Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Totowa from Cliffside Park in Bergen County. We repair and replace shingle and flat roofs, install skylights and roof hatches, and handle chimney work. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Totowa
Totowa's residential areas are mostly single-family: capes, ranches, split-levels and colonials from the postwar decades, with some older homes and two-families and newer townhomes. Commercial and industrial buildings along Route 46 and other main roads include warehouses, offices, showrooms and retail with large flat roofs, rooftop HVAC units and internal drains. Most older homes have brick chimneys.
Weather and exposure
Totowa's lower areas along the Passaic River have a documented flooding history, which affects basements and grounds more than roofs but makes drainage important. Large flat commercial roofs are exposed to ponding after heavy rain, summer heat that ages membranes and wind uplift at edges. Residential streets have mature trees, and nor'easters and freeze-thaw winters take their usual toll.
