Roofing and chimney work in Wayne
Wayne is one of the largest townships in Passaic County by area, and its housing reflects the postwar suburban boom: split-levels, ranches and colonials from the 1950s through the 1970s on generous, tree-lined lots. Lake communities such as Packanack Lake and Pines Lake add older cottages that have been expanded over time, and newer townhome developments round out the mix.
Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Wayne from our base in Cliffside Park. We repair and replace shingle roofs, work on the flat roofs found on commercial buildings along Route 23 and Route 46 and on some additions, install skylights and roof hatches, and handle chimney repair and masonry. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are always free.
Housing in Wayne
Wayne's housing is largely postwar suburban: split-levels, ranches, bi-levels and colonials from the 1950s through the 1970s, many with attached garages, large roof planes and brick fireplace chimneys. Around Packanack Lake and Pines Lake, former summer cottages have been winterized and enlarged, creating complex rooflines. Newer townhomes and condominiums, and commercial buildings along Route 23 and Route 46, add flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
Wayne is heavily wooded, so falling limbs, pine needles and leaf debris are a constant roof and gutter issue. Low-lying areas near the Pompton and Passaic Rivers have a long history of flooding, which affects basements and crawlspaces more than roofs but makes drainage planning important. Open lots and lakefront properties take more wind than sheltered streets during nor'easters.
