Roofing and chimney work in West Milford
West Milford is by far the largest municipality in Passaic County by area, a Highlands township along the New York border that is mostly forest, mountains, reservoirs and protected watershed. Greenwood Lake straddles the state line at its northern end, Bearfort Mountain rises along its western side, and parts of Wawayanda State Park and large tracts of Newark's Pequannock watershed lie within the township.
Homes are scattered across that landscape: lake communities around Greenwood Lake, Upper Greenwood Lake, Pinecliff Lake and other smaller lakes, hillside neighborhoods and houses on wooded acreage. Asset Roofing & Chimney serves West Milford 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 West Milford
West Milford's housing is spread out and varied: many former summer lake cottages converted to year-round homes, often expanded with additions; postwar ranches, raised ranches and split-levels; and larger colonials and contemporaries on wooded lots from later decades. Wood stoves and fireplaces are common, along with oil and propane heat. Small commercial buildings with flat roofs line the main roads.
Weather and exposure
West Milford has some of the harshest roof conditions in northern New Jersey: higher elevations, heavier and longer-lasting snow cover, ice storms, cold temperatures and dense forest. Lakefront homes take wind across open water, and ridge-top homes are exposed to storms. Shade and moisture under the canopy encourage moss and keep roofs damp.
