Roofs and chimneys across Somerset County

Somerset County stretches from the wooded ridges of the Somerset Hills in the north to open former farmland in the south, and its roofs are as varied as its terrain. Bernardsville and the hill towns have large older estate homes with big masonry chimneys and heavy forest canopy. Bridgewater, Hillsborough and the townships around them were built out largely from the 1960s through the 2000s with colonials, split-levels and planned developments. Somerville, Bound Brook and Raritan are compact older boroughs with Victorian and early-1900s homes. Along Route 22, Route 202 and Route 206 there is a long run of commercial buildings with flat and low-slope roofs.

Asset Roofing & Chimney is based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County and serves all of North New Jersey, including every municipality in Somerset County. We handle roof repair, full roof replacement, flat roofing, skylights and roof hatches, and the complete range of chimney work: inspection, repair, liners, caps, crowns, flashing, repointing, rebuilds, waterproofing and cleaning. We are licensed and insured, estimates are free, and we work on residential and commercial properties.

Northern Somerset County is noticeably colder and snowier than the Hudson riverfront, with more freeze-thaw cycles on chimney crowns and mortar and more ice damming at the eaves. The open land in the center and south of the county exposes roofs to sustained wind, and summer thunderstorms and nor'easters bring heavy rain and wind-driven debris. The town pages below describe how those conditions play out in each community.

Roofing in Somerset County

Steep-slope asphalt shingle is the standard roof covering across Somerset County. The 1960s through 1990s colonials and split-levels in Bridgewater and the earlier Hillsborough neighborhoods are often on their second or third roof, and the question of repair versus full tear-off depends on what is under the current shingles. The 1990s and 2000s developments in Hillsborough and neighboring townships are now reaching the age where their original roofs need attention. Older homes in Somerville and the estate homes in Bernardsville may carry slate or cedar; we specialize in shingle and flat roofing and can assess those roofs and advise honestly on the right course.

Flat and low-slope roofing is a substantial part of our work in the county because of the commercial corridors along Route 22, Route 202 and Route 206, the downtown commercial blocks in Somerville, and the many residential additions, sunrooms and garages built with low-slope roofs. We repair and replace membrane roofs, correct ponding and drainage problems, and install or replace skylights and roof hatches on both residential and commercial buildings.

Chimney work in Somerset County

Chimneys in Somerset County follow the age of the housing. Homes from the 1960s through the 1990s typically have a brick chimney with a clay tile liner for the heating system and often a fireplace flue, and many later homes have a prefabricated metal fireplace enclosed in a sided chase with a sheet-metal chase cover. Rusted and ponding chase covers are one of the most common water-intrusion sources we find on these houses. Older homes in Somerville and the large estate homes of the Somerset Hills have substantial multi-flue brick or stone chimneys serving several fireplaces, with crowns and mortar that have weathered many decades.

The colder, snowier winters of northern Somerset County drive more freeze-thaw cycles than the river towns to the east, which accelerates crown cracking, open mortar joints and spalled brick. Wind across open land in Hillsborough and on the ridges of Bernardsville puts extra load on caps and tall stacks. Our chimney work in the county includes inspections, crown rebuilds, caps, flashing repair, repointing, partial and full rebuilds, stainless steel liners, waterproofing and cleaning.

Local Conditions

What we see most often in Somerset County

Freeze-thaw on crowns and mortar in the hills

Bernardsville and the northern townships sit higher and colder than the rest of the county. Repeated freezing and thawing cracks chimney crowns, opens mortar joints and spalls brick faces, and the damage compounds each winter until it is repaired.

Wind exposure across open land

Hillsborough and the central townships were farmland within living memory, and much of the housing sits on open, unsheltered ground. Sustained wind lifts shingles along ridges and rakes, displaces ridge caps and removes chimney caps after strong fronts.

Aging original roofs on 1980s to 2000s developments

Large residential developments built in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s are reaching the age where their original shingles are failing more or less together. Homeowners in those neighborhoods are now weighing repair against replacement.

Commercial flat-roof drainage on the highway corridors

Retail, office and warehouse buildings along Route 22, Route 202 and Route 206 depend on internal drains and scuppers. Blocked drains, saturated insulation and failed seams are the usual causes of leaks reported by property managers.

Rusted chase covers on prefabricated fireplaces

A large share of the homes built in the county since the 1970s have a factory-built fireplace in a sided chase. The original galvanized cover on top rusts through or ponds water, and the resulting leak shows up around the fireplace rather than on the roof.

Somerset County questions

Do you serve all of Somerset County?

Yes. Asset Roofing & Chimney serves every municipality in Somerset County, from Bernardsville and the Somerset Hills to Hillsborough, Montgomery and Franklin in the south. If your town does not yet have its own page on this site, that only means we have not written it up yet; we still come out.

You're based in Bergen County. Do you really come out to Somerset County?

Yes. Our shop is in Cliffside Park, but our service area is all of North New Jersey and Somerset County is a regular part of it. Estimates are free, so there is no charge for us to drive out, look at your roof or chimney and give you a written scope of work.

Can you help with an insurance claim after storm damage?

Yes. After wind, hail or a fallen tree we document the damage with photos and a written description of what we found, which you can submit with your claim. We do not negotiate with your insurer, but we make sure the condition of the roof or chimney is clearly recorded.

Can you assess a slate or cedar roof on an older Somerset County home?

Yes. We specialize in asphalt shingle and flat roofing, and we can assess a slate or cedar roof, handle the flashing, chimney and gutter work that causes many of the leaks on those roofs, and tell you plainly whether a slate or cedar specialist is the right choice for the roofing itself.
