Roofs and chimneys across Union County

Union County stretches from Elizabeth and the dense cities along the Arthur Kill to the hilltop homes of Summit and the Watchung foothills. Its roofs reflect that: flat membrane roofs on Elizabeth's two- and three-families and port-area warehouses, asphalt shingles on the post-war capes and splits of Union Township and Cranford, and steep slate or shingle roofs on the large older homes of Westfield and Summit.

Asset Roofing & Chimney provides roof repair, roof replacement and chimney repair throughout Union County for homes and commercial buildings. We are a licensed and insured shingle and flat roofing contractor based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County, serving North New Jersey, with chimney masonry, liners, caps, crowns and flashing as a core part of the business. Estimates are free.

The town pages below cover the Union County municipalities we have written specific guidance for. We serve every municipality in the county; if your town is not listed, call (201) 727-3113 and we will talk through your roof or chimney directly.

Roof replacement in progress: new plywood decking and synthetic underlayment being installed

Roofing in Union County

Union County's older towns, including Westfield, Summit, Cranford and parts of Elizabeth, have pre-war homes on their third or fourth roof, often with multiple layers over plank decking and flashing that has been caulked instead of replaced. The post-war townships, including Union, Clark and Kenilworth, have capes, ranches and splits with shallow sections, rear dormers and additions that leak at the junctions.

Flat roofing is a large part of the work in Union County. Elizabeth's multifamily buildings and port-area industrial roofs, the Route 22 commercial corridor through Union Township and the downtown blocks of Westfield, Cranford and Summit all depend on membrane roofs that fail at seams, drains, parapets and penetrations. We repair and replace both shingle and flat systems and detail the transitions where a building has both.

Chimney work in Union County

Westfield and Summit have tall multi-flue chimneys on large older homes with several fireplaces; Cranford, Union Township and Elizabeth have simpler stacks built for coal and oil furnaces. Nearly all now vent gas appliances through oversized clay flues, which causes condensation damage inside, while freeze-thaw cracks crowns and opens joints outside. Summit's hilltop exposure accelerates spalling on the weather face.

We inspect, repoint, rebuild, reline, cap, crown, flash, waterproof and clean chimneys across the county, including the shared stacks on Elizabeth's multifamily buildings and chimneys that pass through flat roofs. In Cranford's flood-prone sections, chimney bases that have been saturated deserve a check. Every inspection comes with photos and a written scope.

Local Conditions

What we see most often in Union County

Large older homes in Westfield and Summit

Steep, dormered roofs with slate on some houses and tall multi-flue chimneys serving several fireplaces. Leaks are mostly flashing and valley failures rather than shingle failures, and the chimneys need crowns, repointing and liners after a century of weather and fuel conversions.

Hilltop wind exposure in Summit

Summit's elevation brings stronger wind and wind-driven rain than the lowland towns to its east. Lifted shingles, torn ridge caps and spalled brick on windward chimney faces are more common there, and roofs need to be fastened and detailed for that exposure.

Rahway River flooding in Cranford

Low sections of Cranford along the Rahway River have a documented flooding history. Flooding affects basements more than roofs, but repeatedly saturated chimney bases can lose mortar at the foundation level and should be inspected along with the rest of the stack.

Dense flat-roofed housing in Elizabeth

Two- and three-families, rowhouses and apartment buildings with flat roofs fail at seams, drains, parapets and penetrations long before the membrane wears out. Wind off Newark Bay stresses edges and corners, and shared chimneys serve several units from one stack.

Route 22 and other commercial corridors

Retail, office and light industrial buildings in Union Township and along the county's highways have large flat roofs where ponding, drain failures, parapet flashing and rooftop equipment curbs cause most leaks. Routine inspection prevents most of the expensive ones.

Chimney Repointing

Mortar is designed to wear out before the brick does. Repointing renews the joints and keeps a sound chimney from becoming a rebuild.

Chimney Rebuilds

When the masonry is too far gone to repair, we take the chimney down to sound brick and build it back correctly, from the roofline up or from the ground.

FAQ

Union County questions

Do you serve all of Union County?

Yes. We serve every municipality in Union County, from Elizabeth, Linden and Rahway in the east to Summit, Berkeley Heights and New Providence in the west. The town pages on this site cover places we have written detailed guidance for; if yours is not listed, call (201) 727-3113 and we will discuss your project directly.

Do you work on slate roofs in Westfield and Summit?

We assess slate, replace or resecure individual slates where practical and repair the flashing and valleys that cause most slate leaks. Asset specializes in shingle and flat roofing, not slate installation. If a slate roof needs extensive work, we say so and explain the options, including a slate specialist or conversion.

Do you handle multifamily and industrial flat roofs in Elizabeth?

Yes. We repair and replace single-ply membrane and built-up roofs on two- and three-families, apartment buildings, commercial properties and warehouse and industrial buildings near the port. We coordinate access, tenant notice and scheduling with owners and property managers.

Can you help with an insurance claim after a storm?

Yes. We inspect and document storm damage with photos and a written assessment to support your claim. We do not make claim decisions, but good documentation helps the process. Photograph visible damage from the ground before anything is cleaned up, then call us.

Are estimates really free?

Yes. We inspect your roof or chimney, show you photos of what we find and give you a written scope and estimate at no charge, with no obligation. Our hours are Monday through Saturday, 9am to 8pm.
