Roof Replacement for Frelinghuysen homes and buildings
Many of Frelinghuysen's newer homes were built in the 1970s through the 1990s and are now on aging roofs, often in shaded settings that shortened their life. Older village houses and farmhouses present a different job: steep slopes, board sheathing and old chimney and dormer details. In both cases, a replacement is a chance to correct ventilation and moisture problems, not just change the shingles.
Asset Roofing & Chimney specializes in shingle and flat roofing and replaces roofs throughout Frelinghuysen. We are licensed and insured, based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County, and we serve all of North New Jersey. We replace skylights and roof hatches as part of the job when needed, and estimates are free.
Frelinghuysen housing
Frelinghuysen's homes are a mix of nineteenth-century village houses and farmhouses, many with stone or brick chimneys, and late twentieth-century colonials, contemporaries and ranches on wooded or open lots of several acres. Asphalt shingle dominates, with metal on barns and some outbuildings. Wood stoves and fireplaces are common and see heavy use.
Weather & exposure
Woodlands and hedgerows surround many homes, bringing shade, damp roofs, moss and falling limbs, while farm fields leave other houses exposed to strong wind. Winters in this part of the county are cold with sustained snow and a long freeze-thaw season, and the valleys hold moisture and fog.
When replacement is the right call in Frelinghuysen
For Frelinghuysen homes we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with algae resistance, ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, valleys, walls and penetrations, metal drip edge and balanced ventilation. If a home has slate, cedar or metal, we can assess it and advise you; our specialty is shingle and flat roofing.
The free estimate includes measurements, an attic check and a look at trees overhanging the roof. On the job we protect landscaping, plan access on long driveways and finish with a full cleanup and magnetic nail sweep.
