Roof Replacement for Washington Township homes and buildings
A great many Washington Township homes built from the 1960s through the 1990s are due for roof replacement, some for the second or third time. Their rooflines are generally simple, but they often carry two layers of shingles, minimal attic ventilation and flashing details that were never built properly. Replacement is the chance to fix all of that at once, and on hillside lots to build the roof for the wind it faces.
Asset Roofing & Chimney specializes in shingle and flat roofing and replaces roofs throughout Washington Township. 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.
Every project begins with a free estimate that covers the attic, decking, number of layers, ventilation and problem details such as split-level junctions and chimneys. You receive a clear written scope before work starts.
Washington Township housing
Most of Washington Township's homes were built from the 1960s onward: split-levels, ranches, bi-levels and colonials in subdivisions, with larger homes on wooded hillside lots. Older farmhouses and 1800s homes remain in the valley and in the old canal settlements. Asphalt shingle is the standard roof, masonry fireplaces are common on the 1960s and 1970s homes, and prefab fireplaces in framed chases appear in later construction.
Weather & exposure
The township spans valley floor and ridge slopes, so conditions change with elevation. Hillside homes take wind and hold snow longer, while valley homes sit in cold, damp air with frost and fog. Wooded lots on the slopes bring shade, debris and limbs from summer storms and winter ice, and sustained freeze-thaw affects roofs and masonry everywhere.
When replacement is the right call in Washington Township
For Washington Township homes we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with a high wind rating, ice-and-water membrane at eaves, valleys, sidewalls and chimneys, metal drip edge and balanced soffit and ridge ventilation. We rebuild chimney and sidewall flashing and replace skylights that are near the end of their life. If a home has slate, cedar or metal, we can assess it and advise you; shingle and flat roofing is our specialty.
During tear-off we protect landscaping and siding, replace damaged decking, keep the house watertight each day and finish with a full cleanup and magnetic sweep. On sloped lots we plan dumpster and delivery placement during the estimate.
