Working in your own town comes with a different kind of accountability. Our neighbors see our trucks, and we see our work for years afterward. We handle flat and low-slope roofs on the borough's many multifamily buildings, asphalt shingle roofs on single and two-family homes, and the brick chimneys that almost every pre-war house here still has. Estimates are free, and travel time for a Cliffside Park call is about as short as it gets.
Housing in Cliffside Park
Cliffside Park is one of the most densely built boroughs in Bergen County. The typical house is a two-family from the 1920s to 1950s on a narrow lot, often with a flat or very low-slope roof, alongside brick and frame single-family homes with pitched roofs. Multi-story apartment buildings line the main avenues, and high-rise residential towers stand along the Palisades edge overlooking the Hudson.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits on top of the Palisades, and the cliff edge takes direct wind off the Hudson River. Wind-driven rain and gusts during nor'easters and summer thunderstorms lift shingle tabs, strain flat-roof seams and loosen chimney caps more than in sheltered inland towns. Narrow lots mean roofs drain toward neighbors or shared alleys, and winter freeze-thaw works hard on the many old brick chimneys and parapets.
