Roofing and chimney work in Englewood Cliffs
Englewood Cliffs runs along the top of the Palisades north of Fort Lee, with the cliff face and the Palisades Interstate Park on its eastern edge and Route 9W and Sylvan Avenue carrying traffic through the middle. It is a borough of two halves: quiet residential streets of single-family homes, many of them large, and a corridor of corporate office buildings with broad flat roofs. Both sit on the same exposed ridge above the Hudson.
Asset Roofing & Chimney is based a few miles south in Cliffside Park, on the same ridge, so the wind, rain and freeze-thaw that Englewood Cliffs roofs deal with are the conditions we plan every job around. We handle asphalt shingle and flat roofing for homes and commercial buildings, plus the full range of chimney work, and every estimate is free.
Housing in Englewood Cliffs
Englewood Cliffs is mostly single-family housing on larger lots than the dense boroughs to the south. Much of it was built after World War II: ranches, split-levels and colonials, many of which have since been expanded or replaced with large custom homes that have complex, steep rooflines. Along Sylvan Avenue and Route 9W, low- and mid-rise office buildings with large flat roofs make up the commercial side of the borough.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits on the Palisades ridge, and homes closest to the cliff take direct wind off the Hudson. Nor'easters drive rain against east-facing walls and slopes, and the wooded cliff edge and parkland drop leaves and branches onto nearby roofs. Large, complex roofs on newer homes have long valleys and many wall intersections, and winter freeze-thaw works on exposed chimneys and masonry.
