Roofing and chimney work in Hasbrouck Heights
Hasbrouck Heights lives up to its name. The borough sits on high ground in southern Bergen County, with Teterboro Airport and the flat Meadowlands to the east and Route 17 running along its western side. Its residential streets are lined with single-family homes from the early and mid-twentieth century, many with steep shingle roofs, front porches and brick chimneys, and a main commercial street of shops and offices with flat roofs.
Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Hasbrouck Heights from our base in Cliffside Park, a short drive east. We handle asphalt shingle roof repair and replacement, flat roofs on commercial buildings and low-slope sections of homes, and full chimney service. Estimates are free.
Housing in Hasbrouck Heights
Hasbrouck Heights is mostly single-family homes, with a large share built between the 1910s and the 1950s: colonials, capes, bungalows and foursquare-style houses, many with front porches, plus some two-family homes and later split-levels and ranches. Commercial and mixed-use buildings with flat roofs line the main business street, and office and hotel buildings stand near Route 17.
Weather and exposure
The borough's elevation is its defining exposure. Wind crossing the open ground of the airport and the Meadowlands reaches the eastern edge of town with little to slow it, and storms out of the east and northeast hit those blocks first. Street trees on the older residential blocks drop leaves and limbs, and winter freeze-thaw works on porch roofs, chimneys and masonry steps.
