Roofing and chimney work in Ridgefield
Ridgefield sits on the western slope of the Palisades, where the ridge drops toward Overpeck Creek and the edge of the Hackensack Meadowlands. That descent gives the borough two characters. The upper, hillside streets are residential, with older single-family homes, two-family houses and newer multifamily buildings on modest lots. The lower, flatter land near the major highways carries warehouses, distribution buildings and commercial properties with large flat roofs.

We handle shingle and flat roofing on Ridgefield's homes and two-families, low-slope and flat roofing on its commercial and light-industrial buildings, and full chimney service on the older houses. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Ridgefield
Ridgefield's residential areas are a mix of older frame and brick single-family homes, two-family houses, and newer two-family and multifamily construction, generally on small lots along the slope of the ridge. Older homes typically have pitched asphalt shingle roofs and brick chimneys; many newer buildings have low-slope roofs. The lower parts of the borough near the highways and the Meadowlands include warehouse, industrial and retail buildings with flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
The hillside neighbourhoods face west and southwest over the Meadowlands, an open, flat expanse that lets wind build with little to slow it. Storm winds and driving rain hit west-facing slopes and walls hard. The low-lying industrial areas near the creek and marshland deal with high groundwater and humidity, and their large flat roofs collect water quickly in heavy summer storms.
