Roofing and chimney work in Saddle River
Saddle River is a low-density, heavily wooded borough in northern Bergen County, named for the river that runs through it. It is almost entirely residential, with large homes on large lots: a few older houses from the area's farming past, mid-century homes, and many substantial custom homes built in recent decades. Roofs here tend to be big and complex, and some are finished in slate, cedar or metal rather than asphalt shingle.
Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Saddle River from our base in Cliffside Park. Our specialty is asphalt shingle and flat roofing, which covers a large share of homes here, including the low-slope sections many large homes have over porches, connectors and additions. For slate, cedar and metal roofs, we can assess and advise. We also provide full chimney service. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Saddle River
Saddle River's housing is large single-family homes on wooded lots of an acre or more. The stock includes some older farmhouses and historic homes, mid-twentieth-century colonials and ranches, and many large custom homes from recent decades with complex rooflines, multiple chimneys, dormers and turrets. Roofing materials vary more than in most Bergen towns: architectural and designer asphalt shingles are common, and some homes have slate, cedar shake or standing-seam metal sections. Many large homes include flat or low-slope roof areas.
Weather and exposure
Dense woodland surrounds most homes, so branch damage, debris-filled valleys and shaded, damp roof slopes are routine. Northern Bergen winters bring more snow and freeze-thaw than the Hudson-side boroughs, and large roofs with many valleys and dormers are prone to ice damming. Low areas along the Saddle River can be damp.
