Roofing and chimney work in Alexandria
Alexandria Township is open farm country in western Hunterdon County, a rolling upland of fields, horse farms and woodlots between Frenchtown, Milford and the Pittstown area, and home to Sky Manor Airport. There is no downtown to speak of. Homes sit on large lots along country roads: old farmhouses with bank barns and outbuildings, and newer houses built on parcels split from farms from the 1970s onward, many with long driveways and nothing between the roof and the next storm but open pasture.
Asset Roofing & Chimney provides roof repair, roof replacement and chimney repair throughout Alexandria Township. We are licensed and insured, based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County, and we serve all of North New Jersey. We specialize in shingle and flat roofing and full chimney service, which on a rural property usually means a main house roof, a wood stove or fireplace chimney that works hard every winter, and sometimes an outbuilding roof as well. Estimates are free.
Housing in Alexandria
Alexandria's housing is rural and low-density: 1800s farmhouses with steep roofs and brick or stone chimneys, bank barns and sheds, and homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s on multi-acre lots, ranging from ranches and contemporaries to large colonials. Asphalt shingle covers most houses, while standing-seam and corrugated metal are common on barns and outbuildings. Most homes are heated with oil, propane or wood rather than natural gas.
Weather and exposure
The township sits on an open upland with long views and few windbreaks, so wind reaches homes from every direction and is strongest on hilltop lots and along field edges. Winters bring sustained snow cover and freeze-thaw cycling. Summer thunderstorms build over the open country with strong gusts and occasional hail, and hedgerows and isolated large trees near houses drop limbs in storms.
