Roofing and chimney work in Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury is a small borough on the Musconetcong River at the northwestern edge of Hunterdon County, across the river from Warren County and just off Interstate 78. It is a compact 19th-century village rather than a suburb: older frame houses set close together on modest lots along a few streets, a handful of commercial and civic buildings, and the river running along the edge of town. Surrounded otherwise by Bethlehem Township, it is one of the smaller municipalities in the county.
Asset Roofing & Chimney provides roof repair, roof replacement and chimney repair in Bloomsbury. 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 in a borough of older village houses mostly means steep roofs, porch roofs and aging brick chimneys. Estimates are free.
Housing in Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury's homes are mostly older village houses, many dating to the 1800s and early 1900s, with steep gable roofs, front porches, rear additions and brick chimneys, mixed with some mid-century and later homes. Lots are small and houses sit close to one another and to the street. Asphalt shingle is the common roof, and the few commercial buildings include low-slope sections.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits low in the Musconetcong valley, where river moisture, fog and morning dew keep roofs and masonry damp, and mature trees along the river and streets shade many houses. Winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycling, with ice building at eaves and in old gutters. Low-lying ground near the river has a history of flooding in heavy storms, though roofs themselves face mainly rain, wind and snow.
