Passaic County covers a lot of ground, from the dense pre-war cities of Paterson, Passaic and Clifton in the south to the suburban townships and lake communities of Wayne, Little Falls and the highlands beyond. The roofing needs are just as varied: flat membrane roofs on two- and three-family houses and brick multifamily buildings, pitched shingle roofs on postwar split-levels and colonials, and commercial flat roofs along Route 3, Route 46 and Route 23.
Asset Roofing & Chimney is based in Cliffside Park in neighboring Bergen County and serves all of Passaic County. We specialize in flat and shingle roofing, install skylights and roof hatches, and handle chimney inspection, repair, relining, caps, crowns, flashing, repointing and rebuilds. We are licensed and insured, and every estimate is free.
Whether you own a single-family in Wayne, a three-family in Paterson or a storefront in Clifton, we will inspect the roof, explain what we find in plain terms and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
Roofing in Passaic County
In the southern cities of the county, flat and low-slope roofs dominate. Older built-up roofing is often buried under newer modified bitumen and coatings, and the common failures are at seams, parapet walls, scuppers and penetrations. We repair these with compatible materials and replace them with EPDM, modified bitumen or TPO membrane systems, improving drainage where possible.
In the suburban townships, pitched shingle roofs on homes from the 1920s through the 1970s are the norm. Tree debris, valleys, dormers and ice dams drive most repairs. For replacements we install architectural shingles over new underlayment and flashing with balanced ventilation. Permits are often required for full replacements; we can advise on what typically applies.
Chimney work in Passaic County
Passaic County's chimneys span more than a century of construction. Pre-war brick stacks in Paterson and Passaic were built for coal and now vent gas boilers or stand abandoned. Postwar fireplace chimneys in Wayne and Little Falls sit on exterior walls and take weather on three sides. Both types suffer cracked crowns, missing caps, receding mortar and failed flashing after decades of freeze-thaw winters.
We inspect, repoint, rebuild and reline chimneys, install caps and crowns, reflash chimneys at both shingle and membrane roofs, waterproof exposed masonry and clean flues. Where a chimney is no longer used, we can seal it or remove it below the roofline.
