Asset Roofing & Chimney is based in Cliffside Park, a short drive from Clifton via Route 46 or Route 3. We handle shingle and flat roofing, skylights and roof hatches, and chimney work for homeowners, landlords and small commercial property owners throughout the city. Every estimate is free, and we are licensed and insured.
Housing in Clifton
Clifton's residential blocks are dominated by 1920s to 1950s capes, colonials and two-family houses, many on narrow lots with detached garages and brick chimneys. Later ranches and split-levels appear in the hillier western sections. Flat and low-slope roofs are common on commercial buildings along Route 3, Route 46 and the main avenues, and on some multifamily properties.
Weather and exposure
Clifton rises from the Passaic River lowlands toward hilly sections in the west, so wind exposure varies block by block. Nor'easters and summer thunderstorms bring wind-driven rain, and freeze-thaw cycles work on aging shingles, flashing and masonry each winter. Mature street trees drop limbs and debris that clog gutters and hold moisture against roof edges.
