Roofing and chimney work in Hawthorne
Hawthorne is a borough on the east bank of the Passaic River, across from Paterson and bordering several Bergen County towns. It is a mostly residential community of single-family streets laid out in the first half of the twentieth century, with Goffle Brook Park running through the borough, a small downtown along Lafayette Avenue, and an older industrial strip near the river.
Hawthorne's roofs range from shingled capes and colonials to flat-roofed light industrial and commercial buildings. Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Hawthorne from our base in Cliffside Park, Bergen County. We repair and replace shingle and flat roofs, install skylights and roof hatches, and handle chimney inspection, repair, relining and rebuilds. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Hawthorne
Hawthorne is dominated by single-family homes from the 1920s through the 1960s: capes, colonials, bungalows and later ranches and split-levels on modest suburban lots, many with detached garages and brick chimneys. Some two-family homes and garden apartments are mixed in. Flat-roofed commercial buildings line the main shopping streets, and older industrial and warehouse buildings sit near the river.
Weather and exposure
Most of Hawthorne is gently rolling, with lower ground along the Passaic River and Goffle Brook. Mature street trees shade many blocks and fill gutters each fall. Nor'easters and summer thunderstorms bring wind-driven rain, and freeze-thaw winters work on shingles, flashing and the brick chimneys found on most older homes.
