Roofing and chimney work in Wanaque
Wanaque is a borough in the Ramapo Mountain foothills that includes the Haskell section and borders the Wanaque Reservoir, one of the largest reservoirs in New Jersey. Interstate 287 runs through the borough, and the Wanaque River flows south toward Pompton Lakes. Homes are spread along the valley and up the wooded hillsides on both sides.
Wanaque's housing ranges from older homes in Haskell and the valley to postwar capes and ranches and newer townhome developments. Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Wanaque from Cliffside Park in 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 Wanaque
Wanaque has older early twentieth century homes in Haskell and along the valley roads, postwar capes, ranches and raised ranches on the hillside streets, and newer townhome and condominium developments with shared roofs and framed chimney chases. Some homes near the reservoir and lakes began as seasonal cottages. Small commercial buildings with flat roofs line the main roads.
Weather and exposure
Wanaque sits at the edge of the Highlands, with colder winters and more snow than the southern part of the county. Wooded hillsides mean shade, moss and falling limbs, and homes near the reservoir take wind across open water. The Wanaque River valley can be damp and foggy. Freeze-thaw cycles and nor'easters affect roofs and masonry every winter.
