Roofing and chimney work in Clark
Clark is a compact suburban township in southern Union County, bordered by Westfield, Cranford, Rahway and Linden, with the Garden State Parkway running through it. The Robinson's Branch of the Rahway River and its reservoir cross the township, and most of the housing went up in the decades after World War II as farmland was developed into neighborhoods of ranches, capes and split-levels.
Asset Roofing & Chimney provides roof repair, roof replacement and chimney repair throughout Clark's 07066 ZIP code, for homes and for the commercial and office buildings along the township's main roads and near the Parkway. We specialize in shingle and flat roofing, offer full chimney service, and are licensed and insured. Estimates are free.
Housing in Clark
Clark's housing stock is dominated by post-war ranches, split-levels, capes and modest colonials built mostly in the 1950s and 1960s, many since expanded with second-story additions, rear extensions and dormers. Roofs are generally simple gables and hips with low to moderate pitches. Brick chimneys serving a furnace and fireplace are common. Shopping centers, office buildings and light commercial properties along the main roads and near the Parkway carry flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
Clark is low and gently rolling with moderate wind exposure and a mix of mature and younger street trees. Low-pitched ranch and split-level roofs hold snow and form ice dams at the eaves in cold stretches, and nor'easters push rain sideways into flashing. Areas near the reservoir and the river branch stay damper. Summer thunderstorms bring wind gusts that lift aged shingle tabs.
