Roofing and chimney work in Lopatcong
Lopatcong Township wraps around the north and east sides of Phillipsburg, rising from the edge of the river town onto the higher ground above the Delaware. Where Phillipsburg is old and dense, Lopatcong is largely the suburb that grew up beside it: subdivisions of single-family homes, townhouse and condominium communities, and commercial and light-industrial buildings along the Route 22 corridor and the roads leading out of town. Farmland and woods remain on the township's outer edges.
Asset Roofing & Chimney provides roof repair, roof replacement and chimney repair throughout Lopatcong. We are licensed and insured, based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County, and we serve all of North New Jersey. Our two specialties, shingle and flat roofing, match the township closely: shingle roofs on homes and townhouses, and flat roofs on the commercial and industrial buildings. We also provide full chimney service, and estimates are free.
Housing in Lopatcong
Most of Lopatcong's homes were built in the second half of the 20th century and after, with a large share of colonials, split-levels and ranches in subdivisions and attached townhouses in planned communities. Older farmhouses and early-1900s homes remain in scattered spots near Phillipsburg and along the rural roads. Asphalt shingle is the norm on residential roofs, prefab fireplaces in framed chases are common, and commercial buildings carry flat or low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
Much of Lopatcong sits on open, rolling ground above the Delaware valley, where subdivision homes with young or sparse trees take wind with little to slow it. Cold winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycling. Large flat commercial roofs collect snow and meltwater, and the river valley below sends fog and damp air up the slopes on cool mornings.
