Belleville is a dense, historic Essex County township of about 38,000 along the Passaic River, bordering Newark and Nutley. The housing skews old and tightly packed — pre-war two- and three-families, frame and brick, with lots of flat and low-slope porch roofs mixed in.
Housing in Belleville
Older, dense, and varied: pre-war multi-family near the river and downtown, post-war single-family on the higher streets, and a high proportion of flat or low-slope roof sections. Unlined brick chimneys and original flashing are common on the older stock.
What we most commonly find on Belleville roofs
- Flat and low-slope porch roofs at end of life
- Older multi-family roofs with deferred maintenance
- Chimney and parapet flashing failures on attached homes
- Tight access for dumpster placement on dense blocks
Why we work in Belleville
