About Maywood and Its Roofing Needs
Maywood is a compact, family-oriented Bergen County borough where neighbors know each other and well-maintained homes on tidy lots create a welcoming residential atmosphere. Positioned between Hackensack and Paramus, Maywood combines small-town character with easy access to Bergen County's commercial centers along Route 17.
Roofing Expertise for Maywood Properties
Maywood's housing is predominantly modest single-family homes — Cape Cods, ranches, and colonials from the 1940s-1960s — on lots typically between 5,000 and 8,000 square feet. The close spacing between homes means roofing projects require careful staging and debris management to protect neighboring properties. Most Maywood homes have relatively straightforward roof geometries that allow for efficient, cost-effective replacement when the time comes.
Addressing Maywood's Specific Roofing Challenges
Maywood's compact lots mean gutters and downspouts must be properly sized and routed to prevent water from draining toward neighboring foundations. The borough's older homes often have original galvanized steel gutters that should be replaced with seamless aluminum during re-roofing. We also check attic ventilation in Maywood's Cape Cods, which are notorious for inadequate airflow that causes ice dams and premature shingle aging.
