Roofing in Wood-Ridge, NJ: Older Streets and Newer Blocks
A Rosie the Riveter statue stands in Wood-Ridge on the former Curtiss-Wright complex, where bomber engines were once built. The borough's 3,976 homes sit around it in two layers: 804 go back to 1939 or earlier, and 735 were built in the 2010s. Next step with a roof question: call (973) 791-8220 and ask what a first look would involve.

Over the border
Six borders and a shared line

Of the towns this phone line covers, Wallington is the one next door, with its own notes. Garfield's page and Passaic's page complete the list. A newer roof still has gutters, and gutter repair covers them.
