Polar Contracting is your hometown general contractor in Clifton, NJ. Roofing, gutters, siding and chimney work for homeowners across all five Clifton ZIP codes — from Botany Village to Allwood and Montclair Heights.
Clifton is a city of more than 30 distinct neighborhoods spread across roughly 11 square miles, and every block tells a different story. We work daily on the pre-war two-families of Botany Village, the cape cods and split-levels of Athenia and Albion Place, the brick colonials of Allwood near Clifton Commons, and the larger single-families of Montclair Heights and Rosemawr. Whether your home backs up to Weasel Brook Park, sits on a busy stretch of Main Avenue, or hugs the Delawanna train station, our crews know the layout.
As a locally-owned general contractor based in nearby Clifton, we understand the roofing, gutter, siding and chimney challenges that Clifton homeowners face — from harsh North Jersey winters to summer storms rolling off Botany Village.
Why local experience matters for your Clifton, NJ home.
Carved out of Acquackanonk Township in 1917, Clifton grew up around textile mills, the Botany Worsted Mills complex, and the Route 3 / Route 21 industrial corridor. That history left behind dense, mixed-era housing — from 1920s frame two-families in Botany Village to 1950s ranches in Allwood — each with its own original roof and chimney quirks our team has seen hundreds of times.
Clifton's housing stock skews older than the New Jersey average, with a heavy share of homes built between 1925 and 1965. That means a lot of original brick chimneys with deteriorating crowns, asbestos-shingle siding due for vinyl or fiber-cement replacement, and 3-tab asphalt roofs that are well past their warranty. We specialize in upgrading these homes to modern architectural shingles, seamless aluminum gutters, and properly flashed chimneys without compromising their character.
Clifton sits in a wind-funnel between First and Second Watchung Mountains, which means nor'easters and summer thunderstorms hit hard. Ice damming is common in Allwood and Montclair Heights due to deep eaves and inconsistent attic insulation, and clogged gutters near tree-lined streets like Valley Road regularly cause fascia rot. We design every roofing and gutter job with North Jersey's freeze-thaw cycle in mind.

Yes. The Clifton Construction Code Enforcement office requires a building permit for full roof replacements and most structural repairs. We pull every permit on your behalf and schedule the inspection so you don't have to deal with it.
For a standard single-family home in Allwood, Athenia, or Botany Village, we usually complete tear-off, deck inspection, and new architectural shingle installation in 1–2 days, weather permitting. Larger homes near Montclair Heights or Rosemawr may take 2–3 days.
We install GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed architectural shingle systems — the same lines our suppliers stock for Passaic County. These come with manufacturer warranties up to 50 years and stand up well to North Jersey freeze-thaw cycles.
