Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions Paterson homeowners ask about Paterson Roofing Pros's roofing services.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Look for shingles that are curling, buckling, or losing granules. Check for dark spots or daylight in the attic. If water has seeped into the decking, you're past repair. A 20-year-old roof with widespread cracking is at end-of-life wear. We'll inspect and tell you the truth.
Can you fix a leak without replacing the whole roof?
Often, yes. If the leak is around a vent, chimney, or a small puncture, we can repair it with a self-adhered patch or replace a few shingles. But if the decking is rotting or the underlayment has failed, a patch won't hold. We'll show you what we find and let you decide.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs in Paterson take one to three days. A full tear-off, new underlayment, and shingle installation for a typical 2,000-square-foot home is a two-day job. Weather can push it, especially during nor'easter season. We'll give you a timeline before we start.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with a local lender to offer options that fit your budget. You can pay over time for a new roof, and many homeowners qualify for 12-month no-interest plans. Call us at 9737869795 and we'll walk you through the numbers.
What warranty do you provide?
Our workmanship is backed for 10 years, and the shingles carry the manufacturer's warranty, which runs 25 to 50 years depending on the product. We register your warranty for you and keep a copy on file. If anything fails, you call us first.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
We do. If a nor'easter or hailstorm damaged your roof, we'll meet your adjuster on site, document the damage, and make sure the claim covers what's needed. We don't inflate estimates, but we don't let the insurance company shortchange you either.
