Roof Replacement in Paterson, NJ

Name: Paterson Roofing Pros
Telephone: 9737869795
Price range: $$

Roof replacement is the process of stripping off your old shingles, underlayment, and flashing, then installing a new roof system on your Paterson home. With Nor'easters bringing heavy rain and wind, plus snowy winters with freeze-thaw cycles, a worn roof can leak within a season. A full replacement stops that cycle and protects your house for 20-30 years.

Roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off. We strip the old shingles down to the deck, then inspect the wood for rot, decay, or sag. If a section is soft, we cut it out and nail in new plywood. Then we lay a self-adhered ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys, followed by synthetic underlayment over the whole deck. The new shingles go on in staggered courses, starting with a starter course at the drip edge, and every shingle is fastened with ring-shank nails. We finish with new flashing around chimneys, vents, and walls, and a ridge vent for airflow.

Material choice drives cost. Architectural asphalt shingles are the standard for Paterson's early 20th-century brick rowhomes and Victorian-era houses. They handle the hot humid summers and thunderstorm hail better than three-tab. If you want something tougher, metal roofing or synthetic slate lasts longer but costs more per square. The size of your roof, the pitch, and how many layers we're tearing off all move the number. We give you a line-item estimate before we start, so you know exactly what you're paying for.
