Clifton's brick Cape Cods and Dutch Colonials were built to last, but the shingle roofs on top of them were not. If you live off Main Avenue or near the Clifton Commons, you already know how nor'easters and ice dams can find every weak spot in an aging roof.
Homeowners in 07013 call Paterson Metal Roofing because we understand the tight lots, the mature trees, and the freeze-thaw cycles that punish roofs here. We are based just down the road in Paterson, so we know Clifton's housing stock firsthand, from the two-family homes near the Botany Village to the larger colonials up in Athenia.
Metal Roofing in Clifton (07013)
Clifton sits on the same rocky Piedmont as Paterson, with dense blocks of turn-of-the-century frame houses and brick Capes that were never designed for today's weather swings. Many of the roofs we see in 07013 have three layers of shingles, low pitches, and dormers that collect ice at the eaves. The tree canopy along Grove Street and the streets off Van Houten Avenue drops limbs and fills gutters, and the freeze-thaw cycle in late winter pushes water under flashing and around chimneys. We handle the tight access on narrow lots near the Clifton Public Library and coordinate with the Clifton Building Department on permits, which are required for full replacements and re-roofs. Historic districts and HOA design review can also affect panel profiles and colors, so we check those before ordering materials.
Our team has worked on everything from corrugated panels on mill-era garages to standing seam on newer colonials in the Hillcrest area. We know which fasteners hold up to nor'easter wind and how to detail a metal roof over existing shingles to meet code on layer limits. Whether you are near the Great Falls or over by the Clifton Commons, we bring the same approach: measure twice, flash it right, and stand behind the work.

How a Job Works in Clifton
Step 1: You call (973) 333-4969 or fill out our form, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We walk the roof, check the attic and flashing, and talk through your options, whether that is a metal roof over shingles, a full replacement, or a repair. You get a written estimate with line items, no pressure.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the Clifton permits and order materials. On tight lots near Main Avenue, we plan deliveries for early morning and use smaller trucks to avoid blocking driveways. If your home is in an HOA, we submit the paperwork and wait for approval before we start. The crew protects your landscaping, tears off or preps the existing roof, and installs the new metal system with ice and water shield at the eaves and proper ventilation.
Step 3: We clean up every day and do a magnet sweep for nails at the end. You get a final walkthrough, and we do not leave until you are satisfied with the flashing, the fasteners, and the cleanup. We leave your property clean.
Pricing in Clifton depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the number of layers to remove, access, and whether there is rot or flashing damage. For a typical Cape Cod or Dutch Colonial in 07013, metal roof over shingles starts around $7 per square foot, while a full replacement starts at $9 per square foot. Standing seam runs from $10 per square foot, and repairs like leak fixes start at $450. We give you a free estimate at (973) 333-4969 so you know the real number before we start.
