Paterson's Victorian mansions and brick townhouses around the Great Falls and Hamilton Park have been through a century of nor'easters, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles. The dense two- and three-family blocks in Sandy Hill and Riverside, and the Cape Cods and Dutch Colonials up in Hillcrest, all share the same roof-killers: heavy snow, wind-lifted panels, and summer thunderstorms that find every failed fastener.
Homeowners in 07501 call us because we know this housing stock. We've replaced slate on Queen Anne roofs near the Paterson Museum, retrofitted standing seam over shingles on turn-of-the-century rowhouses, and re-fastened corrugated panels on mill-era garages. We're fully insured, and we give free estimates.
Metal Roofing in Paterson (07501)
Paterson sits on the rocky Piedmont below the Great Falls, and that terrain shapes every roofing job. The city's 1880s-1920s brick townhouses and Victorian mansions often have steep mansard or slate roofs with tight lot lines, so staging materials means careful planning and often a boom truck on a narrow street. In the dense blocks of Sandy Hill, Eastside, and Riverside, two- and three-family frame houses have low-pitched roofs where ice dams form fast at the eaves. Hillcrest and the Totowa section have 1920s-50s brick Capes and Dutch Colonials with dormers, and those dormer valleys are where we find the most leak calls after a storm. Out in Hawthorne, Fair Lawn, and Elmwood Park, the 1950s-70s ranches and split-levels often need a retrofit over existing shingles, and we check the layer count before we quote. The red maples and sycamores that line so many streets look great in July but drop limbs in winter, and those limbs puncture panels and tear flashing. We've worked on everything from corrugated panels on mill-era workshops to standing seam on newer colonials in Ridgewood and Franklin Lakes. Our team knows the difference between a repair that holds and one that comes back next spring.
We've been serving Paterson and the surrounding area long enough to know which neighborhoods need snow guards, which historic districts require design review, and which low-slope roofs need a different fastening pattern. When we inspect a roof, we look at the whole picture: drainage, flashing, and how the roof meets the wall.

How a Job Works in Paterson
Step 1: You call (973) 333-4969 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, usually within a few days. We'll walk the roof, check the attic if accessible, and look at flashing, fasteners, and drainage. You get a written scope and a clear price before any work starts.
Step 2: We pull the required permits and schedule the work. In Paterson's historic districts, that may mean design review for panel profile and color, so we build that into the timeline. On tight lots in Sandy Hill or Riverside, we plan material delivery and staging to keep the street clear. For a full replacement, we remove the old roof, inspect the deck, and install new underlayment and flashing. For a retrofit over shingles, we confirm the existing layers meet code before we start. We keep the job site organized and protect your landscaping.
Step 3: When the work is done, we clean up thoroughly, magnet-sweep for nails, and walk the roof with you. We explain what we did, show you the completed work, and leave you with care tips. We don't consider the job finished until you're satisfied.
Metal roofing in Paterson runs from about $5.50 per square foot for corrugated panels up to $20 per square foot for copper and specialty metal. Standing seam starts around $10 per square foot, metal shingle and stone-coated steel around $9, and a retrofit over shingles around $7. A basic repair or leak fix starts at $450, screw replacement and re-fastening at $750, and flashing or chimney work at $600. Snow guards start at $1,200, and gutters for metal roofs at $9 per linear foot. The final price depends on roof size, pitch, access, the condition of the deck, and how urgent the job is. We give free estimates and explain every line item. Call (973) 333-4969 to schedule yours.
