Just minutes from our Garfield shop, Paterson is one of our highest-volume service areas. We've rebuilt chimneys and re-roofed historic homes throughout the city.
Paterson is one of New Jersey's oldest industrial cities and the housing reflects it. Much of the residential stock in Eastside, Hillcrest, South Paterson and Riverside dates to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries — dense frame and brick homes, a high proportion of two- and three-families, and roofs that have been maintained across many decades and many owners.
The practical consequence is that Paterson roofs carry history. It is normal to open one up and find plank decking, two or three shingle layers, and flashing details that were reworked at some point with materials that were never meant to be permanent. Knowing what is likely under there is most of what accurate estimating in Paterson consists of.
Terrain matters here too. Paterson's hills mean real variation in wind exposure and drainage between neighborhoods, and homes on the slopes deal with roof water differently than those on the flats. We look at where the water goes once it leaves your roof, not just at the roof itself — a surprising number of Paterson basement complaints start at a downspout.

Paterson's hilly streets create dramatic roof pitches — proper safety rigging and experienced crews are non-negotiable.
Standard on Paterson's pre-1940 housing. Gaps between planks are frequently too wide for reliable nailing, so re-decking gets measured and priced during the inspection rather than discovered later.
Most Paterson multi-families have a steep front and a low-slope rear or porch roof. Those are two different systems and pricing them as one is the most common estimating error we see in this city.
Paterson's older masonry stacks almost universally have crown cracking, which lets water into the stack and destroys it from the inside out. A rebuilt crown is inexpensive relative to a rebuild and it is the highest-value chimney repair here.
On sloped Paterson lots, water dumped at the base of the wall runs straight back toward the house. Extending discharge properly resolves a lot of what gets reported to us as basement leaks.
A Paterson tear-off and replacement needs a permit through the city's Division of Community Improvements on Market Street, and the roof gets inspected before the job is closed out. We file the application, post the permit on site and schedule the inspection ourselves, and it is included in the price rather than billed on top.

Yes for a full tear-off and replacement, and the city inspects the work before the permit is closed. We handle the filing and the inspection scheduling with the Paterson building office as part of the job, using our NJ HIC license 13VH04523600.
Paterson is about fifteen minutes from our Garfield shop, and we offer 24/7 emergency response for active leaks. For non-urgent inspections we can normally get out within the same week.
No, it is the norm for the work we do here. It does mean the inspection matters more — decking condition, layer count and chimney state all affect the real price, and we would rather establish those before quoting than after starting.
Regularly. Just make sure any estimate you compare accounts for both the pitched section and the low-slope rear separately, because those are different systems with different material costs.
Frequently because roof water is being discharged right at the foundation, which on Paterson's sloped lots runs straight back to the wall. Extending downspouts or adding a dry well is a far cheaper fix than waterproofing, and we check it as part of any inspection.
