Paterson is NJ's third-largest city — a Silk City of pre-1920 brick buildings downtown, dense multi-family neighborhoods through the 1st and 2nd wards, and surprisingly suburban-feeling sections through the Great Falls historic area and the 4th ward. We work the entire city, ZIP by ZIP.
Housing in Paterson
Wildly varied. Pre-WWI mill-worker housing near downtown, post-war single and two-family through Wrigley Park and Hillcrest, mid-century brick around Eastside, and a lot of 50s-70s additions and dormers built on top of older stock that need careful tie-in work today.
What we most commonly find on Paterson roofs
- Original slate roofs at end of life on pre-1920 builds
- Bad asbestos siding/roofing tie-ins on older homes
- Failed flat porch and addition roofs (common across the city)
- Tight building setbacks limiting access — we work around it
Why we work in Paterson
Four-mile drive. We've worked every corner of this city and we know the ZIP-specific quirks — Eastside is different from the 1st ward, Hillcrest is different from Riverside.
