Roofing in Paterson, NJ
Paterson — known historically as the Silk City — is the seat of Passaic County and one of the oldest planned industrial cities in the United States. Its housing stock spans nearly two centuries, from the Italianate and Victorian rowhouses of the Eastside and Sandy Hill neighborhoods to mid-century single-family homes along the city's outer wards. That range is a big part of why we say no two Paterson roofs are alike.
What We See on Paterson Roofs
- Pre-1940 housing stock dominates the older wards — many original cedar shake or 3-tab asphalt roofs are now on their second or third re-cover
- Rowhouse and attached construction in the Eastside means flashing detail at party walls and parapets matters more than on detached homes
- Older masonry chimneys often need re-flashing or counterflashing during a re-roof
- Ice dam risk on north-facing slopes is real in Paterson winters — proper ice and water shield placement is non-negotiable
- Permits are pulled through the City of Paterson Department of Community Improvement
