How much does a roof replacement cost in Paterson?

Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Paterson run $12,000–$22,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home. Cost depends on pitch (steep = more labor), current layer count, and material grade. GAF Timberline HDZ in standard colors typically runs $14,000–$16,000 installed. We provide written estimates so you know the number before we start.

How much does a roof repair cost?

Minor repairs like fixing a few shingles or sealing a leak usually cost $300–$1,200. Larger repairs (replacing a section of decking or flashing) run $1,500–$4,000. We assess the damage first and give you a firm price before any work begins.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most full replacements in Paterson take 1–3 days for a standard-size home. Crew size, weather, and discovery of decking damage (common in homes 20+ years old) can extend that. We tell you upfront if decking work is likely based on the age and condition of your current roof.

Do I need a permit for roof work in NJ?

Most NJ cities require a building permit for full replacements (tear-off and new install). Repairs under a certain threshold often don't. We handle the permit process — we pull it, schedule the inspection, and pass it before we close the job.

Is Paterson Roofing Pros licensed and insured?

Yes, we are fully licensed (NJ HIC #13VH06412300) and insured with $2M general liability and workers' comp. We've been serving Paterson since 2008, and every job is backed by our 20-year workmanship warranty.

What types of shingles do you use?

We install Malarkey, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas. Asphalt shingles are the most common for homes, but we also work with metal roofing. We'll help you choose based on your budget, home style, and durability needs.

Do you handle storm damage and insurance claims?

Yes, we specialize in storm damage repairs and help you navigate insurance claims from start to finish. We inspect your roof, document the damage, and work with your adjuster to ensure you get covered for the repairs you need.

How long does a roof last?

Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20–30 years depending on material quality and maintenance. Metal roofs can last 40–70 years. We install premium materials and offer a 20-year workmanship warranty on replacements.

What areas do you service?

We serve Paterson and all of Passaic County, including Clifton, Wayne, Haledon, Prospect Park, and Hawthorne. We know the local building codes and weather patterns, so we can recommend the best materials for your home.

Do you offer free roof inspections?

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation roof inspections with same-day reports. We'll check for damage, wear, and potential issues. If repairs are needed, we'll explain what we found and give you a clear estimate.

What is your warranty on roof replacements?

We offer a 20-year workmanship warranty on all full replacements. Manufacturer warranties vary by shingle brand but typically range from 25–50 years. We stand behind our work and will address any issues covered under the warranty.

Can you help with emergency roof repairs?

Yes, we offer emergency service for urgent issues like active leaks or storm damage. Call us at (973) 786-9795 for immediate assistance. We'll get a crew out to tarp or repair your roof to prevent further damage.
