What's Included in Every Job
Full-Spectrum Roof Replacement — Every Layer, Every Detail
When you book a roof replacement with us, you're not just getting new shingles. We strip, inspect, and rebuild from the deck up using the same methods we've trusted since 2008 across Paterson, Clifton, and Wayne.
- Complete tear-off of existing roofing (shingles, underlayment, flashing) — we haul away every scrap
- Full deck inspection and rot repair — we catch and fix soft spots before they become leaks
- Synthetic felt underlayment (GAF Deck-Armor or CertainTeed DiamondDeck) — superior tear strength vs. old #15 felt
- Ice & water shield in valleys, eaves, and around all penetrations — meets NJ code for Passaic County
- New drip edge, step flashing, and pipe boots — galvanized steel, not cheap plastic
- Architectural shingles from Malarkey, GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning — factory-certified install, not off-the-truck
- Ridge vent or off-ridge vent system — balanced intake/exhaust for attic temps
- 20-year workmanship warranty on labor — backed by our NJ HIC #13VH06412300 license
- Free same-day inspection report with photos — we show you what we found, not just what we fixed
- Storm damage claim assistance — we walk insurance adjusters through the scope so you don't fight alone
Our Process
How We Replace Your Roof
From the first call to the final sweep, we follow a clear, proven workflow. No surprises, no shortcuts — just a roof that's built to last.
- Free Roof Inspection & Estimate – We climb up, inspect every shingle, flashing, and vent. You get a same-day report with photos and a firm, written quote. No hidden fees.
- Material Selection & Scheduling – Choose from Malarkey, GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning. We order everything upfront, schedule your tear-off within 48 hours, and notify you of the start date.
- Tear-Off & Deck Prep – Our crew strips the old roof down to the deck. We replace any rotted plywood (no upcharges for unexpected rot — we quote it after inspection). Ice and water shield goes on valleys and eaves.
- Installation & Flashing – New underlayment, starter strips, shingles, ridge vents, and pipe boots. We flash chimneys and skylights with metal — no caulk-only joints. All work meets or exceeds manufacturer specs.
- Final Walk-Through & Cleanup – Mike Paterson inspects every nail line and seam. We magnet-sweep the property, haul away debris, and walk the job with you. You get our 20-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties on materials.
- Post-Install Support – We follow up at 30 days and after the first heavy rain. Need a gutter adjustment or a loose downspout? We come back free of charge within the first year.

Quick Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement
We know replacing a roof is a big decision. Here are the answers Paterson homeowners ask us most — straight talk, no fluff.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Paterson?
Cost varies by roof size, pitch, and materials. For a typical 2,000 sq. ft. home in Paterson, you're looking at $7,000–$15,000 for asphalt shingles. We give free, same-day estimates after a no-obligation inspection. Call us at (973) 786-9795 for a quote.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements take 1–3 days, depending on weather and roof complexity. We work efficiently to minimize disruption — and we always tarp up at night if needed.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes — we're storm damage specialists. We help you file the claim, work with your adjuster, and make sure you get fair coverage for a full replacement. We've done this for hundreds of homeowners in Passaic County.
What roofing brands do you install?
We're factory-certified for Malarkey, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas. We'll recommend the best match for your home and budget.
