Metal Roofing in Great Falls, Paterson: what actually fails

Near the Great Falls, metal on a building inside the district is a question for the Historic Preservation Commission first. On brick, the flashing where metal meets the wall is cut into the mortar, not sealed to the face.

The 19th-century mill district around the 77-foot falls of the Passaic River, listed on the National Register in 1970 and a National Historic Landmark from 1976, now the heart of the national historical park.

  • Historic district status, before anything else
  • Counter-flashing set into mortar joints
  • Parapet coping and the cant at its base
  • Low roofs behind brick walls

What Metal Roofing in Great Falls, Paterson costs

Brick and review set the price. Flashing cut into mortar takes longer than flashing on siding, and work inside the historic district goes past the Commission before a date can be set.

04Sequence

From first call to finished

The joint between flat and pitched roofs checked first, and a written quote before any work starts.

01

Call and say which roof

Tell us the address and what you are seeing: a stain, a drip, shingles in the yard, water standing on the back roof.

02

The joint first, then each roof

The tie-in between the flat and pitched roofs, then parapets and drains, then chimney, valleys and boots.

03

A written quote, roof by roof

The pitched roof on its own lines, the flat roof on its own, and the tie-in named between them, with permit status for your building.

04

The work, then the walkaround

Membrane turned up and fixed, shingles woven in over it, flashing cut into brick rather than caulked.

Note 01Do you repair metal roofs?

Yes. A loose panel, failed fastener seals or a leaking flashing at a chimney or wall is a repair, priced on its own.

Note 02Can a metal roof go on a historic house in Paterson?

Inside a designated district, ask the Historic Preservation Commission first. Eastside Park's guidelines encourage slate to stay slate and clay tile to stay clay tile.

Note 03What is the downside to a metal roof?

Cost up front: about $4 to $30 a square foot nationally against $1 to $4 for asphalt shingle. Snow also slides off metal all at once, and every valley, chimney and joint to a flat roof is custom flashing.
