Metal Roofing in Hillcrest, Paterson: what actually fails

On Hillcrest's post-war singles and two-families, metal is a choice for an owner planning to stay, rated at 40 to 70 years against 15 to 30 for shingle. Where an addition was tied in later, that joint is rebuilt before any panel goes on.

A Second Ward neighborhood with a mix of upper- and middle-class homes, where post-war single-family houses and two-families sit among older ones.

  • The joint where an addition meets the original roof
  • Dormer cheeks and the flashing around them
  • Chimney step flashing where brick meets shingle
  • The fall on a later flat roof

What Metal Roofing in Hillcrest, Paterson costs

Joints set the price. Later additions and dormers mean junctions between old and new framing, and each is priced as its own detail rather than folded into a square rate.

Note 01How much does it cost to put a metal roof on a 2,000 sq ft house?

Nationally metal runs about $4 to $30 a square foot, but roof area, pitch and valleys decide it, not floor area. A two-story house with a flat rear section has less pitched roof than its floor area suggests.

Note 02Why don't more people use metal roofs?

Mostly the up-front price, and in a historic district, the rules. Metal makes most sense for an owner who plans to stay long enough to see the difference in years.

Note 03Can 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.
