Metal Roofing in Paterson, NJ: what actually fails

Metal runs about $4 to $30 a square foot nationally, against $1 to $4 for asphalt shingle. On a Paterson house with a flat rear section, metal goes on the pitched roof and the joint where it meets the membrane is detailed as its own item.

Passaic County's Silk City: 159,732 people at the 2020 Census, a downtown rebuilt after the Great Fire of February 1902, and a housing stock where, by American Community Survey estimates, about one unit in five dates to 1939 or earlier.

  • Parapets, coping and drains on the low roof
  • Chimney step and counter flashing

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 01What 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.

Note 02Is it cheaper to put a metal roof on or asphalt shingles?

Asphalt shingles, up front. Metal is rated at 40 to 70 years against 15 to 30 for asphalt, so over a long ownership the gap narrows.

Note 03Why 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.
