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.

Call (973) 995-9945Note 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.
