Roof Replacement in Hillcrest, Paterson: what actually fails
A Hillcrest replacement usually covers more than one generation of framing: a post-war house with an addition or dormer built on later. The joint where the newer roof was tied into the original is rebuilt properly during the tear-off, because that is where the old roof most likely let go first.
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.
- Chimney step flashing where brick meets shingle
- The fall on a later flat roof
- Two-family roofs over two households
- The joint where an addition meets the original roof

The joint between flat and pitched roofs checked first, and a written quote before any work starts.
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.
The joint first, then each roof
The tie-in between the flat and pitched roofs, then parapets and drains, then chimney, valleys and boots.
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.
The work, then the walkaround
Membrane turned up and fixed, shingles woven in over it, flashing cut into brick rather than caulked.
What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a photograph of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
- Look at the flat roof from a windowIf a back window looks onto the low roof, check for standing water, a lifted edge or debris at the drain. Do not climb out onto it.

Call (973) 995-9945Note 01What is the most expensive part of replacing a roof?
Usually labor on a complicated roof, and decking nobody could see until the old roof was off. Much of Paterson was framed before plywood, so old boards are priced per sheet once they are counted.
Note 02Do I need to replace the flat roof at the same time?
Not always. If the membrane on the rear section is sound, the joint can be rebuilt and the flat roof left alone. If it is near the end too, doing both at once means the tie-in is built once, properly.
Note 03What is the cheapest option for a new roof?
Asphalt shingle on the pitched roof, at about $1 to $4 a square foot nationally for the material, against $4 to $30 for metal. The cheapest whole job is the one that does not have to come back: sound decking, new flashing and a properly built tie-in.
