Paterson Roofing Pros keeps low-slope commercial roofs watertight through Passaic County freeze-thaw winters and stormy summers. When a membrane splits or water ponds against a parapet, we survey the rooftop and tell you plainly whether a repair or a full tear-off is the right call. Call 9737869795.

Commercial roofing is the assembly that keeps a low-slope building dry — the membrane, insulation, and flashing that sit above your tenants. We install TPO, EPDM, and PVC single-ply, modified bitumen, and built-up roof systems, and we coat failing roofs that still have life left.

System choice drives price. TPO welds into a light reflective sheet; EPDM rubber handles foot traffic around rooftop units; modified bitumen suits older decks. Carlisle SynTec, GAF EverGuard, Firestone, Johns Manville, and Versico all publish 15- to 30-year warranty terms on approved systems.

When the roof deck is sound, we recover or overlay instead of a full tear-off, which saves dumpster fees and keeps tenants in place. Wet insulation, rot, or a sagging deck means a strip to the sheathing, new substrate, and a fresh start.

Every job follows building code for edge metal, drainage, and fire ratings. Crews work off scaffold where pitch allows, tie off to roof anchors in safety harnesses, and cut in ventilation at parapet walls and scuppers.

Many Paterson buildings mix a flat membrane roof with a pitched section clad in asphalt shingle, slate, clay tile, or wood shake. We handle both, along with drip edge, ridge cap, ridge vent, soffit vent, and attic fan details that keep air moving.

What's Included

A roof asset survey that maps every membrane seam, flashing detail, drain, and scupper on the rooftop before we quote.

Core cuts and moisture readings through the insulation, so you know whether a recover or a full tear-off is honest.

Tear-off and haul-away of failed membrane, wet insulation board, and debris in a dumpster staged clear of tenant parking.

New TPO or EPDM membrane, self-adhered underlayment at penetration details, and hand-sealed laps at every splice.

Modified bitumen torch or cold-applied cap sheets over areas where foot traffic and rooftop equipment wear the surface.

Parapet, coping, and metal panel edge work, plus counter-flashing and pipe boot replacement at every penetration.

Building code compliance for drainage, edge securement, and fire rating, written as line-item pricing you can take to a board.

A written roof estimate listing materials, square counts, and schedule, so property managers can compare bids side by side.

Our Commercial Roofing Process

What a Commercial Roof Survey Checks

Deck condition: we walk the rooftop and probe for soft spots, sag, and rot in the plywood or OSB sheathing under the membrane.
Membrane and seams: every lap, splice, blister, and puncture gets marked, plus a moisture scan to find saturated insulation.
Drainage: drains, scuppers, gutters, and downspouts are checked for ponding water and debris that backs storm flow up under the roof.
Flashings and edge metal: parapet coping, counter-flashing, apron flashing, step flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots get inspected for separation.
Penetrations and equipment: HVAC curbs, skylights, vents, and anchors get a sealant and caulk check at every fastener and screw.
Code and safety review: building code items for edge securement, fire rating, and ventilation, plus anchor points for safety harness work.
Written roof estimate: square counts, materials, schedule, and line-item pricing delivered so you can compare bids fairly.

Signs You Need Commercial Roofing

Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Attention

Ponding water sits on the membrane more than two days after rain, which points to a blocked drain or a settled deck.
Ceiling tiles stain or paint peels above a tenant space, the first sign water is wicking down through the roof deck.
Membrane seams blister, split, or pull apart at the lap, often after freeze-thaw cycles open small gaps into leaks.
Granule loss leaves the surface chalky, and asphalt or bitumen flake off underfoot, meaning the coating is eroding.
Flashings at the parapet, chimney, or pipe boot lift from the field, letting Nor'easters drive rain sideways behind them.
Insulation feels spongy underfoot, a sign the roof deck has taken on moisture and the system is at end-of-life wear.
Daylight shows through the roof deck from inside the building, or the roofline sags visibly along one bay.
HVAC curbs, vents, and skylights sit in standing water, or fasteners and screws back out of metal panels.

Commercial Roofing — Frequently Asked Questions

What does commercial roofing cost in Paterson?

Commercial roofing generally runs about $5 to $12 per square foot installed, depending on whether we recover the existing membrane or tear off to the roof deck. A small 2,000-square-foot rooftop sits at the low end; a larger building with tapered insulation, new coping, and several scuppers lands higher. Every roof estimate is line-item, so you can see each cost.

How long does a commercial roof replacement take?

Commercial roofing usually takes one to three weeks on a moderate-sized building, weather permitting. A straightforward overlay moves faster than a full tear-off, which adds dumpster cycles and deck repairs. We phase the work around your tenants and never leave a rooftop open overnight.

Do you coordinate with property managers and tenants?

Commercial roofing schedules revolve around the people inside the building. We post notices, keep staging out of tenant parking, and work in sections so no unit goes unprotected through a storm. Facility directors get one point of contact and a written schedule.

Can you help with an insurance claim after storm damage?

Commercial roofing claims go smoother with documentation. We photograph the damage, record the storm date, meet the adjuster on the rooftop, and prepare a line-item estimate that matches the insurance scope. If the adjuster misses damaged sections, we file a supplemental claim.

When is a repair the right call instead of a replacement?

Commercial roofing can be repaired when the deck is dry, the insulation is sound, and damage sits in one area. If moisture readings show widespread saturation, if the membrane is at end-of-life wear, or if repairs pass 30 percent of replacement cost, we will say so plainly.

Does the season change how the work is scheduled?

Commercial roofing installs year-round on low-slope systems, though hot humid summers with frequent thunderstorms and snowy winters with freeze-thaw cycles shape the calendar. Adhered and self-adhered membranes need dry, above-freezing conditions, so we plan those for spring and fall.

Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers.

"We manage a three-story brick building near the Great Falls Historic District, and water seeped into the top-floor units every spring. Paterson Roofing Pros surveyed the rooftop, showed us photos of the failed seams, and recovered the membrane over two weekends so our tenants never had to move out." — Maria C., Great Falls Historic District

"Our Hillcrest building had ponding water sitting on the membrane after every storm, and two other contractors just wanted to sell us a full tear-off. This crew core-cut the insulation first, found it dry, and installed a new coating with new pipe boots instead." — Dave R., Hillcrest

"After a March nor'easter peeled back the edge metal and counter-flashing on our Riverside building, they tarped the rooftop the same afternoon. The line-item estimate matched the insurance scope, and the parapet and coping repairs were finished inside a week." — Anthony P., Riverside
