Crew completing a tear-off and decking inspection during a roof replacement, with new architectural shingles stacked on the roof deck.

We start every roof replacement with a tear-off, because an overlay hides the problems you are already paying to fix. We pull the old shingle and roofing felt down to the substrate and haul the debris off in a dumpster.

Then we inspect the roof deck board by board. Soft sheathing gets cut out and replaced with new plywood or OSB, and we sister a sagging rafter, joist, or truss before anything covers it up.

New synthetic underlayment covers the field, and a self-adhered ice-and-water shield runs along the eave and through the valley, where ice dams push meltwater sideways under the shingle. Drip edge is fastened at the rake and eave.

We nail architectural shingles in staggered courses with a nail gun, setting each fastener at the right depth so nothing is overdriven. The starter course and ridge cap get hand-sealed, and a ridge vent keeps attic ventilation moving.

Chimney flashing, step flashing, and any pipe boot that has cracked get replaced rather than caulked over. Gutter and downspout hangers are checked before we close out the job.

As a licensed and insured Paterson roofing contractor, we would rather tell you a repair is enough than sell a job you do not need. If the deck is sound and only one slope has failed, a refit is the honest answer.

Residential roofing is also where energy efficiency is won or lost. We check attic insulation, soffit vents, and exhaust so the new system vents heat instead of baking the attic all July.

Green roofing options include reflective shingle and cool-surface coating, and roofing technology has made both far more effective. Sustainability in roofing usually means choosing a system that lasts and keeping the tear-off out of a landfill.

What's Included

Full tear-off of the old shingle down to the roof deck, with every bundle of debris hauled away in a dumpster.

Decking inspection and replacement of any rotted plywood or OSB sheathing before new material goes down.

Synthetic underlayment across the field and a self-adhered ice-and-water shield at the eave and valley.

New drip edge at the rake and eave, plus replacement of failing step flashing, counter-flashing, and chimney flashing.

Architectural shingles set in staggered courses with ring-shank nails, checked with a roofing square for course alignment.

A ridge vent and matching ridge cap, sized to keep attic insulation breathing instead of trapping summer heat.

Gutter and downspout check, with resealing or refitting where hangers pulled loose from the fascia.

Skylight flashing refresh, snow guard installation on steep slopes, and a magnet sweep for stray fasteners.

Our Roof Replacement Process

How Our Roof Replacement Process Runs, Step by Step

We begin with a roof inspection on the rooftop and in the attic, checking the decking and flashing before we quote a number.
You receive a line-item roof estimate that separates tear-off, decking, underlayment, and material so nothing is buried.
We order material, drop the dumpster, pull the permit, and confirm the scope meets local building code.
Crews set ladders and scaffold, anchor a safety harness, and cover the landscaping before a single shingle moves.
Tear-off strips the old shingle and tar paper to the substrate, using a pry bar and roofing shovel, then we clean the deck.
Rotted sheathing is cut out and replaced with plywood or OSB, and we reset a purlin, batten, or rafter that has moved.
Ice-and-water shield goes at the eave and valley, synthetic underlayment covers the field, and drip edge is fastened at the rake and verge.
Architectural shingles run in staggered courses, step flashing and a new pipe boot go in, and the ridge cap and ridge vent close the top.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement

Signs a Paterson Roof Needs Replacement, Not Another Patch

Shingles shed granules into the gutter after every summer thunderstorm, which signals end-of-life wear rather than a cosmetic issue.
Field shingles on the south slope curl, crack, or peel, and the exposed nail heads underneath start to rust.
Ice dams build at the eave each winter and meltwater wicks back under the courses instead of running into the gutter.
Brown stains spread across an upstairs ceiling or along a party wall, meaning water is already past the underlayment.
Flashing at the chimney, dormer, or skylight shows cracked mastic, open laps, or rust that no longer sheds water.
The roofline sags between rafters, or the sheathing feels soft and spongy underfoot near a valley or hip.
Daylight shows through the roof boards in the attic, and the space stays hot even with an attic fan running.
You are paying for a third repair in five years on the same slope, which usually means the assembly has aged out.

Roof Replacement — Frequently Asked Questions

What does roof replacement actually include?

Roof replacement removes the old asphalt shingle and tar paper, inspects and repairs the roof deck, then installs new underlayment, drip edge, and shingle. We replace the flashing, ridge cap, and ridge vent in the same visit, because they work as one assembly.

Which roofing materials hold up best here?

Roof replacement material runs from asphalt shingle and three-tab shingle up to wood shake, cedar shake, slate, and clay tile. Standing-seam panel and corrugated panel are common on metal roofs, and concrete tile handles freeze-thaw cycling well.

How long does roof replacement take?

Roof replacement on most Paterson homes takes a day or two once material lands on site. A steep pitch, a mansard or gambrel roofline, or a double-layer tear-off can add a day. We give you the schedule before we start.

Do you help with storm damage and insurance claims?

Roof replacement tied to storm damage usually runs through an insurance claim, and the paperwork matters. We photograph the damage, submit a line-item scope, and meet the adjuster on the roof. You stay in charge of the claim.

Can a repair work instead of a full replacement?

Roof replacement makes sense when shingles show end-of-life wear across several slopes. A targeted roof repair, reseal, or refit is smarter when the damage sits in one valley, a pipe boot, or a chimney flashing joint. We tell you which one you need.

What else do you handle while the roof is open?

Roof replacement is the right time for gutter installation, a skylight swap, or a reflective coating on a flat porch roof. We also run roof maintenance visits that clear debris and reseal caulk and mastic joints before a leak reaches your ceiling.

"We had ice dams every winter on our rowhome in the Eastside Park Historic District, and two people told us to just patch it. Paterson Roofing Pros tore the whole thing off, replaced the sheathing, and we have not seen a drip since." - Maria G.

"Our cape cod in Hillcrest had granules in the gutter all summer. They got on the rooftop, showed us photos of the cracked flashing, and handed us a line-item roof estimate that same afternoon." - Dave R.

"Storm damage took shingles off the back of our house in Riverside. The roofer handled the insurance paperwork, met the adjuster, and the new roof was on in two days." - Angela P.
