Paterson is the densest roofing market we work — 160,000 residents across 8 square miles, with a housing stock split between 1880s-1900s mill-worker rowhouses around the Great Falls, 1920s wood-frame three-deckers in the 4th and 5th wards, and 1960s-1980s apartment buildings along Route 20. Each housing class needs a different roofing approach.
We do a lot of insurance work in Paterson — wind storms regularly take ridge caps off the three-deckers, and the 1980s apartment complexes are hitting their first EPDM-to-TPO replacement cycle. Storm tarps go up in Paterson 5-10 times a year between nor'easters and summer microbursts.
