Metal Roofing in Jersey City, NJ

Jersey City Roofers Pros installs standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofing that sheds nor'easter rain and heavy snow. Salt-laden Hudson River air corrodes lesser roofing materials, so we set panels on new underlayment with every fastener sealed. Call 201-778-9628 for a free roof estimate.

A metal roof on a Jersey City home starts with a full tear-off down to the sheathing, because panels need a flat, dry substrate. We replace any rotted plywood or OSB decking, then run ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys.

Next comes synthetic underlayment, a drip edge at the eave and rake, and standing-seam panels run in long courses wherever the pitch allows it. Fasteners stay concealed under the seams, so there is no exposed screw for snow to catch on.

Cost turns on panel gauge, finish, and roof pitch, so a standing-seam roof with a PVDF finish costs more than an exposed-fastener corrugated panel. Both outlast asphalt shingle, and the finish, not the metal, decides how long a panel holds its color.

Flat sections on a low-slope porch or behind a parapet get TPO, EPDM, or a PVC membrane instead, because metal needs pitch to shed water.

We torch down a modified bitumen cap sheet where ponding water collects near a scupper, and we say so plainly when an old built-up roof has worn to bare tar and finished felt.

What's Included

  • A full roof inspection of the decking, trusses, and rafters before we quote, since clay tile and concrete tile weight has to be checked first.
  • A written roof estimate that lists panel gauge, finish, synthetic underlayment, and labor as separate line items.
  • Tear-off and haul-away of the old shingle, tar paper, or roofing felt down to bare sheathing, with debris loaded into a dumpster.
  • Ice-and-water shield along every eave and valley, plus a drip edge at the eave and rake to satisfy building code.
  • Ridge cap, apron flashing, step flashing, and boot flashing at the chimney, skylight, and dormer, plus counter-flashing where the metal meets brick.
  • Balanced roof ventilation with a ridge vent and soffit vent, plus an attic fan if the space runs hot in July.
  • Magnetic sweep of the lawn, driveway, and gutter line to collect every dropped nail, screw, and metal shaving.

    • Signs You Need Metal Roofing

  • Rust streaks and flaking paint on an old corrugated panel mean the coating has failed and water is wicking under the laps.
  • Bare, curled three-tab shingle or architectural shingle with heavy granule loss shows end-of-life wear, and reshingling will not fix the deck below.
  • Ice dam ridges along the eave every February point to weak roof ventilation and attic insulation, which new venting can correct.
  • Sunlight through the attic boards, or a sag in the roofline you can see from the street, often means a rafter or ridge beam problem.
  • You have already patched the pipe boot or vent boot with caulk and roof cement, and it still weeps after every nor'easter.
  • Cracked, spalling slate or a cedar shake roof that has dried, split, and curled is at end-of-life wear, so patching only delays the tear-off.
  • Loose flashing at a chimney, dormer, or skylight, where sealant alone has been holding the detail together for years.

    • Our Metal Roofing Process

  • We start with a roof inspection from a ladder and, where the pitch demands it, from a scaffold with a safety harness clipped to an anchor.
  • You get a written roof estimate with a line-item scope, so the tear-off, decking, and panels each show their own cost.
  • Tear-off day: we strip the old roofing with a pry bar and roofing shovel, then check every rafter and joist for rot or decay.
  • Deck repair comes next. We replace soft plywood or OSB, fasten new sheathing with ring-shank nails set by nail gun, and add a batten and counterbatten grid where the panel needs to sit off the deck.
  • We set ice-and-water shield, then synthetic underlayment, then run panels to the ridge cap, hand-sealing step flashing, pipe flashing, and mastic joints.
  • Final walk: the air compressor blows gutters and downspouts clear, the magnet sweeps the yard, and we photograph the finished rooftop for you.
