The North Haledon houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1965 at the median, across roughly 3,087 units. Something like 66% went up before 1980.
Plywood sheathing arrived in these years, but so did the multi-level roofline that makes these houses leak in predictable places. Nearly every leak we chase on these houses traces back to a wall junction rather than the field of the roof.
North Haledon covers about 4 square miles and is home to roughly 8,778 people. North Haledon has been its own borough since 1901. It was carved out of Manchester Township.
Local conditions we build for
North Haledon sits in Passaic County — historic mill towns in the south and lake communities up in the highlands. Up here the design problem is weight and ice, not wind. Under New Jersey's construction code Passaic County is designed for 40 pounds per square foot of ground snow, among the highest figures in the state. The weight itself is rarely the problem; the problem is meltwater refreezing at a cold eave and backing up under the shingles. The fix is not a bigger gutter; it is ice-and-water shield carried well past the interior wall line, and a ventilated attic that keeps the deck cold.

“Honest about everything. They showed up on time, kept the property clean, and the roof came out amazing. Made everything stress free.”
Straight answers.
Roofing in North Haledon typically runs $14,000 to $35,000. What moves a given house within that band is size, pitch and what is already on the roof — and with a median build year of 1965 and 66% of the stock built before 1980, North Haledon sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a roof come from the North Haledon construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It does. Passaic County carries a design ground snow load of 40 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
A single day covers most homes here — tear-off, deck repair, dry-in and the new roof, start to finish. North Haledon is about 47 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
