We’ve been working Bergen County roofs since 2016, and Englewood’s mix of ridge-top exposure and historic housing stock keeps us sharp. The Victorians along Palisade Avenue, the Colonials tucked into the east side near Route 9W, and the post-war ranches off Tenafly Road each demand a different approach. We’re not guessing at what your roof needs. We’ve done the work here, season after season.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Englewood
Full Roof Replacement
A full roof replacement in Englewood means pulling permits through the Englewood Building Department, and we handle that paperwork start to finish. Bergen County enforces specific underlayment and ice-and-water-shield standards that out-of-town roofers sometimes miss. We’ve seen stop-work orders issued on jobs where contractors skipped the permit step. That doesn’t happen on our watch. We strip to the deck, inspect for hidden rot (common in the 100-year-old rafters of downtown Victorians), and build back with proper ventilation and manufacturer-specified systems. Typical asphalt replacement: $12,000-$18,000. Slate or tile restoration: $22,000-$45,000.
New Construction Roofing
Building new in Englewood? The ridge-top lots along the Palisades offer spectacular Hudson River views, but they also punish a roof. We spec wind-rated materials and enhanced fastening patterns for new construction on exposed sites. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team works directly with builders and architects to match the roofing system to the structure’s design life. We’ve sheathed new homes from Tenafly Road to the Cliffs, and we know which details prevent callbacks five years later.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
Three-tab and architectural shingles still dominate Englewood’s post-WWII neighborhoods, but many are twenty-plus years past their service life. Summer heat and humidity cycles accelerate granule loss on these older roofs, and the freeze-thaw of Bergen County winters opens cracks that let water migrate. We install CertainTeed and Owens Corning systems with proper ridge venting and ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves. Most asphalt jobs in Englewood run $12,000-$18,000 for a complete replacement, completed in two to three days with full cleanup.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has come a long way from the barn-red panels of decades past. We install standing-seam and metal shingle systems in profiles that complement Englewood’s historic architecture. The salt-laden winds off the Hudson corrode standard fasteners and edge details on east-facing slopes, so we specify marine-grade fasteners and Galvalume substrates for exposed locations. A standing-seam metal roof on an Englewood home typically runs $18,000-$28,000, with 40- to 70-year service life. We recently replaced a standing-seam metal roof on a 1920s Tudor in the downtown historic district near Palisade Avenue, where decades of salt-laden Hudson River winds had corroded the original terne-coated steel fasteners. Our team matched the existing matte black profile with a new 24-gauge Galvalume system, installing a reinforced ice-and-water barrier at the eaves to handle the freeze-thaw cycles unique to the ridge.
Tile Roofing
Englewood’s concentration of late-19th and early-20th century estate homes means clay and concrete tile restoration is routine work for us, not a rare specialty. We source matching tiles from Atlas and IKO product lines, and when originals are discontinued, we fabricate custom solutions. Tile roofs in Englewood’s historic districts require careful deck reinforcement (original framing wasn’t always designed for modern tile weight) and specialized underlayment that breathes while blocking moisture. Expect $25,000-$45,000 for a full tile restoration, with individual repairs starting around $800.
Flat Roofing
The low-slope sections common on Englewood’s older homes, dormers, and additions demand membrane systems that handle ponding and thermal movement. We install modified bitumen and TPO systems with tapered insulation where drainage is poor. Flat roof replacement in Englewood typically runs $8,000-$15,000 depending on access and square footage.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Englewood Homes
- Wind-uplift detachment along the ridge. Englewood’s position atop the Palisades escarpment means northeast-facing roof planes endure direct nor’easter and wind-driven rain that flat-terrain neighbors in Teaneck never experience. We’ve re-secured entire ridge caps where uplift peeled back multiple courses of shingles.
- Corrosion of metal edge details and fasteners. Salt-laden Hudson River winds attack east-facing slopes, eating through standard galvanized fasteners in ten to fifteen years. We see this on homes from the downtown district up to the ridge-line properties along Highland Avenue.
- Ice dam damage at valleys and eaves on historic slate roofs. The rapid freeze-thaw cycles of Bergen County’s humid continental climate push water uphill under slate courses, rotting the skip sheathing beneath. Proper ice-and-water shield and ventilation are the fix, not just patching the visible leak.
- Granule loss and thermal cracking on aging asphalt shingles. The post-WWII cape cods and ranches off Tenafly Road and Engle Street carry three-tab shingles now thirty to forty years old. They bake in summer humidity, then contract in winter cold. Replacement is the only honest recommendation.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Englewood
Yes. Englewood’s Building Department requires permits for most full roof replacements, and Bergen County enforces specific underlayment and ice-and-water-shield standards. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork as part of every job. Homeowners who skip this step risk stop-work orders that are actively enforced here. Call (866) 756-1978 and we’ll walk you through the permit timeline for your specific project.
Slate or clay tile restoration is usually the right choice, matching the original material and maintaining the home’s historic character. Many downtown Victorians on Dean Street and Palisade Avenue still carry original slate from the 1890s to 1920s. We source matching tiles and reinforce the deck to handle proper weight. For homeowners who need a more economical path, CertainTeed’s Grand Manor or Owens Corning’s Berkshire lines replicate slate’s dimensional look at lower cost. Call for an inspection and we’ll show you both options.
Yes. We specify 24-gauge Galvalume standing-seam systems with marine-grade fasteners for east-facing and ridge-top homes exposed to salt-laden winds. Standard galvanized fasteners corrode in ten to fifteen years on these slopes. We’ve installed corrosion-resistant metal roofs from the downtown historic district up to Highland Avenue properties with direct river exposure. The material costs more upfront. It costs far less than a second replacement. Call (866) 756-1978 for specifications and pricing.
Proper ventilation and ice-and-water shield at the eaves are the two critical details. Slate roofs on Englewood’s historic homes were often built without adequate intake venting, so warm air melts snow from below, and the refreeze at the eave creates the dam. We install continuous soffit ventilation paired with ridge exhaust, and we strip to the deck at eaves and valleys to apply a high-temperature ice-and-water membrane. This handles the rapid freeze-thaw cycles that are signature to Bergen County’s ridge-top climate. Call for a free assessment of your slate roof’s ventilation.
Call us immediately at (866) 756-1978. Wind-uplift damage along the ridge and flashing is a signature failure mode in Englewood due to our Palisades-ridge exposure, and the next rain will find that gap. We offer same-day emergency tarping to prevent interior damage, then return to properly reflash or replace the affected sections. Don’t climb the roof yourself. The ridge is the line where a roof proves itself, and it’s also where a homeowner can get hurt. Let our crew handle it.
