Paterson roofing — flat roofs & urban buildings, occupied & operational

America's first planned industrial city — 230 years of building history

Paterson is one of America's most historically significant industrial cities. Founded in 1792 by Alexander Hamilton specifically as a planned manufacturing center using the power of the Great Falls, it became the silk capital of the world and a center for locomotive and submarine production. The building fabric that housed these industries — worker tenements, later apartment buildings, mixed-use commercial blocks — is what defines Paterson's roofing market today. The Great Falls are now a National Historical Park; the surrounding neighborhoods are a dense urban community where flat-roof systems on multi-family buildings are the dominant roofing challenge. We've been doing this work here for 20 years.
