Englewood Cliffs Roofers — Palisades-edge custom homes
Englewood Cliffs is one of the more distinctive residential markets in Bergen County. Late-1950s custom builds, ranches with view lots facing east, and the kind of steeper pitches that come naturally to a town built along the Palisades edge. The roofs here aren’t builder-grade and the replacements shouldn’t be either.
Steep-slope, exposed, and detailed for wind
A typical Englewood Cliffs custom home sits at a higher angle than the Bergen average and faces more raw wind from the river side. That means we run enhanced nailing patterns — six-nail per shingle as standard on the higher-exposure planes — full ice & water shield well past the NJ code minimum on the windward sides, and starter strips at every drip edge and rake. Synthetic underlayment covers the entire deck. Anything less and you’ll see lift on the first real nor’easter.
Designer shingles, copper details, premium underlayment
Customers in Englewood Cliffs are usually choosing between architectural asphalt and a heavier designer or slate-look product. We spec CertainTeed Landmark Pro as the default 50-year option and step up to designer lines where the original detailing warrants it. Copper step flashing, copper chimney counter-flashing, and oversized seamless gutter and leader systems round out the scope. For nearby Bergen coverage see Tenafly, Ridgewood, and Hackensack.
