Roofing & exteriors in Allendale, NJ
Roofing, siding, windows and gutters for Allendale, NJ.
Railroad-era streets around the station, and newer houses on larger lots beyond them, across the 07401.
Allendale grew from the railroad. The Erie reached it in 1848, and in 1868 the first building lots were laid out along Park Avenue, Mallinson Street and First Street, with more along Brookside Avenue and Allendale Avenue the same year. Farms were sold off as building sites from 1869, and the town spread outward onto former farmland and drained meadow, with mid-century and later houses on larger lots toward Saddle River, Wyckoff and Mahwah.
Johannemann & Sons works across the borough from our Edgewater office: roof repair and slate repaired in kind, roof replacement in slate, cedar, metal or architectural shingle, window replacement and repair, copper and aluminum gutters, and siding.

Roofing in Allendale: what makes this market different
Two layers of housing
A late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century core on the 1868 streets near the station, and a broad ring of mid-century and later houses on larger lots. Each needs a different roof.
Former wetland to the east
The Celery Farm and the meadows around it were a bog, Wolf Swamp, drained in 1888. On the low eastern ground near Route 17, where roof water goes matters.
Older houses worth repairing
Where an older house near the station still has its slate, cedar or wood sash, repairing it in kind usually comes before replacing it.
Bigger roofs on the outer lots
Larger houses on larger lots mean longer gutter runs and more valleys, and the valleys and wall junctions are where the leaks start.
Roofing materials we install in Allendale
Architectural shingle
The usual roof on the mid-century and later houses, with ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys and balanced ventilation.
Natural & synthetic slate
Broken slates replaced in matching stone, and full natural or synthetic slate roofs.
Cedar shake
Class A fire-treated cedar, hand-split or taper-sawn, on breathable underlayment with stainless fixings.
Copper & standing seam metal
Concealed-fastener panels in copper, zinc, aluminum and steel, and copper bays and accent details.
Window replacement & repair
Wood sash restored on the older houses, and energy-efficient replacements sized to the openings where the originals are beyond saving.
Copper & aluminum gutters
Seamless gutters formed on site to the length of each run. See gutter services.

Does Johannemann & Sons serve Allendale, NJ?
Yes. We work across the borough, ZIP 07401, from the 1868 streets around the station to the newer houses on larger lots toward Saddle River, Wyckoff and Mahwah: roof repair and replacement, slate, cedar and metal, windows, gutters and siding. Our office is in Edgewater.
What roofing materials suit Allendale homes?
On the older houses near the station, slate or cedar where the house had it originally, and architectural shingle where it did not. The mid-century and later houses on the larger lots mostly suit architectural shingle, with standing seam metal on porches and low-slope sections. We match the material to the house.
Do you install copper gutters in Allendale?
Yes. Copper seamless gutters and downspouts, formed on site to the length of each run. They suit a slate or copper roof and an older house, and we install seamless aluminum gutters as well.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Allendale?
Not for replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house: New Jersey treats it as ordinary maintenance, with no permit, notice or inspection. Replacing roof sheathing does need a permit, as do townhouse and condominium roofs and any structural work. The construction official has the final word.
