Roofing & exteriors in Upper Saddle River, NJ
Roofing, siding, windows and gutters for Upper Saddle River, NJ.
Center-hall colonials, split-levels and ranches on one-acre lots, later custom houses, and the old Dutch stone houses along the river, across the 07458.
Upper Saddle River stayed largely rural until the 1950s, then grew roughly tenfold between 1950 and 1970. Most of its houses date from those two decades: center-hall colonials, split-levels and ranches on one-acre lots, with later custom houses on the same lots and a scattering of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Dutch stone and frame buildings along the Saddle River, among them the Old Stone Church of 1814–1819.
Johannemann & Sons works across the borough from our Edgewater office: roof repair and leak repair, roof replacement and metal roofs, window replacement and repair, copper and aluminum gutters, and siding.

Roofing in Upper Saddle River: what makes this market different
Large houses on acre lots
Most houses went up in the 1950s and 1960s on one-acre lots, and many have been enlarged or rebuilt since. Big roofs, long gutter runs, and more junctions where wings meet.
Roofs of one era
A borough that grew tenfold in two decades has many roofs of similar age with the same weak points: shallow sections over garages and wings, unbalanced ventilation, original decking.
The river roads
The Saddle River runs through the middle of the borough. On the lots along East and West Saddle River Roads, where the downspouts discharge needs planning.
Old stone along the river
Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Dutch stone and frame buildings survive near the river. On those, repair in kind comes before replacement.
Roofing materials we install in Upper Saddle River
Architectural shingle
The usual roof on the borough’s colonials, split-levels and ranches, 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 slate roofs, with synthetic slate where the framing cannot carry stone.
Standing seam metal & copper
Concealed-fastener panels in copper, zinc, aluminum and steel, for whole roofs, porches and low-slope wings. The metal drives the cost, copper first, then zinc, aluminum and steel; we give a written spec after seeing the roof.
Cedar shake
Class A fire-treated cedar, hand-split or taper-sawn, on breathable underlayment with stainless fixings.
Copper gutters
Copper seamless gutters and downspouts formed on site, to go with a slate or metal roof or on their own. See gutter services.

Does Johannemann & Sons serve Upper Saddle River, NJ?
Yes. We work across the borough, ZIP 07458, from the acre lots through the middle to the houses along East and West Saddle River Roads: roof repair and replacement, metal roofs, copper and aluminum gutters, windows and siding. Our office is in Edgewater.
How much does a metal roof cost in Upper Saddle River?
Standing seam metal roof cost depends on three things: the metal (copper is the most expensive, then zinc, aluminum and steel), the roof's square footage, and how complicated it is. A standing seam roof on a large Upper Saddle River house typically ranges $60K-$200K+. Copper bays and accent details add to it. We provide a written scope after seeing the roof, with no obligation.
Do you install copper gutters in Upper Saddle River?
Yes. Copper seamless gutters with copper downspouts, formed on site to the length of each run. They suit a slate or standing seam roof, and work as an upgrade on their own. We install seamless aluminum gutters as well.
Can you handle a roof refurbish on an older Upper Saddle River home?
Yes. On an older house, refurbishment usually means replacing broken slates in matching stone, renewing copper flashing, re-detailing ridges and valleys, and renewing underlayment where it has failed. Where much of the original roof is sound we keep it, and we put in writing what we recommend repairing, what we recommend replacing, and why.
How fast can you respond to a leak repair in Upper Saddle River?
Active leaks are prioritized: we aim to be there within 24 hours, and we can tarp severe damage on the same visit. The repair is quoted in writing after the inspection.
Do you do window replacement and roof replacement together in Upper Saddle River?
Yes. Windows and roofs are part of the same exterior, and doing them together can mean one setup, one schedule and a clean handoff where window flashing meets the siding and the roof. We scope and price them together when it suits the project.
