Grayson Roofing & Chimney has served Hudson County homeowners since 2003, completing over 4,500 roof installation projects across all 12 municipalities. From Jersey City’s historic Victorian homes to Hoboken’s modern waterfront high-rises and North Bergen’s dense residential communities, our team understands the unique roofing demands created by Hudson County’s urban environment and Hudson River proximity. Whether you need asphalt shingle installation on a Union City row house or metal roofing for a Bayonne waterfront property, our licensed contractors (License #13VH08775100) deliver superior craftsmanship with 20-minute emergency response times from our Garfield location via Route 3 and the NJ Turnpike.
Hudson County’s position along the Hudson River creates specific challenges for roof installations, including salt-air corrosion from Manhattan’s waterfront proximity, urban heat island effects in densely populated areas like Guttenberg and West New York, and exposure to nor’easter wind patterns that sweep through the river valley. Our installation methods account for these conditions, ensuring your new roof withstands everything from winter ice dams to summer thunderstorms while protecting your investment for decades.

Complete Roof Replacement Systems
We specialize in full roof replacement for Hudson County's diverse housing stock, from pre-war row houses in Harrison to contemporary condominiums in Weehawken. Our installations include proper ventilation systems essential for urban heat island mitigation, ice and water shield protection for waterfront properties, and wind-resistant fastening patterns tested to withstand Hudson River corridor wind loads. Every replacement comes with manufacturer warranties up to 50 years.
Asphalt Shingle Installation (GAF Master Elite)
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we install premium asphalt shingle systems perfectly suited to Hudson County's climate. Our shingle selection process considers salt-air exposure for properties near the waterfront, urban pollution resistance for Jersey City's dense downtown, and color choices that comply with historic district requirements in areas like The Heights. GAF's Timberline HDZ shingles with LayerLock technology provide superior wind resistance for exposed locations along the Palisades.
Metal Roofing Installation
Metal roofing excels in Hudson County's challenging environment, offering exceptional resistance to salt-air corrosion near the Hudson River and reflecting urban heat in densely populated areas. We install standing seam metal roofs, aluminum shingles, and steel panel systems particularly beneficial for Hoboken and Jersey City's modern architecture. Metal roofs last 50+ years and reduce cooling costs by up to 25% in urban heat island zones.
Flat Roof Systems
Hudson County's numerous multi-family buildings, row houses, and commercial structures require specialized flat roofing expertise. We install TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems with proper drainage designed for the county's heavy rainfall patterns. Our flat roof installations meet strict municipal building codes in all 12 Hudson County municipalities and include 20-year manufacturer warranties.

Severe weather doesn't wait for convenient timing. Our 24/7 emergency roof installation service responds within 20 minutes to most Hudson County locations. We maintain emergency materials inventory for rapid deployment during nor'easters and maintain relationships with all Hudson County building departments for expedited permitting when storm damage requires immediate replacement.
Hudson County Roof Installation Challenges
1
Waterfront Salt-Air Corrosion Hudson County’s position along the Hudson River exposes roofs to salt-laden air that accelerates deterioration of standard roofing materials. Properties in Hoboken, Weehawken, and Jersey City’s waterfront neighborhoods experience 40% faster material degradation, with fasteners rusting, flashing corroding, and shingles losing granules prematurely.
Our Solution:
- Stainless steel fasteners and marine-grade flashing materials resistant to salt-air corrosion
- Algae-resistant shingles with enhanced granule adhesion for extended lifespan
- Corrosion-resistant synthetic underlayment instead of standard felt paper
- Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles for properties with unobstructed Hudson River exposure
- Additional sealant application at all roof penetrations
2
Urban Heat Island Effects Dense construction in Guttenberg (America’s most densely populated town), Union City, and West New York creates urban heat island effects that raise surface temperatures 15-20°F above suburban areas. This extreme heat accelerates shingle aging, causes premature granule loss, and dramatically increases homeowner cooling costs.
Our Solution:
- Energy Star-rated cool-roof shingles that reflect solar radiation and reduce attic temperatures by up to 30°F
- Comprehensive attic ventilation systems with ridge vents paired with soffit intake for continuous airflow
- Light-colored roofing materials for flat roofs common on row houses
- Proper insulation coordination to maximize energy efficiency in urban environments
3
High-Density Attached Construction Row houses and multi-family buildings throughout Kearny, Harrison, and older Jersey City neighborhoods share common walls and rooflines. Improper installation can cause leaks into neighboring units, compromise party wall integrity, and violate fire safety codes for shared structures.
Our Solution:
- Specialized crews trained in attached-structure installations with proper flashing at all shared walls
- Coordination with neighboring property owners to ensure seamless water barriers
- Full compliance with Hudson County building codes for fire ratings on shared rooflines
- Strategic staging that minimizes disruption and maintains access on narrow urban streets
- Pre-installation inspections to identify and address party wall conditions

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Installation in Hudson County
How long does a new roof installation take?
Most residential roof installations in Hudson County take 2-4 days depending on your home’s size and roof complexity. Row houses and attached structures require additional time for proper coordination with neighboring properties. Victorian homes in Jersey City’s historic districts may need extra days for specialized flashing work around turrets and decorative elements.
Do I need special permits for roof installation in Jersey City, Hoboken, or other Hudson County towns?
Yes, all Hudson County municipalities require building permits for roof installations. Requirements vary by town Jersey City’s historic districts have additional review processes, while Hoboken requires specific wind-load certifications for waterfront properties. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and certificate of occupancy filings with your local building department, ensuring full code compliance without hassle on your part.
What's the best roofing material for row houses in Union City or West New York?
Row houses present unique challenges because of shared walls and rooflines. Asphalt shingles work well for most row house applications, offering good value and easy future matching if neighbors need repairs. For flat-roof sections common on row houses, we typically recommend TPO or EPDM systems with excellent fire ratings required for attached structures. Metal roofing is also an excellent choice for its longevity and fire resistance, though it requires coordination with adjacent properties during installation.
How do you handle roof installations on narrow Hudson County streets?
Narrow urban streets are standard in older Hudson County neighborhoods. We use specialized equipment including roof-mounted conveyors to lift materials directly to the roof, eliminating the need for ground staging that blocks streets. Our crews arrive early to secure parking permits when needed and coordinate material deliveries during off-peak hours.
Can you install roofs year-round, or should I wait until spring?
We install roofs year-round throughout Hudson County, though each season has considerations. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions with moderate temperatures. Summer installations are common but require early-morning starts to avoid extreme urban heat. Winter installations are possible—we use special cold-weather adhesives and techniques—though snow and ice delays are more likely. For emergency installations after storm damage, we work regardless of season with appropriate weather modifications. Contact us for 24/7 emergency roofing services
