Roofing Built on Detailed Inspections, Clear Communication, and Long-Term Performance
Most homeowners do not enter a roofing project knowing exactly what to expect, which can make the process seem daunting. A roof replacement or repair is a major project, and the process should feel organized and understandable from the very beginning.
At Mattsson Roofing, the goal is to give you a clear picture of your roof’s condition, what options actually make sense for your home, and what the full process looks like before anything begins. That includes how we inspect, document findings, communicate during the project, and complete the work.
We serve homeowners throughout Bergen, Passaic, and Essex Counties, providing roof replacements, repairs, ventilation improvements, and system upgrades. Every project includes an evaluation of attic airflow and moisture because a roof's performance depends on more than what you see from the outside. Our goal is simple: give homeowners the information they need to make confident, long-term decisions about their home.
Our Residential Roofing Services in New Jersey
Our residential roofing services cover everything from full replacements to targeted upgrades, helping homeowners address issues, improve system performance, or enhance long-term durability.
Roof Replacement: We conduct a comprehensive review of the roof, including decking, flashing, and ventilation, to ensure the replacement addresses current issues and supports long-term performance. Every replacement is managed with on-site supervision, quality-controlled materials, and clear communication so homeowners know exactly what to expect at every stage.
Roof Repair: If damage is limited to a specific area and the rest of the roof is still in good condition, repair may be the right option. We evaluate the full system before making that recommendation, so you are not investing in more work than necessary.
Gutter System Upgrades: Gutters are an essential part of your roofing system. When rainwater is not directed away properly, it can lead to fascia damage, soffit deterioration, foundation issues, and landscape erosion. We install both 5-inch and 6-inch seamless gutter systems, recommending the right size based on your roof's design, water volume, and drainage needs. Properly sized gutters help manage the heavy rain and snowmelt common throughout Northern New Jersey.
Gutter Protection: Gutter protection systems help reduce the buildup of leaves, twigs, and other debris that can clog gutters and restrict water flow. While no gutter guard is completely maintenance-free, a quality system can significantly reduce the need for cleaning and help gutters perform more reliably during heavy rain. We recommend the right gutter protection based on your home's surrounding trees, roof design, and drainage needs.
Skylight Installation: As a VELUX Certified Installer, we install VELUX skylights as part of full roof replacements or standalone projects. Proper integration with flashing and roofing materials is essential to prevent leaks, maximize energy efficiency, and ensure long-term performance.
Roof Ventilation Services: Proper ventilation plays a major role in roof lifespan, energy efficiency, and moisture control. During every inspection, we evaluate attic airflow and ventilation balance to determine whether improvements are needed. Depending on your home's design, we may recommend solutions such as ridge vents, soffit vents, or SMARTVENT® intake ventilation to create a properly balanced roofing system.
Emergency Roof Tarping: When storm damage leaves a roof exposed, emergency tarping protects the home until permanent repairs can be scheduled. This is a short-term measure designed to prevent interior damage.
What Does a Residential Roofing Project with Mattsson Roofing Actually Look Like?
A roofing project is easier to navigate when each step is clearly defined. Here is how we approach residential roofing from start to finish.
How the Inspection and Estimate Process Works
Every project begins with a thorough inspection of your roof, including drone imaging, hands-on checks of shingles and flashing, and a full attic evaluation to identify ventilation, moisture, or insulation issues. Many problems start below the surface, so this step ensures nothing is overlooked.
After the inspection, we prepare a clear, detailed estimate that explains the roof’s condition, what work is needed, and why. This approach gives homeowners a complete picture upfront, with no surprises later.
What Happens Once the Project Starts
Once work begins, the project is actively managed from start to finish. A production manager oversees scheduling and progress, while a supervisor is on-site during active work.
Materials are delivered through Mattsson Roofing, so we maintain control over quality and timing. Homeowners are kept updated throughout the project, especially if anything changes once the existing roof is removed.
If we uncover additional issues during the tear-off, such as decking damage or ventilation concerns, we explain what we see before any additional work is performed. Our post on protecting your property during a roof replacement also covers what to expect on-site.
What Roofing Materials Do Bergen County Homeowners Have to Choose From?
Every home is different, and the right roofing system depends on structure, budget, and long-term plans. We work with three primary roofing materials.
Asphalt Shingle Installation – Atlas Certified
Asphalt shingles remain the most common choice for residential roofing in this region because they offer a balance of durability, performance, and cost. We are a certified installer for Atlas Roofing architectural shingles, which are designed to perform well in climates like Northern New Jersey. Many options include algae-resistant technology and improved wind ratings. When paired with proper ventilation, certain profiles can also support better overall attic performance.
Metal Roofing Installation – Durability and Long-Term Performance
Metal roofing is often chosen by homeowners planning to stay in their home long term. It is durable, low-maintenance, and performs well in shedding snow and rain.
Another benefit of metal roofing is thermal performance. Metal reflects more heat than traditional asphalt systems, which can help reduce attic heat buildup during warmer months. This makes it a practical option for a wide range of home styles, including older homes where longevity is a priority.
Slate Tile Roofing Installation – Traditional Material With Specialized Installation
Slate is a premium roofing material known for its long lifespan and distinct appearance. It is commonly used on higher-end or historic homes.
Because slate is heavy and requires precise installation, especially around flashing and drainage points, these projects require experienced installation practices. When installed correctly, slate provides one of the longest-lasting roofing systems available.
For more guidance on comparing shingles, metal, and slate—and understanding which option is best for your home—visit our Roofing Tips and Insights for Homeowners blog.
How Much Does a Residential Roof Replacement Cost in Bergen County?
Roof replacement cost depends on factors such as roof size, pitch, material selection, and the condition of the decking, flashing, and ventilation system. For a more detailed breakdown, visit our Roof Pricing Guide.
Every estimate is itemized so you can see exactly what is included in the scope of work. If additional issues are discovered during the project, they are communicated before any changes are made. Financing options are available for qualified projects to help make the project more affordable.
Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Roof Replacement in NJ?
Insurance coverage for roof replacements depends on the cause of damage and the details of your policy. Storm-related damage is one of the most common reasons for roof replacement coverage.
We do not manage claims directly, but we ensure you have the information you need to move through the process with clarity. We provide detailed inspection findings that clearly show the roof's condition and the reason the work is being recommended. This helps homeowners have more structured conversations with their insurance provider.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Roofing in Bergen County
If your roof is nearing the end of its 25 to 30-year lifespan or has widespread wear, such as curling shingles, missing granules, or damaged decking, replacement is often the best option. If the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is in good condition, a repair may be all that's needed. Mattsson Roofing performs a thorough inspection before making a recommendation.
You will have a production manager overseeing the job and a supervisor on-site during work. We stay in communication throughout the project, especially if anything changes once the old roof is removed.
We primarily install architectural asphalt shingles, standing seam metal roofing, and traditional slate tile. For asphalt systems, we are a certified Atlas Roofing contractor and frequently install Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine and Pinnacle® Sun shingles. These systems feature HP42® Technology for 130 mph wind resistance and Scotchgard™ Protector for lifetime algae resistance, making them ideal for the Northern New Jersey climate.
Differences in roofing estimates often come down to inspection quality and what's included. Lower estimates may focus only on shingles, while overlooking ventilation, flashing, underlayment, and other critical components. Mattsson Roofing provides comprehensive estimates that address the entire roofing system, helping prevent costly surprises later.
Yes. Any damaged, rotted, or deteriorated decking identified during the initial inspection or the tear-off phase is clearly communicated to the homeowner and replaced. Installing a new roofing system over compromised decking violates installation standards and voids manufacturer warranties, so we ensure the structural foundation is fully secure before laying underlayment.
Yes, replacing gutters during a roof replacement is the most cost-efficient approach because it eliminates duplicated labor costs. Gutters are an integral part of the roofing system's drainage strategy. Upgrading them simultaneously ensures seamless integration with the new drip edge and fascia, effectively managing the heavy rainfall and snowmelt conditions common in Northern New Jersey.
Yes. Attic conditions are a mandatory part of every Mattsson Roofing inspection. Proper ventilation directly affects roof performance, temperature regulation, and moisture control. Our preferred strategy is balanced passive ventilation, combining ridge vents with soffit intake, which creates natural airflow without mechanical components. If an attic fan is required due to roof geometry, the ridge vent must be sealed to prevent short-circuiting the airflow. Our post on ridge vent and soffit ventilation explains how these systems work together.

Our Reviews
From the first consultation with business principal Erik to the hammering of the last nail, the experience of employing Mattsson Roofing to replace our roof, gutters, and soffits was nothing short of a pleasure, with seamless integration and flawless execution. If you’re seeking a competent roofing service that offers this kind of ‘white-glove’ service, I would recommend Mattsson Roofing in Glen Rock, NJ, without hesitation or reservation.
Erik was friendly, knowledgeable, and very honest. He explained how he could repair the leak in my roof to extend its life and though we chose to to go with the new roof option, I found it refreshing to be given a cheaper solution by a contractor. Craig sent me daily overhead drone photos of my roof’s progress… [and] the Mattsson team thoroughly checked my driveway to ensure it was clear of nails and debris.
I own a 1951 split level in Hohokus, nj. Mattsson roofing just installed a ‘Da Vinci’ roof. It is just gorgeous and aesthetically elevates the home. Gutters, downspouts, soffits, a new skylight and a 1800 plus square foot roof were all done in two and one half days by a coordinated team. They also did not leave even a speck of old roofing or a nail behind.
Had an excellent experience with Mattson. It was a pleasure working with Erik, Craig, Dan and the rest of the team. The entire experience from the estimate all the way down to the cleanup was flawless. They answered all my questions promptly, worked cleanly and efficiently. Their constant progress communication was excellent as well! Pricing was very fair.
Erik came over and spent a good amount of time thoroughly inspecting everything and discussing options. We scheduled the work and Craig, Dan, and Rudy ran the operation updating me and answering all my questions and concerns thoroughly without ever being dismissive. They took great care of my property and left the place cleaner than when they arrived. I will be recommending them to everyone. Worth every penny.”
