Roofing & Replacement Windows in Hawthorne, NJ
Roofing, replacement windows, and siding for Hawthorne’s pre-war colonials and capes at the Passaic-Bergen line.
Hawthorne wears its age well. Around the Lafayette Avenue downtown and the streets radiating off it, close to half the borough’s homes were finished before 1940, with the typical house dating to the early 1950s. Colonials and capes of that era were framed with real lumber and roofed with details that later builders abandoned. Mature street trees shade most rooflines here, which slows drying, feeds moss on north slopes, and keeps gutters working overtime. Roofing in Hawthorne is as much about ventilation and drainage as it is about shingles.
Older roofs deserve to be opened carefully. We assess the decking, correct the flashing details that were never right, and supervise the crew from first tear-off to final cleanup. Homestead Roofing holds installer certifications from GAF, TAMKO, James Hardie, and VELUX, giving Hawthorne homeowners manufacturer warranties up to 50 years, honest and upfront pricing, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on all roof installations.
Family owned since 1930, Homestead Roofing runs out of Ridgewood, one county line away from Hawthorne. That closeness matters in practice: the people who write your estimate are the people who answer for the roof years later, and they have been doing it for 95 years.

From a shaded valley leaking on a 1930s colonial to a flat roof on Lafayette Avenue, every Hawthorne job starts with finding out what is really happening up there.
Tear-off and replacement on pre-war homes, with decking repair, corrected flashing, and proper attic ventilation planned and priced before the work begins.
TPO, PVC, EPDM, metal, and coating systems for downtown buildings, plus maintenance plans that keep leaf-loaded drains and seams from becoming interior damage.
Ninety-year-old roof systems fail at valleys, chimney flashing, and worn nail lines. We find the source, repair the assembly, and leave the rest intact.
Mature trees plus high wind is a rough combination. We respond fast to impact and wind damage with same-day leak mitigation.
An inspection shows what shade has been doing quietly — moss, granule loss, soft decking — and gives you a numbered list instead of a guess.
Every major material installed to specification, and honest counsel on when an original slate or cedar roof on an older Hawthorne home is worth keeping.
Pre-war sashes and worn glazing let heat out and moisture in. Our replacement windows preserve the look of Hawthorne’s colonials while ending the drafts.
Efficient and maintenance-free, well suited to capes and the borough’s two-family and rental properties.
Painted-wood character with modern moisture resistance, ideal for shaded pre-war elevations.
Our strongest frames: slim sightlines, generous glass, and no seasonal movement through freeze and thaw.
