⭐ Trusted by Passaic County Business Owners
"GenSun had such an easy process. They were completely transparent and provided an easy online meeting and got the price for all 3 options right up front before they even saw the roof… then they came to inspect and actually lowered the original price. Very honest people and the job they did was terrific."— Mr. Gould, Warehouse Owner
"My property manager was blown away by their process. Great people, very educated about flat roofs, provided us options. We ended up doing the full replacement and their pricing was 25% less than 3 other guys! Thanks to Coach Jim and his team."— Pastor John, Catholic Church
"Truly a no-brainer. GenSun made it so easy from the start — pricing up front in a Zoom meeting, then inspected to confirm. The low price was a huge incentive as well."— Jeremy, Commercial Industrial Building

Which Option Is Right for Your Building?
🟢 Roof Coating — Protect & Extend
A commercial roof coating is a seamless, fully-adhered liquid membrane applied directly over your existing flat roof. It seals cracks, stops leaks, reflects UV rays, and extends roof life — all without the expense and disruption of tear-off or re-installation.
Best For:
- ✓Roofs in fair to good condition
- ✓Roofs under 15–18 years old
- ✓Sound deck and dry insulation
- ✓Minor cracks, seam failures, or UV degradation
- ✓Budget-conscious property owners in Passaic County
Types of Coatings:
- ✓Silicone — Best for ponding water, 10–20 yr lifespan
- ✓Rubber (EPDM) — Durable, handles NJ temperature swings
- ✓Spray Foam (SPF) — Insulates & waterproofs simultaneously
🟡 Roof Re-Cover — Renew Without Full Tear-Off
A roof re-cover involves installing a brand new roofing membrane over the top of the existing system — without removing the old one. It delivers a fresh, warrantied roof at significantly less cost than a full tear-off replacement.
Best For:
- ✓Roofs with failed membrane but dry insulation
- ✓Buildings where a second layer is permitted by code
- ✓Property owners wanting a warrantied new roof without full cost
- ✓Situations where minimal business disruption is critical
Important Notes:
- ⚠Codes typically allow only ONE re-cover before full replacement
- ⚠Any wet insulation must be removed before overlay
- ⚠Adds slight weight load — structural review may be needed
- ✓GenSun performs moisture scanning before recommending
- ✓Saves 30–50% vs. full replacement
- ✓New 20–25 year manufacturer warranty included
🔴 Full Roof Replacement — The Complete Solution
When a flat roof has reached the end of its serviceable life — with structural damage, saturated insulation, deck deterioration, or widespread failure — a full replacement is the only lasting solution. GenSun installs a brand new high-performance roof system built to last 25–30 years.
Best For:
- ✓Roofs over 20–25 years old
- ✓Widespread structural damage or rot
- ✓Saturated or compressed insulation
- ✓Roofs that have already been re-covered once
- ✓Multiple active leaks throughout the system
Systems We Install:
- ✓TPO — Reflective, heat-welded, 20–30 yr lifespan
- ✓EPDM — Rubber membrane, ideal for NJ winters
- ✓Modified Bitumen — Multi-ply, extreme durability

Why Passaic County Business Owners Trust GenSun
Passaic County is one of the most commercially active counties in northern New Jersey, home to a diverse mix of industrial warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail centers, churches, schools, and multi-unit commercial properties. From the dense urban corridors of Paterson and Clifton to the sprawling commercial parks of Wayne and Woodland Park, flat roofs are the dominant roofing system on virtually every commercial and institutional building — and they all face the same brutal challenge: New Jersey weather.
New Jersey’s climate is notoriously hard on flat roofs. Passaic County sees everything from heavy summer thunderstorms and ponding rain events to deep freeze-thaw cycles throughout the winter months. This repeated thermal expansion and contraction causes seams to open, membranes to crack, and insulation to absorb moisture over time. If left unchecked, a minor seam failure in Paterson or a small crack in a Totowa warehouse roof can turn into a six-figure structural repair within just a few years.
At GenSun Roofing, we’ve spent over 35 years working with commercial property owners throughout Passaic County. We understand the specific building stock across the county — from the older brick mill buildings and manufacturing warehouses in Paterson and Passaic City to the modern retail strips and office complexes in Wayne and Clifton. We never recommend a full replacement when a coating or re-cover will do the job for a fraction of the cost.
Our process starts before we ever set foot on a roof. We schedule a free 20-minute Zoom meeting with the property owner or manager to review aerial photos, discuss roof history, and walk through all three pricing options in real time. This transparency has earned us a 5-star rating on Google and the trust of businesses, churches, and commercial property managers across Passaic County.
Whether you manage a warehouse complex in Clifton, a strip mall in Wayne, a church in Hawthorne, an industrial property in Totowa, or a retail building in Little Falls — GenSun has the local knowledge, certified crews, and honest pricing to get your roof handled correctly the first time.
