Roof Replacement Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your current roof and give you a detailed estimate. No surprises, no hidden costs. You know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

We handle all permits and coordinate material delivery. Your new roofing materials arrive when we need them, not cluttering your driveway for weeks.

Our crew removes your old roof section by section, inspects the decking underneath, and replaces anything that’s not solid. Then we install your new roof with proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation.

Daily cleanup happens every day. We’re not leaving nails in your driveway or debris in your yard until the job’s done.

Everything Your Roof Needs

Your roof replacement includes complete tear-off of old materials, inspection and replacement of damaged decking, new underlayment, quality shingles, and proper flashing around chimneys and vents.

We handle gutters if they need updating, and we make sure your attic ventilation is working properly. A new roof without proper ventilation is money wasted.

In Cold Spring Harbor, we see a lot of storm damage from nor’easters and summer storms. We work with your insurance company to make sure you get what you’re entitled to, and we know what adjusters look for.

Roof replacement costs depend on your home’s size, the materials you choose, and what we find when we remove the old roof. Most homes in Cold Spring Harbor run between $15,000 and $35,000 for a complete replacement. We give you a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and any extras like new gutters or additional ventilation. The estimate includes everything – no surprise charges when we’re halfway done.
Most roof replacements take 2-4 days depending on size and weather. We start early, work steady, and clean up each day so you’re not living in a construction zone. If we hit bad weather, we stop work and make sure everything’s covered properly. We’d rather take an extra day than rush through and create problems. You’ll know our timeline before we start, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
Architectural shingles handle Long Island weather better than basic 3-tab shingles. They’re thicker, last longer, and look better. For homes near the water, we often recommend impact-resistant shingles that hold up to hail and wind-blown debris. Metal roofing works well too, especially if you’re planning to stay in your home long-term. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your house, your budget, and how long you’re planning to stay.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly. We can meet with your adjuster, provide documentation of damage, and make sure nothing gets missed. Insurance companies sometimes try to patch instead of replace, but if your roof truly needs replacement, we’ll document why. We know what adjusters look for and how to present a claim properly. We can also work with your deductible and payment schedule to make the process easier.
If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re having multiple leak issues, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Missing or curling shingles, granules washing into your gutters, and daylight visible through your attic are signs you’re past the repair stage. We’ll give you an honest assessment – sometimes a few repairs buy you another couple years, and sometimes you’re throwing money away by not replacing. We make money either way, so you’ll get a straight answer.
We warranty our workmanship for 10 years, and the shingle manufacturers provide material warranties ranging from 25 years to lifetime depending on what you choose. If something goes wrong because of how we installed it, we fix it at no charge. If a shingle fails because of a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer covers replacement. We handle warranty claims for both, so you’re not dealing with paperwork and phone calls when you just want your roof fixed.
