Protection That Actually Protects

Your roof isn’t just shingles and underlayment. It’s what stands between your family and everything Long Island weather throws at you.

When we complete your roof replacement, you get more than new materials on top of your house. You get systems designed specifically for our climate – proper ventilation that prevents ice dams, storm-resistant installation that handles nor’easters, and materials that won’t curl or crack after three summers of Long Island heat.

No more wondering if that next storm will find its way into your living room. No more emergency buckets or cancelled plans because you’re dealing with water damage. Just solid protection overhead and the peace of mind that comes with knowing it’s done right.

Medford Roofing Company

Local Contractors Who Show Up

Rich’s Construction has been handling roof replacements in Medford and throughout Long Island for years. We’re the contractors who actually answer the phone when you call, show up when we say we will, and finish the job we started.

We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that’s not optional in this business. We pull proper permits because cutting corners on paperwork usually means cutting corners on the work itself.

When your neighbors ask who did your roof, you’ll have a name you’re comfortable giving them. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in Medford – one properly installed roof at a time.

Roof Replacement Process Medford

Straightforward Process, No Surprises

We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure, not just the surface damage you can see. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline – no vague line items or surprise charges later.

Once we start, we protect your landscaping and property with tarps and barriers. Old roofing comes off in sections, allowing us to inspect and repair any decking issues before new materials go on. We install proper underlayment, ice and water shield in critical areas, and ventilation systems that actually work.

Every day ends with complete cleanup – no nails in your driveway or debris in your flower beds. When we’re finished, you get documentation for warranties and a roof that’s ready for whatever weather comes next.

Everything Your Roof Replacement Includes

Your roof replacement covers the complete roofing system – not just new shingles slapped over old problems. We remove all existing materials down to the decking, replace any damaged wood, and install new underlayment designed for Long Island’s climate.

You get proper flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys – the spots where most leaks start. Ridge vents and soffit ventilation that actually moves air through your attic. Ice and water shield in areas prone to ice dams and wind-driven rain.

We handle all permits and inspections required by Medford building codes. Complete debris removal and cleanup is included – you won’t find roofing nails in your yard six months later. All work comes with both manufacturer material warranties and our workmanship guarantee.

Roof replacement costs in Medford typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Factors that affect pricing include roof pitch, number of penetrations like chimneys and skylights, and choice of materials. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront – no hidden charges or surprise fees. The investment usually pays for itself through reduced energy costs and eliminated repair bills, plus you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your roof is properly installed.
Most residential roof replacements in Medford take 2-4 days to complete, weather permitting. Larger homes or complex roof designs may take longer. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always protect your home from weather exposure during the process. If rain is forecast, we’ll delay starting until we can complete sections without leaving your home exposed. We coordinate material delivery and crew scheduling to keep the project moving efficiently once we begin.
Architectural shingles perform best in our climate – they resist wind uplift better than basic 3-tab shingles and handle temperature fluctuations without cracking. We typically recommend materials rated for 110+ mph winds given our exposure to coastal storms. Proper underlayment is equally important – synthetic materials outperform felt paper in our humid conditions. The key is proper installation technique, not just premium materials. Even the best shingles will fail if ventilation is inadequate or flashing details are wrong.
Yes, we work with homeowners and insurance adjusters regularly to document storm damage and ensure claims are handled properly. We can provide detailed damage assessments, repair estimates, and photos that insurance companies require. Our experience with local weather patterns helps identify damage that might be missed during initial inspections. We’ll work directly with your adjuster when needed, but we always recommend getting multiple opinions on significant damage claims to ensure you receive fair settlement amounts.
Complete replacement is usually necessary when you have multiple issues happening simultaneously – missing or damaged shingles, granule loss, exposed nail heads, and water stains inside your home. Age is a major factor too; most asphalt shingle roofs in Medford need replacement after 20-25 years due to our weather extremes. If you’re calling for repairs more than once per year, replacement often makes more financial sense than continuing to patch problems. We can assess your specific situation and give you an honest evaluation of repair versus replacement options.
We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start removal if rain is expected within 48 hours. If unexpected weather develops during work, we have tarping systems ready to protect your home immediately. Our crew carries heavy-duty tarps and can secure exposed areas within minutes. We also plan work in sections, so your entire roof is never exposed at once. If extended weather delays are forecast, we’ll pause the project at a safe stopping point rather than risk water damage to your home.
