Homeowners never look forward to getting a new roof, but if you own your home long enough, it will eventually need one. Fortunately, when you work with Felgemacher Roofing & Siding in Grand Island, NY, there are three things you can count on:
- A fair and honest price
- Work done by experienced local professionals, all members of the Felgemacher team
- The new roof installed correctly and in compliance with state and local codes.
Roof Repair or a New Roof?
This is an important question to ask if you’re experiencing roof problems. Minor shingle damage or a small leak does not mean it’s time for a new roof.
When we work on roofs in the greater Buffalo, NY, area, we start with a roof inspection. Never let a New York roofing contractor tell you your roof has to be replaced without first showing you a detailed inspection report that outlines exactly why the replacement is needed.
The inspection will tell us – and you:
- The areas of damage we spotted
- What caused the damage
- Future related damage that may occur
- The best way to resolve the problem
Schedule basic repairs when needed, but put on a new roof when ongoing repairs will end up costing as much as a brand-new roof.
Roof Installation Process
Here’s our process if an inspection determines that your Grand Island, NY, roof should be replaced.
We’ll start by tearing off the old shingles and any underlying materials that need to be replaced or rebuilt. A “new roof” can mean a basic shingle job, or it can mean fully rebuilding the truss system and adding new roof decking and underlayment.
Once we remove the necessary parts of the old roof, we’ll take them from your property and dispose of them properly.
To build the new roof, we’ll use premier Owens Corning asphalt roofing shingles, the most durable and beautiful on the market. You’ll choose the shingle color and style you love most.
While we’re putting on the new roof, there will be some level of noise and minor property disturbances. We’ll tell you in advance about what to expect, and you’ll know how long the job will take.
Upon completion, our crew will thoroughly inspect the roof and double-check their work. Before we leave, we’ll remove any leftover roof scraps, tools, and debris from your yard.

- Storms with high winds

- Low-quality shingles used to cover the roof
