If you’re building a home in West Seneca, NY, or another community in the Buffalo, NY, area, you need a roof to beautify and protect your home. But what if your existing roof is showing signs of aging and decay? Does that mean it’s time for an entirely new roof, or could targeted roof repairs solve the problem?
Seeking the answer to this question, many Erie County, NY, homeowners call Felgemacher Roofing & Siding. They know we’ll give them the right answer.
First Step: Roof Inspection
Never let a New York roofing company tell you that you need a new roof without first performing a thorough inspection. When we evaluate roofs, we look at:
- Condition of the shingles
- Condition of the roof edges
- Flatness of the roof
- Flashing around vents, skylights, and chimneys
- The roof’s decking, underlayment, and truss system
This assessment will tell us the current overall condition of the roof and whether or not major roof repairs will be needed in the near future.
We’ll share our inspection report with you and explain our recommendations.
How West Seneca, NY, Roofs Become Damaged
Several factors can cause roof damage:
- Fierce winds
- Pounding hail
- A house fire
- Unaddressed water leaks
- Low-quality shingles and roof structural materials
- Roof installation that was done by people who didn’t know what they were doing
- Old age, generally beginning at around 15 years
The above issues can cause everything from minor to major roof damage. A roof inspection will tell us exactly what we’re dealing with.
New Roof Installation Process
We’ll sit down with you to discuss the color and design style you want for your roof. We’ll also go over timelines and cost. If you need assistance with financing, we’ll recommend financing through GreenSky.
Removing the Old Roof
The job will begin, and our experienced roofing crew will carefully remove your current roof. This process can include only the shingles or also the materials below them, depending on the reason for installing a new roof. We’ll take all the old materials off the property and dispose of them.
There will be some noise and disruption at your property during the teardown. You’ll know what to expect in advance, and we’ll take steps to minimize the disruption.
Installing the New Roof
We’ll begin building the new roof, which can include the truss support system, roofing underlayment, and roof decking. The asphalt shingles we use for all West Seneca, NY, roofing jobs are made by Owens Corning, a recognized leader in roofing materials throughout New York and the rest of the county.
As with teardown, installing a new roof will also bring a period of disruption, which we’ll minimize in every way possible.
