THE ROOF REPLACEMENT PROCESS

What is included in a full roof replacement?

A full roof installation means taking the old roof down to the deck and rebuilding it as a system, not laying new shingles over the old ones. We remove every layer, inspect and repair the decking underneath, then install new underlayment, ice and water shield, ventilation, flashing, and shingles.

Layover jobs are cheaper, and they are why so many Mohawk Valley roofs fail early. You cannot see rotten decking through a second layer of shingles, and the extra weight shortens the life of everything above it. If your roof still has years left in it, we will tell you that and quote a repair instead.

Full tear-off to the deck

Every layer comes off. No layovers.

Decking inspected and repaired

Rot gets replaced before anything goes back on.

Ice and water shield at the eaves

The layer that stops ice dams getting in.

Proper attic ventilation

Ridge and soffit vents balanced, not guessed.

WHY HOMEOWNERS PICK US

Certifications that take years to earn, and are checked every year.

Any contractor can buy shingles. Very few are approved to install them at the top tier by both GAF and CertainTeed, and fewer still have been voted the best in this valley four separate times.

Great job…..they arrived bright and early and worked till dark completed roof in 1 day. Cleaned everything up. We went from metal roof to shingles. All the workers worked very well as a team there was no loafing around they were all hard workers.

I have had them out twice now to replace sections of my roof. Both times they did amazing work. They left the area clean when they were done, even taking extra care around all of the plants as to not damage anything. Great work and communication.

We just got a new roof with this company. Pete and Gina are fantastic. Their financing through Green Sky was quick and easy. Their workers worked really fast and did a great job, all the way to the end with great clean up. They were done in one day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ROOFING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Straight answers to what homeowners and building owners ask us most. Still not sure about something? Call (315) 733-3106 and a real person will pick up.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Utica, NY?

There is no single number, and a contractor who quotes one before seeing the roof is guessing. Four things set the price: the size of the roof measured in squares, the pitch, the material you choose, and how many old layers have to come off. The fifth is the one nobody can price in advance. We cannot see the condition of the deck underneath until the old roof is off, and on a roof that has been leaking for a while some of that plywood is usually soft. Our written estimate carries a per sheet price for decking replacement, so if we find rot you already know what it costs rather than getting a phone call mid job. Estimates are free and itemized.

How long does it take to replace a roof?

Most full roof replacements are done in a single day. Larger or steeper roofs, and jobs where we find rotted decking underneath, can run into a second day. We tell you which one you are looking at before we start rather than partway through.

How do I know if I need a new roof or just a repair?

If the shingles are curling or losing granules across the whole roof, or the roof is past about twenty years, it is usually replacement territory. Damage in one area, around a chimney or a valley, is often a repair. We come out and look, and if your roof still has years left in it we will tell you that and quote the repair instead.

Do you replace roofs in Rome and Herkimer?

Yes. We work within about 25 miles of our Utica shop, which covers Rome, Herkimer, New Hartford, Whitesboro, Ilion, Clinton, Oneida, and the rest of the Mohawk Valley across Oneida, Herkimer, Madison, and Onondaga Counties.

What is a GAF Master Elite contractor?

Master Elite is the highest level GAF gives a roofing contractor, and roughly the top two percent of contractors nationally hold it. It requires proper licensing, insurance, and a track record GAF verifies, and it has to be re-earned every year. We also hold CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, which is CertainTeed’s top tier.

Can I finance a new roof?

Yes. We offer fixed rate plans and deferred interest financing through the GreenSky® Program. Ask when we quote your job and we will walk you through the current options and what each one asks of you.
