Landmark Review Comes Before New Slate Or Cedar
Homes in Douglas Manor and on Douglaston Hill sit inside landmark districts. Replacing slate or cedar that shows from the street can need landmark district review before work starts, so we ask about it on the first call.
The new roof then matches the old one in material, flashing and chimney details. The house keeps its character.

Where The Weather Hits Douglaston Roofs
Three conditions near Little Neck Bay wear these roofs down.
-
Nor'easter wind
Gusts off the bay lift shingles and loosen flashing, and repairing roofs after a nor'easter is regular work for us.
-
Salt air
It corrodes metal flashing and fasteners on waterfront homes, and replacing salt-corroded flashing stops the leaks that follow.
-
Mature trees
Limbs fall in storms and leaves pack gutters, so storm damage repair and gutter cleaning often go together.
