Does Your Roof Need Replacing Or Restoring?

We weigh roof age, how much is failing and whether it leaks now. Cedar past 20 years with damage on several slopes usually needs replacing.

Shingles gray but still flat and solid? Weathered roofs with sound shingles often only need restoring.

Signs replacement is due 5 signs
  • Curling and cupping across whole slopes
  • Shingles split through the grain
  • Moss with dark, soft decay under it
  • Sheathing that gives underfoot
  • Leaks that return after patching

Days On The Roof And What Sets The Price

Two to four days is typical for a wood shingle roof replacement on a single-family house. We strip only what we can cover by nightfall, and the deck stays closed when rain or hard cold is forecast.

Price moves with roof size, sheathing repair, shingle versus shake, and pitch and access on attached townhouses and duplexes. Compare what a full roof replacement costs in Queens.
