What Kinds of Shingles Do We Install?

We work with a few different shingle types. What you choose depends on your house, your budget, and the look you’re going for:
 These are the simplest type. If the goal is to keep things affordable and cover the roof without overthinking it, 3-tabs do the trick. We still install these on smaller houses, garages, and some rentals.
 These look a bit nicer and hold up better in rough weather. They’re thicker and have more shape to them. Honestly, this is what most folks around here end up picking. It’s a solid middle ground.
These are for when someone wants their roof to stand out. Copy the look of old cedar or slate, but without the cost or hassle.

Durability & Lifespan in the New York Climate

If installed right and taken care of, asphalt shingles in this climate usually last 20 to 30 years. But let’s be honest. Our winters are rough. Heavy snow, ice dams, summer heat, and wind can wear things down faster if the roof wasn’t installed well.

Want to get more years out of your roof? Here’s what we recommend:

A well-done roof and some basic upkeep go a long way. You’ll get more years out of it, fewer headaches, and the warranty stays valid.

Roof Systems We Install and Replace

Different homes call for different roofing systems, and not every crew knows how to handle them all. Our team has spent years working with a wide range of materials, making sure each roof is built to match both the house and the weather we see here in Rockland and Westchester.
Slate Roofs

Slate is one of the most durable options out there, but it takes skill to install or replace without breaking tiles. Our crew has hands-on experience handling slate the right way, so the look and strength last for decades.

Metal Roofs

Metal roofs are built for homeowners who want long-term protection with little upkeep. From standing seam to corrugated panels, we install systems that shed snow, handle wind, and stand strong for years.

Tile Roofs

Clay, concrete, or composite tiles add curb appeal and perform well in extreme weather. We install tile roofs that don’t just look good but are fitted correctly to avoid shifting or leaks down the road.

Cedar Roofs

Cedar shake gives a home a classic look and natural insulation. We work with both traditional cedar and synthetic versions, always installed with proper flashing and ventilation to keep rot and moisture from creeping in.

Flat Roofs

Flat roofs are common on porches, additions, and modern builds. We install TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems designed with proper drainage to prevent pooling water and future leaks.

Usually somewhere between $3.40 and $6 per square foot. Rockland’s often a bit cheaper, mostly due to labor rates. We break it all down for you in the quote.
For most people, yeah. They last longer, they look better, and they can take more of a beating. Most last over 30 years if you take care of them.
Not always. The material warranty usually covers defects. Storm stuff usually goes through your homeowner’s insurance, but we’ll help you figure it out.
Yeah, in most cases. If the materials are in decent shape, we’ll take it to a place that handles asphalt recycling. No reason to toss good stuff in a landfill if we don’t have to.
