What's Included Roof Replacement

Everything You Need Is Included

Your roof replacement includes complete tear-off of old materials, new underlayment, quality shingles rated for Northeast weather, and proper ventilation systems. We install new flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys—the spots where most leaks start.

Cornwall homes often need ice dam protection, so we install ice and water shield in vulnerable areas. Gutters get inspected and adjusted to handle proper drainage.

Cleanup is thorough. We use magnetic tools to collect nails and small debris that regular cleanup misses. Your property looks better than when we started.

How much does roof replacement cost in Cornwall, NY?

Roof replacement costs in Cornwall typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and material choices. A standard 1,500 square foot ranch averages $12,000-$16,000 for quality asphalt shingles. Factors that affect cost include roof pitch, number of chimneys and vents, and any structural repairs needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Many Cornwall homeowners find that insurance covers a significant portion when replacement is due to storm damage.

How long does a roof replacement take to complete?

Most roof replacements in Cornwall take 1-3 days to complete. A typical ranch or colonial home is usually finished in one full day if weather cooperates. Larger homes or those with complex rooflines may take 2-3 days. Weather delays can extend the timeline, but we monitor forecasts carefully and only start when we can work safely and complete sections before rain. We always cover exposed areas with tarps if we need to stop work overnight. The key is having an experienced crew that works efficiently without cutting corners on quality.

What type of roofing materials work best in Cornwall's climate?

Architectural asphalt shingles perform best in Cornwall’s climate because they handle freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and summer heat effectively. We recommend shingles rated for high winds since Hudson Valley storms can be severe. Metal roofing is another excellent choice—it sheds snow and ice well and lasts 40+ years. Cedar shakes look beautiful but require more maintenance in our humid climate. Whatever material you choose, proper installation with ice and water shield protection is crucial for preventing ice dam damage that’s common in this area.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof replacement costs?

Insurance coverage depends on why your roof needs replacement. Storm damage, hail, or sudden events like fallen trees are typically covered minus your deductible. Normal wear and tear usually isn’t covered. If you’ve had recent storm damage, document it with photos and contact your insurance company immediately. We work with insurance adjusters regularly and can help identify covered damage you might miss. We provide detailed estimates that insurance companies accept and can work within approved budgets. The key is filing claims promptly and having proper documentation of the damage.

Do I need permits for roof replacement in Cornwall, NY?

Yes, Cornwall requires building permits for complete roof replacements. The permit process ensures work meets local building codes and safety standards. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service—you don’t need to deal with the paperwork or scheduling. Permit costs are typically $100-$300 depending on your home’s size. Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money, but this creates problems when selling your home or filing insurance claims. Proper permits protect your investment and ensure the work is done to code.

What happens if it rains during my roof replacement?

We monitor weather forecasts carefully and only start roof replacements when we can complete sections safely. If unexpected rain occurs, we immediately cover all exposed areas with heavy-duty tarps and secure them properly. Our crews carry emergency tarps and know how to protect your home quickly. We avoid starting jobs when rain is predicted within the work window. If weather delays occur, we communicate immediately about revised schedules. Most Cornwall roof replacements happen fast enough that weather delays are rare, but when they occur, protecting your home is our first priority.
