Our Roof Replacement Process

Here's How We Handle Everything

First, we come out and assess your current roof situation. We’re looking at the decking, the ventilation, potential ice dam problem areas—not just the surface you can see. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down exactly what needs to happen.

Once we start, we protect your property and landscaping before any tear-off begins. The old roof comes off, we inspect and replace any damaged decking, then install proper underlayment and ventilation systems. This is where a lot of contractors cut corners, but it’s what prevents future problems.

Your new roof goes on with materials rated for our climate, installed to handle snow loads and wind uplift. We clean up completely—you shouldn’t find a single nail in your driveway when we’re done.

Roof replacement costs in Wappinger typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 depending on your home’s size, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the job. Factors that affect price include the number of layers that need to be removed, chimney and vent work, and whether any decking needs replacement. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that insurance often covers a significant portion of replacement costs, especially if there’s been storm damage.
Most roof replacements in Wappinger take 2-4 days depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. We start early and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. The tear-off and installation of your new roof typically happens in one day, with additional time needed for flashing work, cleanup, and final inspections. Weather can extend the timeline—we won’t compromise quality by working in unsafe conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
For Wappinger’s climate, we recommend architectural shingles with high wind resistance ratings and proper ice and water shield installation. The key isn’t just the shingles—it’s the complete system including adequate ventilation to prevent ice dams and proper underlayment for protection during freeze-thaw cycles. We use materials rated for our specific wind loads and temperature ranges. Metal roofing is also an excellent option for our area because snow slides off easily and it handles temperature fluctuations well. The right choice depends on your home’s design and your priorities.
Insurance coverage depends on the cause of damage and your specific policy. Storm damage, hail, and wind damage are typically covered, while general wear and tear usually isn’t. We can help document damage for your insurance claim and work directly with adjusters to ensure all necessary work is included. Many homeowners don’t realize that insurance often covers more than just the damaged area—sometimes the entire roof qualifies for replacement if there’s significant damage. We’ll help you understand what your policy covers and handle the paperwork to make the process as smooth as possible.
Ice dam prevention starts with proper installation, which is why we focus heavily on ventilation and insulation during your roof replacement. We install adequate ridge and soffit vents to maintain proper airflow, keeping your roof deck cold and preventing uneven melting. Ice and water shield installation in vulnerable areas provides additional protection. Proper attic insulation and sealing air leaks from your living space also play crucial roles. When everything is installed correctly, ice dams become much less likely. We’ll also show you simple maintenance steps to keep everything working properly.
Yes, roof replacement in Wappinger requires building permits, and we handle all the permit applications for you. The Town of Wappinger requires permits for complete roof replacements to ensure work meets current building codes, especially for wind resistance and proper installation methods. We’re familiar with local requirements and have established relationships with the building department. The permit process typically takes a few days to a week, and we schedule inspections as needed. This protects you by ensuring all work meets code requirements and helps with insurance coverage and future home sales.
