Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Marcellus, NY homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
Low slope roofs fail at the joints and around anything that sticks through them. That is where we start, not out in the middle of the field.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours. We get the opening closed, photograph it for your insurance, and put the real fix on the schedule.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
Full tear off, decking checked board by board, then a new metal or shingle roof over proper underlayment. You get the price and the start date before anything comes off.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
Here is what working with us looks like in Marcellus: you call, somebody comes out and measures, and you get a written estimate with the panel or the shingle spelled out on it. If you say go, we schedule you and we show up on that day.
The crew tarps the beds, keeps the yard picked up as they go, and runs a magnet over the drive before pulling out. Small things, but they are the ones Marcellus homeowners still mention a year later.
Why people around Marcellus call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
Straight answers to what Marcellus homeowners ask us most often.
No. Estimates are always free in Marcellus. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Marcellus year round, though we schedule shingle work for when it is warm enough for the strips to seal properly, and we watch the forecast so your house is never left open overnight.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Marcellus metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Marcellus ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work back to the real entry point, fix that, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Marcellus metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
Plenty of them. Most Marcellus customers choose from around twenty standard colors, and green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones people pick most. We bring the color chart out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding.
