Roof Restoration in Westchester, NY
Older roofs in Westchester usually leak at the metal, not the slate. Flashing, valleys and built-in gutters go first. Our inspection tells you what actually failed before anyone talks about a new roof.
Why people call us in Westchester
- A leak at a chimney, valley or wall where the metal is old
- Slate or tile that is cracked, slipped or missing
- Built-in or box gutters that overflow inside the house
- Someone told you the whole roof needs replacing and you want a second opinion
The roofs around here
Westchester holds a lot of older homes with slate, cedar and copper, plus newer shingle roofs. On older roofs, most leaks are metal and flashing problems.
Repair or replace?
Slate outlives most people's expectations. If the slate is sound and the metal is the problem, repair the metal. Replacement is only honest when a large share of the slate is failing or the deck below has been wet for years.
What changes the price
We do not publish price ranges, because a made-up range helps nobody. These are what an estimate is actually built from.
- How much of the roof is actually bad
- How many old layers have to come off
- Whether the wood deck underneath needs replacing
- The material you choose
- Chimneys, skylights, dormers and valleys, which all add labor
- Permit and disposal
- Matching the existing slate, tile or metal
- Copper or metalwork that has to be formed on site

Questions from Westchester homeowners
Will you try to talk me into a new roof?
No. On older roofs, repairing the metalwork is often the correct and cheaper fix.
Can you match my existing slate?
Usually yes. We tell you before work starts if an exact match is not possible so there are no surprises.
What should I do before the crew shows up?
Move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, clear a path to the attic, and take down anything loose in the yard. We go over the rest when we book the date.
