Local Chemung Roofing Experts. Licensed & Insured

We don't do shortcuts on replacements. Tear off the old roof, check the decking for soft spots, install synthetic underlayment, drip edge, starter strip, shingles, ridge vent. The whole system. Your roof is only as good as the layers underneath.

Step flashing at chimney walls is the number one leak source we see in Chemung. Improper step flashing causes roof leaks. It's that simple. We install new step flashing with a chimney cricket for proper water diversion, sealed with Geocel tripolymer sealant. Fix it once, fix it right.

Storm damage claims in New York have a 1-year filing window with most carriers. Don't wait. We'll inspect your roof, document the damage, and help you file before the deadline. If there's no damage, we'll tell you that too.

We install new roofs on new construction, room additions, detached garages, and covered patios. Our Chemung crews handle residential and light commercial. Standard install time is 1-3 days depending on size.

Metal roofing costs more upfront at $12-$22 per sq ft installed in Chemung compared to $4-$8 for shingles. But it lasts 2-3x longer and your energy bills drop 15-25%. Math works out over time.

Asphalt shingle roofing is the most common and cost-effective roofing system in Chemung. Our crews install 15-20 shingle roofs a month. We know the product inside and out. Nailing patterns, exposure measurements, hip and ridge details.

We repair and install flat roofs on Chemung homes, garages, commercial buildings, and additions. TPO for reflectivity, EPDM for budget, PVC for chemical resistance near restaurants and kitchens.

Roof coatings can extend the life of your commercial roof by 10-15 years for a fraction of replacement cost. We apply silicone and acrylic coatings over existing TPO, EPDM, and metal substrates. Not every roof qualifies. We'll be straight with you.

Improperly sized gutters cause fascia board rot and foundation erosion. We calculate gutter capacity using the rainfall intensity formula: roof square footage x pitch factor x rainfall rate (inches/hr for Chemung). Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 sq ft of effective roof area. Bigger roofs or steeper pitches need 6" gutters with 3x4" downspouts. We hang with hidden hangers screwed into rafter tails every 24".

Our 27-point roof inspection covers: shingle condition, granule loss, nail pops, lifting tabs, ridge cap integrity, valley flashing, step flashing at walls, drip edge, pipe boot seals, vent function, soffit ventilation, gutter pitch, downspout capacity, fascia condition, decking (from attic if accessible), and visible signs of moisture in the attic. Written report with photos emailed same day.

Emergency tarping is the first priority. We cover the exposed area to stop water entry, then schedule the permanent repair once conditions allow. We don't charge extra for emergency tarp jobs. It's part of the repair cost.

We install, replace, and repair skylights in Chemung homes. Fogged glass, cracked frames, persistent leaks around old skylights. We fix it all. Sometimes replacing a 20-year-old skylight is cheaper than trying to repair it.
