Picking a material that fits the house and the street
A new roof installation starts with settling on the right material for the home, the budget, and the character of the surrounding block, and we set out the genuine trade-offs rather than nudging you toward whichever product sells the easiest. Architectural composition shingles cover a great many homes in this city for solid reasons: they are easy on the budget, they come in a broad palette of colors, and they are proven, familiar, and simple to repair down the road. Concrete and clay tile, the silhouette that defines so much of the area's Spanish and Mission revival housing, asks for more money at the outset but serves for decades, holds up admirably against the sun, and keeps a home visually at home on streets like Floral Park and Washington Square. The right answer turns on the house, its architecture, and how long you intend to stay in it.
Because our income comes from installing the roof and not from moving any one product, the guidance you get is anchored in what genuinely suits your circumstances. An owner planning to stay for the long haul, or one restoring a period home, frequently comes out ahead choosing tile, while a different owner is the better served by a quality composition shingle. We give you the honest side-by-side and leave the decision in your hands.
The hidden layer that actually keeps the new roof dry
A new roof amounts to a great deal more than the surface you can see from the street. On new construction, room additions, and accessory dwelling units we assemble the full system starting at the deck: we confirm the sheathing is sound, lay down quality underlayment, fit new flashing at every penetration and wall, run a clean drip edge, and cap it all with the roofing material itself. Each layer has a job to do, and the roof only performs when every one of them works in concert. On a tile roof especially, the underlayment is the layer truly holding water out, so getting it right at the time of installation is what dictates how long the roof goes before it ever needs serious attention.
Ventilation is engineered in from the very beginning, which is one of the real advantages of getting a roof right on a brand-new build. Balanced intake down at the eaves paired with exhaust up at the ridge keeps the attic close to the outdoor temperature, which shields the roof from the sun that otherwise bakes shingles from above and dries out underlayment from below. Plenty of roofs give out ahead of schedule simply because the original ventilation was undersized and the attic baked for years. A fresh installation is the one moment to set that up correctly for the entire life of the roof.
Permitted, inspected to code, and warranty-secure
A new roof deserves to be done properly and aboveboard. We pull whatever permit the job calls for, install to the manufacturer's published specification so the material warranty actually holds, and have the work inspected as code requires. Trimming any of those steps might shave a few dollars off the front end, but it puts the warranty, the insurance coverage, and the home's future resale at risk, and that is simply not how we operate.
Fitting the roof into the larger build is part of doing the job well. On new construction, additions, and accessory dwelling units the roof has to fall at the proper point in the schedule, once the framing and sheathing are ready and in rhythm with the other trades, so the structure gets dried in without stalling the work that comes after it. We stay in contact with the homeowner and, where one is involved, the general contractor to time the install correctly rather than treating the roof as some isolated task dropped into the middle of a project. Nailing that sequence keeps the whole build moving and gets the new space under cover as early as it can be.
Everything begins with a no-cost, no-pressure consultation. We study the project, talk through the material choices and what each one means for you, and hand over a clear written estimate with the scope laid out in full. When the new roof is done, you walk away with the documentation, the manufacturer coverage, and our own workmanship guarantee layered on top, so the roof over your new space is one you can simply stop thinking about.
