Roofing Hancock homes the way we have since 2002 — measured on site, priced in writing, and finished the way we would want our own roof finished.
From a single lifted panel to a full tear off, we handle every roofing job a Hancock, NY home is likely to need.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
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.
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.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
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.
A careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
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.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
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.
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.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
Estimates are always free. That line has been on everything we have printed since 2002 and it still is. Somebody comes out to your Hancock home, gets on the roof, looks in the attic if there is a way in, and leaves you a written price.
No pressure and no price that expires if you do not sign that day. If your Hancock roof needs a repair rather than a replacement, we will tell you so, even though the repair is the smaller ticket.
A family roofing company that has kept the same habits since 2002.
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.
Beds get covered, tear off gets hauled as we go, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out. Your yard should look like we were never there.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
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.
Wondering about metal versus shingle, or what a new roof runs in Hancock? Start here.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Hancock 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.
A metal roof installed properly on a Hancock home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
For most Hancock homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Hancock 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Hancock roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Hancock 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.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"Roof on our shop building. They worked Saturdays so we did not have to shut the doors during the week."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"They found a leak two other roofers could not. Turned out to be the chimney flashing, not the roof at all. Fixed in one afternoon and it has been dry ever since."
We take care of homeowners in these neighboring communities as well.
