What our customers say
FAQs
What roofing materials are best suited for Oneida’s climate?
Central New York experiences heavy snowfall, freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional high winds, so durability and weather resistance are key. Architectural asphalt shingles are popular because they shed snow well and carry wind ratings up to 130 mph. Metal roofing—especially standing-seam steel or aluminum—handles snow loads, resists ice dams, and can last 40-plus years with minimal maintenance. For flat or low-slope sections, modern TPO and EPDM membranes perform well against ponding water and temperature swings. We evaluate your home’s pitch, budget, and aesthetic goals to recommend the material that will deliver the longest service life in Oneida’s climate.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Oneida?
Most single-family asphalt shingle roofs (2,000–3,000 sq ft) are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Metal or specialty shingle installations can take three to five days because of additional flashing and trim work. We schedule projects between late March and November to avoid heavy snow, but we can replace roofs in winter if temperatures are above 20 °F and surfaces are clear of ice. Before work begins, we provide a detailed timeline that includes dumpster delivery, tear-off, decking inspection, installation, and site clean-up, so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need a permit for roof repair or replacement in Oneida?
Yes. The City of Oneida requires a building permit for any roofing job that involves structural work or a complete tear-off. Permits ensure that the project meets New York State Residential Code for wind uplift, ice-barrier installation, and ventilation. Minor repairs that replace fewer than 100 sq ft of shingles without disturbing the decking typically do not need a permit, but we verify each case with the city building department. Our team handles all paperwork, inspection scheduling, and permit fees, so homeowners stay compliant without hassle.
How can I tell if my roof needs repair or full replacement?
Warning signs include curling or missing shingles, granule loss in gutters, interior ceiling stains, and visible daylight in the attic. If more than 25–30 % of shingles are damaged, or the roof is over 20 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective than spot repairs. We offer free, no-obligation inspections that include attic analysis for moisture, infrared scanning for hidden leaks, and a photo report. You receive side-by-side repair vs. replacement estimates so you can make an informed decision based on cost, longevity, and resale value.
Are there energy-efficient roofing options that help with New York winters and summers?
Absolutely. Cool-roof asphalt shingles with solar-reflective granules can lower summer attic temperatures by up to 20 °F, reducing AC costs. For metal roofs, we can apply high-reflectance Kynar finishes that meet ENERGY STAR® standards. In winter, proper attic ventilation combined with an R-38 or higher insulation level minimizes ice dams and heat loss. We also install continuous ridge vents and smart vapor barriers to balance airflow while retaining warmth. During the estimate, we calculate potential energy savings and available NYSERDA incentives or tax credits.
What warranties do you offer on roofing labor and materials?
As a certified Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and CertainTeed ShingleMaster, we provide manufacturer-backed extended warranties of up to 50 years on materials and 10- to 25-year workmanship guarantees, depending on the system you choose. Metal roofing systems carry transferable 40- to 45-year paint warranties and a 10-year labor warranty. All warranties are registered with the manufacturer upon final payment, and you receive digital and hard-copy certificates for your records. If any covered issue arises, we handle claim submissions and repairs at no extra cost.
