FAQs
What roofing materials perform best in Central New York’s climate?
Central New York’s weather swings from heavy lake-effect snow to summer heat, so we recommend durable, high-performance systems. Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they are cost-effective, rated for 130 mph winds, and come with algae-resistant granules. Standing-seam metal roofs are ideal for long-term value, shedding snow quickly and lasting 40–70 years. Synthetic slate or composite shake can provide the historic look many Oneida homeowners want while resisting freeze-thaw cycles. Whatever material you choose, we always install ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys to guard against ice dams.
How long will my roof replacement take in Oneida?
A typical single-family home (2,000–3,000 sq ft of roof area) can usually be stripped and re-roofed in one to three working days. The timeline depends on the roof’s pitch, the number of layers to remove, and daily weather conditions. Larger or more complex homes, or those requiring deck repairs, may take four to five days. We give you a detailed schedule before work begins and provide daily progress updates so there are no surprises.
Do I need a building permit for a roof replacement in Oneida, NY?
Yes. The City of Oneida requires a residential building permit for any roof replacement involving structural changes or the removal of existing layers. Roofing Done Right secures the permit on your behalf, schedules required code inspections, and provides you with copies for your records. All work is completed to the current New York State Residential Code and local ice-dam protection standards.
How can I tell whether I need repairs or a full roof replacement?
Several warning signs point to replacement over repair: 1) Your roof is 20 years old or more; 2) Multiple or recurring leaks appear after every storm; 3) Shingles are curling, cracking, or shedding granules that clog gutters; 4) Soft or spongy roof decking indicates rot; 5) Interior stains, peeling paint, or higher energy bills suggest ventilation failure. A free professional inspection from Roofing Done Right includes attic moisture checks, infrared scanning, and a written condition report so you can make an informed decision.
What kind of warranties do you offer on a new roof?
We are a certified installer for GAF and CertainTeed, which lets us register enhanced, factory-backed warranties up to 50 years against material defects and 130-mph wind damage. In addition, Roofing Done Right provides a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks caused by installation errors. Both warranties are transferable to a new homeowner within the first 10 years, adding resale value to your property.
How will you protect my property and handle clean-up?
Before tear-off starts, we lay heavy-duty tarps around the home, cover landscaping, and erect plywood shields over delicate areas. We use dump trailers, not roll-off dumpsters, to avoid driveway damage. Throughout the project our crew magnetically sweeps the yard for nails every day. After completion, we perform a final walk-through with you, re-sweep all work zones, and haul away debris for recycling—leaving your property as clean as we found it.
