FAQs
What roofing materials are best for Altamont’s climate?
Altamont sits at a higher elevation and experiences hot, sunny summers, heavy winter snowfall, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. To stand up to those extremes we usually recommend Class 4 impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles or standing-seam steel panels. Both options shed snow efficiently, resist hail, and carry high wind ratings (up to 130 mph). We also install high-temperature ice-and-water underlayment and proper ridge ventilation so the entire system performs reliably year-round.
How can I tell whether I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
Warning signs such as curled or missing shingles, excessive granules in gutters, interior ceiling stains, or daylight visible in the attic are good indicators. If the roof is 15–20 years old or shows widespread damage, a replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated spot repairs. We provide complimentary drone and attic inspections so you’ll get photos, a written condition report, and a clear recommendation that balances remaining service life, resale value, and budget.
How long does a typical Altamont roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes are completed in one to three working days, weather permitting. Day 1 covers tear-off, decking inspection, and underlayment. Day 2 focuses on installing shingles or metal panels, flashing, and ventilation upgrades. A third day is reserved for detail work and a thorough magnetic cleanup. Larger homes or specialty products (e.g., metal, synthetic shake) may add an extra day or two, but we’ll give you a precise schedule before work begins.
Do I need a permit, and will Roofing Done Right handle it?
Yes. Altamont and Schenectady County require a building permit for any roof replacement that involves structural changes or exceeds 100 sq ft. Our team pulls the permit, schedules required inspections, and provides your HOA (if applicable) with product samples and color sheets for approval. All fees and paperwork are included in your written proposal, so there are no surprises for you.
What kind of warranties and maintenance plans do you offer?
Every roof comes with a 10-year workmanship warranty from Roofing Done Right plus the manufacturer’s 30- to 50-year material warranty, depending on the product chosen. We also offer optional annual maintenance: a spring and fall inspection, gutter cleaning, minor sealant touch-ups, and a detailed report for your records. Regular maintenance keeps your warranty valid and can extend the service life of your roof by up to five years.
How much will a new roof cost, and are financing or insurance options available?
In Altamont, an asphalt shingle replacement averages $6.00–$8.50 per square foot, while standing-seam metal starts around $10.00 per square foot. Exact pricing depends on roof size, pitch, and material upgrades like snow guards or skylights. We offer zero-down financing with terms from 12 to 120 months and can coordinate directly with your insurer for storm-damage claims to maximize coverage and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
