FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Harrison?
In Harrison’s mixed climate of hot summers, heavy rainstorms, and occasional winter ice, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or early fall. You should also book an inspection after any severe weather event—high winds, hail, or heavy snow—to catch hidden damage before it worsens.
What signs indicate I need roof repairs rather than a full replacement?
Localized issues such as a few missing shingles, minor flashing damage, small leaks, or isolated soft spots can usually be fixed with repairs. If your roof is under 15 years old and shows no widespread shingle curling, granule loss, or structural sagging, repairs are often all that’s needed. Our inspectors evaluate the overall life expectancy, ventilation, and underlying decking to confirm the most cost-effective solution.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and what does it include?
A standard residential roof inspection in Harrison takes 60–90 minutes. We examine shingles, flashing, vents, chimneys, skylights, gutters, attic ventilation, and structural decking. You receive a detailed written report with photos, a condition grade, estimated remaining service life, and prioritized repair recommendations.
Are you familiar with local Harrison building codes and permit requirements for roof repairs?
Yes. We stay current on Harrison’s municipal codes and Westchester County regulations. Minor repairs generally don’t require a permit, but major structural work, decking replacement, or projects exceeding 100 square feet often do. We handle all permitting, inspections, and code compliance so your repair is fully approved and documented.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of roof repairs in Harrison?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of damage. Sudden events—hail, windstorms, fallen tree limbs—are usually covered, while age-related wear is not. Our inspection report includes cause-of-damage documentation, photos, and repair estimates that you can submit to your insurer. We also offer direct insurance claim assistance to streamline the process.
How much do roof inspections and common repairs usually cost in Harrison?
A comprehensive roof inspection starts at $149 for most single-family homes. Repair costs vary by material and scope: replacing a few shingles typically ranges from $250–$500, resealing flashing $300–$600, and fixing small leaks $450–$900. We provide upfront, itemized quotes, and all repairs come with a workmanship warranty for added peace of mind.
