FAQs
What makes architectural asphalt shingles a good choice for homes in Harrison?
Architectural asphalt (also called dimensional) shingles are manufactured with a thicker, multi-layered fiberglass mat that creates a contoured, shadow-line appearance similar to cedar shakes—without the maintenance. For Harrison homeowners, they are an ideal match for our four-season climate: the extra weight helps resist uplifts from nor’easter winds off Long Island Sound, while advanced UV-resistant granules stand up to strong summer sun. They are Class A fire-rated, available in algae-resistant formulations that combat shoreline humidity, and cost 30-40 percent less than true slate or wood alternatives.
How long can I expect my new architectural asphalt roof to last?
With proper installation and ventilation, architectural shingles carry manufacturer warranties of 30–50 years, and many roofs in Westchester reach the 25–35 year mark before replacement is necessary. Key longevity factors include: (1) professional installation over an ice-and-water shield to prevent winter ice-dam leaks, (2) balanced attic ventilation to exhaust summer heat, and (3) periodic inspections after severe storms. We include a complimentary five-year workmanship warranty that runs in parallel with the manufacturer’s material warranty.
Are there energy-efficient siding options that complement architectural asphalt roofing?
Yes. Insulated vinyl, fiber-cement, and engineered wood siding can all be paired with architectural asphalt shingles for a cohesive look and higher R-values. For instance, insulated vinyl panels add up to R-3.0 continuous insulation, helping reduce heating costs by as much as 15 percent during Harrison’s cold winters. We stock color palettes that match the most popular GAF and CertainTeed shingle lines, so you can create a seamless exterior envelope that boosts curb appeal and energy performance simultaneously.
What does your roofing and siding installation process look like and how long does it take?
A typical single-family Harrison roof (2,500–3,000 sq ft) is completed in two days: Day 1—tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing; Day 2—shingle installation, ridge ventilation, site clean-up. Siding replacement runs three to five days depending on house size and trim details. Our process starts with a digital drone assessment, followed by a detailed written proposal. We pull all Town of Harrison permits, schedule dumpster delivery, protect landscaping with tarps, and finish with a magnetic nail sweep. All debris is recycled per NYSDEC guidelines.
How much maintenance will my architectural asphalt roof and new siding require?
Maintenance is minimal: (1) Annual visual inspections from the ground or via drone; (2) Clearing gutters and downspouts every spring and fall to prevent overflow that can wick under starter shingles; (3) Light power-washing of siding every other year to remove pollen or salt residue. Avoid harsh bleach on colored siding and never pressure-wash asphalt shingles, as it can dislodge granules. Should a rogue branch puncture a shingle, individual tabs can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the roof.
Do you offer warranties or financing for roofing and siding projects in Harrison?
Absolutely. As a GAF Certified™ and James Hardie Alliance contractor we can register enhanced, transferable warranties: (1) GAF System Plus—50-year non-prorated coverage on shingles and accessories; (2) James Hardie 30-year siding warranty. Our own 10-year workmanship warranty is included at no extra cost. For budgeting, we partner with EnerBank USA to provide 0% same-as-cash plans for 12 months or low-interest loans up to 15 years, all with no equity required, making it easier to tackle roofing and siding together.
