Residential Roofing in Thornwood
Most of the homes we work on in Thornwood are owner-occupied colonials, capes, ranches and split-levels built between the 1920s and the 1970s. These are family homes, and the roof is usually the biggest exterior expense a homeowner here will face. We handle everything from a $450 flashing repair to a full tear-off and replacement with a 50-year warranty. Our crews protect landscaping, run magnetic sweeps for nails, and clean up every night so your yard is usable while we work. If you are buying a home in Thornwood, we also do pre-purchase roof inspections that tell you exactly what you are inheriting.
- Full roof replacement — We tear off the old roof, inspect and replace any soft decking, and install a complete GAF or Owens Corning system with ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and ridge vent. Most Thornwood replacements take two to four days, and the new roof carries a manufacturer warranty of up to 50 years.
- Roof leak diagnosis and repair — Leaks in Thornwood often start at the chimney flashing, a pipe boot, or a valley, and the water shows up somewhere else entirely. We use a hose test and a moisture meter to find the actual entry point, then repair it and verify with a second water test before we leave.
- Storm damage and insurance claims — After a nor'easter or hail storm, we walk the roof, photograph the damage, and give you documentation for your insurance claim. We tarp active leaks the same day and handle the permanent repair once the claim is approved. Hail bruising is easy to miss from the ground, so we always get on the roof.
- Gutter and ice dam prevention — Thornwood's tree canopy clogs gutters every fall, and clogged gutters lead to ice dams and rotted fascia. We clear gutters and valleys, install gutter guards where the debris load is heaviest, and check attic insulation and ventilation to stop ice dams at the source.
