Common Questions

What are the most common roofing issues you see in Glen Head homes, and how do you fix them?

In Glen Head, we frequently address problems like roof flashing separation and gutter overflow, which are often caused by our seasonal weather extremes. For flashing, we don't just patch it; we assess the underlying cause—often age or improper installation—and replace sections with durable, correctly integrated materials. For gutter overflow, we evaluate the entire system's capacity and pitch, often recommending upgrades or adding downspouts to handle heavy rainfall effectively, preventing water damage to your roof, siding, and foundation.

What does your façade restoration process involve for a historic or older home?

Our façade restoration begins with a detailed inspection to identify issues like mortar deterioration (repointing), stone damage, or underlying structural concerns. As a firm with experience on landmark projects, we prioritize preserving original materials and architectural integrity. The process is carefully managed and may include stone cleaning/repair, tuckpointing with historically appropriate mortar, and implementing a protective waterproofing system. We handle all necessary permits and ensure the work meets both aesthetic standards and modern durability requirements for our local climate.

Do you manage all aspects of a project, or do I need to coordinate other contractors?

As a licensed general contracting firm, Nicholson & Galloway provides complete project management. For a typical exterior restoration involving masonry, roofing, and waterproofing, we coordinate all trades, schedules, material deliveries, and inspections. This single-source responsibility means you have one point of contact, ensuring consistent communication, quality control, and that the different components of the job—like where the roof meets the masonry—are properly integrated to prevent future issues.
