Quick Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Candor, NY 13743

Absolutely. When we construct a new ADU or guest house, we design and build the roof system from the ground up with local weather challenges in mind. This includes proper slope, high-quality underlayment, ice and water shield in critical areas, and correct flashing installation around any planned features like skylights. A new, properly built structure is your best defense against common Candor issues like ice dam damage.

Great question. While the home itself is factory-built, the site preparation, foundation, and final assembly are crucial. Our team ensures the roof sections are sealed perfectly on-site, and we often recommend and install upgraded roofing materials with higher wind and impact ratings. We also pay special attention to integrating the roof with proper soffit, fascia, and gutter systems to manage snowmelt and prevent the ice dams that are common here.

For a new build, we have the perfect opportunity to get it right from the start. We recommend and install curb-mounted skylights (rather than deck-mounted) for a better seal, use extended flashing kits specific to our roofing material, and integrate them into a continuous ice and water shield layer. Proper roof pitch and positioning are also key—we'll design the layout to minimize snow accumulation around the skylight, a common cause of leaks in our area.
