Frequently Asked Questions
With all these severe storms, what actually makes a roof 'storm-proof'?
True storm resilience starts at the deck. We use ring-shank nails every 6 inches into the rafters, not staples. Then a full perimeter of ice and water shield seals the edges, followed by FORTIFIED-rated synthetic underlayment. The shingles are UL 2218 Class 4 rated for hail. It’s a sealed system that prevents wind-driven rain uplift, which is how most leaks start.
My homeowner's insurance premium just spiked again. Can a new roof really lower my bill?
Yes. Insurers now heavily discount policies for homes with FORTIFIED Roof certifications, which we install. This system uses enhanced deck attachment, sealed roof edges, and impact-resistant shingles to reduce storm claim risk. Demonstrating this reduced risk to your insurer can directly counter the 18% average annual premium increases many are seeing.
I was just thinking about you... what's your favorite way to unwind?
just thought of you out of nowhere 😌 what’s your go-to way to chill after a long day?
What's a small upgrade that makes a big difference in roof longevity?
Installing a proper drip edge metal before the shingles go on. It directs water into the gutters and prevents it from wicking back under the shingles and rotting the fascia board. Most old roofs skip it or install it incorrectly over the underlayment. We install it under the underlayment at the eaves for a true water-shedding edge.
My Canisteo Village Center home was built in 1941. Why is my roof failing now?
Your architectural shingles are likely installed over original 1x6 pine plank decking. This decking expands and contracts with our seasonal humidity swings. The 1x6 pine plank decking underneath moves seasonally with humidity, stressing the shingle seals. Combined with 85 years of UV exposure, this causes the asphalt to become brittle and granule loss to accelerate, compromising the water-shedding surface.
My roof is actively leaking during a thunderstorm. How fast can a crew get here?
For an active leak, we dispatch a tarping crew immediately. From the Canisteo Fire Department staging area, the team takes NY-36 directly into your neighborhood. Given typical May-August storm traffic and road conditions, expect a crew on-site within 45 to 60 minutes to perform emergency water diversion and secure the structure from further interior damage.
