Why Rockland sits in the upper half
- Metro labor and insurance. Roofing crews here carry New York workers' compensation and liability at metro rates.
- Steep, cut-up roofs. Colonials with 8/12 and 10/12 pitches, dormers and valleys in New City, Pearl River and Suffern; Victorian rooflines in Nyack.
- Two-layer tear-offs on houses that were re-roofed over the original shingles in the 1980s or 1990s.
- Disposal fees at Rockland's transfer stations are higher than the national average.
- Permits and inspections in most villages for full replacements.
Reading a roofing quote
A complete Rockland replacement quote names: tear-off of all layers; decking replacement price per sheet (and how many sheets, if any, are included); ice-and-water shield locations (eaves, valleys, penetrations); underlayment type; drip edge; new flashing at every chimney, wall and skylight (not "reuse existing"); pipe boots and vents; ridge vent and soffit intake; the shingle brand, line, color and warranty; permit; cleanup with a magnetic nail sweep; and the workmanship warranty in years. For repairs: what is being replaced, with what, and the warranty on that work. Three red flags: a price far below the others, pressure to sign the day of the storm, and a company with no Rockland County license number on the paperwork.
Insurance, financing and timing
Storm damage claims: photograph first, tarp second, adjuster third, and you may use any licensed roofer. Age-related replacements are not insurance jobs. Roofers are busiest from late spring to early winter; a replacement booked for March or April often gets a better price than one in October. Repairs can be done year-round on dry days.
Questions
What is the most common roof repair in Rockland?
Flashing and pipe-boot leaks, followed by wind-lifted shingles after storms. Both are a few hundred to about $1,800 if caught before the decking rots.
How long should a new asphalt roof last here?
Architectural shingles, 25 to 30 years with adequate attic ventilation; 3-tab, 15 to 20. Poor ventilation and ice dams shorten both.
Is a free roof inspection a sales pitch?
Often, but not always. Judge by whether the roofer shows you photos of what they found and quotes a repair when a repair is what you need.
