What we write about, and why

Every post here answers a question Yonkers property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Yonkers, NY and southwest Westchester, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

  • Roof Replacement and Re-Slope in YonkersMost Yonkers addresses carry two roofs. There is a membrane deck behind the parapet that nobody sees, and a shingle or slate face along the street that everybody does.
  • Roof Leak Tracing and Repair in YonkersA leak on a low-slope deck almost never shows under the hole. Water travels between membrane and insulation, finds a fastener or a lap, and drops through a ceiling two rooms from where it entered.
  • Storm Damage Restoration in YonkersThe storm damage that costs real money here is seldom a covering peeled back. It is one outlet blinded by leaf litter and grit at the worst possible hour, with several inches of water standing over a top-floor ceiling and no second path out of the building.
  • Hail Damage on Low-Slope Roofs in YonkersHail is not why roofs fail in this part of New York, and any company that opens with hail should be treated carefully. Severe hail reaches the lower Hudson valley occasionally rather than annually, and most of what gets sold as hail damage in this county is simply age.
  • Wind and Uplift Damage in YonkersA low-slope roof comes apart from its outer edge inward. Wind turns the corner at your parapet, gets beneath an unsecured lip and inflates the membrane like a sail.
