Free Roof Inspection in Hempstead - R&M Roofers LLC
Gets Your Home Protected Fast
When Maria from Garden City South called us last month after spotting water stains on her ceiling, she thought her roof was done for. Turns out, it was just a loose flashing that we fixed in 20 minutes during our free inspection. That’s the thing about roofs in Hempstead – what looks like a disaster is usually something simple if you catch it early.
We’ve been doing free roof inspections in Hempstead for over 15 years, and honestly? Most homeowners wait way too long to check their roofs. Between the salt air coming off Jones Beach and those brutal nor’easters we get every winter, Long Island roofs take a real beating. But here’s what we’ve learned – catching problems early during a free inspection saves homeowners thousands.
Why Your Hempstead Home Needs Regular Free Roof Inspections
Your roof is getting hammered year-round here on Long Island. Summer heat makes shingles expand and contract, fall brings leaves that clog gutters, winter dumps snow loads that test every joint and seam, and spring rains find every tiny crack that opened up over the cold months.
We do free roof inspections because we know most folks can’t tell the difference between normal wear and something that’s about to cause real damage. Last week alone, we caught three different problems during free inspections in Uniondale and West Hempstead that would’ve cost homeowners $8,000+ if they’d waited another year.
During our free roof inspection, we climb up there so you don’t have to. We check every shingle, examine flashing around chimneys and vents, test gutters and downspouts, and look for signs of damage you can’t see from the ground. Then we give you a straight answer about what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Emergency Roof Repair When Hempstead Weather Strikes
When that big storm hit in February, our phones didn’t stop ringing. Homeowners from Levittown to Garden City were dealing with emergency roof repairs from wind damage and ice dams. Here’s what we learned during those crazy two weeks – having a roofer you trust before the emergency hits makes all the difference.
Emergency roof repair in Hempstead means we show up fast, assess the damage, and get temporary protection in place first. Then we handle the insurance paperwork while planning the permanent fix. We keep emergency tarps and materials ready because storms don’t wait for business hours.
The most common emergency roof repairs we see here? Wind lifting shingles along the edges (especially on those raised ranches popular in East Garden City), ice dams backing up water under shingles, and tree branches punching holes during storms. We’ve gotten pretty good at emergency roof repair over the years because Hempstead weather doesn’t mess around.
Professional Roof Replacement for Long Island Homes
When it’s time for full roof replacement, Hempstead homeowners need a contractor who understands local building codes and weather patterns. We’ve replaced hundreds of roofs from Franklin Square to Baldwin, and every project teaches us something new about what works best in our climate.
Roof replacement timing matters here. Spring and fall are ideal because the weather’s stable and materials perform better during installation. Summer roof replacement is tough because asphalt shingles get super hot, and winter replacement comes with obvious challenges from weather delays.
During roof replacement, we handle all permits with the Town of Hempstead, coordinate inspections, and make sure your new roof meets current energy codes. Most homeowners are surprised how much roof replacement technology has improved – better underlayment, improved ventilation systems, and shingles that actually resist algae growth in our humid climate.
Storm Damage Repair That Gets Insurance Claims Right
Storm damage repair is tricky because insurance companies have gotten really picky about what they’ll cover. We’ve learned to document everything during our inspections and work directly with adjusters to make sure homeowners get fair settlements.
The key to successful storm damage repair claims? Getting a professional assessment immediately after the storm. We take detailed photos, measure damaged areas, and provide documentation that insurance companies actually accept. Too many Hempstead homeowners try to handle claims themselves and end up getting lowball settlements.
Recent storms taught us that storm damage repair often involves more than just shingles. High winds can damage gutters, siding, and even structural elements. We check everything during our assessment because insurance companies won’t pay for damage they don’t know exists.
Roof Maintenance Programs That Actually Prevent Problems
Smart homeowners in Garden City and Uniondale have figured out that roof maintenance costs way less than roof replacement. Our maintenance programs catch small issues before they become expensive problems.
Roof maintenance here means cleaning gutters twice a year (those oak trees drop leaves constantly), checking and resealing flashing, replacing missing or damaged shingles, and making sure ventilation systems work properly. We also trim back tree branches that scrape against shingles during windy days.
The best part about regular roof maintenance? We keep detailed records of everything we do, which helps with warranty claims and insurance issues down the road. Plus, we spot developing problems early when they’re cheap to fix instead of expensive to replace.
Seamless Gutter Installation and Maintenance
Gutters get forgotten until they’re overflowing or pulling away from the house. Here in Hempstead, with all our mature trees and heavy rainfall, gutter installation and maintenance is crucial for protecting your roof and foundation.
We install seamless gutters because they handle Long Island weather better than sectional gutters. Fewer joints mean fewer places for leaks to develop, and they look cleaner on these colonial and ranch homes that dominate the area.
Proper gutter installation includes the right slope for drainage, adequate downspouts for your roof size, and guards to keep out leaves and debris. We’ve seen too many water damage issues that started with clogged or poorly installed gutters.
Residential Roofing Solutions for Every Hempstead Home Style
Whether you’ve got a cape cod in West Hempstead or a colonial in Garden City South, we understand how different roof styles handle weather differently. Residential roofing isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially here where homes range from 1940s ranches to modern constructions.
Steep roofs shed water and snow better but can be trickier for maintenance access. Low-slope roofs are easier to work on but need different drainage solutions. Hip roofs handle wind better than gable roofs but have more complex flashing details.
Our residential roofing approach starts with understanding your specific home style, then recommending materials and techniques that work best for your situation and budget. Every house on Long Island has its own personality, and your roof solution should match.
Commercial Roofing Services for Local Businesses
Local businesses from auto shops on Hempstead Turnpike to office buildings in Garden City trust us with their commercial roofing needs. Commercial roofs work harder than residential roofs and need different approaches.
Commercial roofing means understanding HVAC loads, foot traffic from maintenance workers, and business schedules that can’t handle long disruptions. We plan commercial roofing projects around your operations so you don’t lose revenue.
Flat commercial roofs are common here, and they need specialized drainage, membrane systems, and regular maintenance to prevent ponding water issues. We work with building owners to develop maintenance schedules that prevent expensive emergency repairs.
