Shingle Repair & Replacement

Shingle Repair & Replacement Hempstead - R&M ROOFERS LLC

After that windstorm two weeks ago, half the houses on Maple Street in East Meadow lost shingles. Mr. Peterson called us when he found pieces of his roof in the neighbor’s yard and noticed bare spots where shingles used to be. What looked like a disaster from the ground turned out to be a straightforward shingle replacement job that we completed in one afternoon.

Shingle repair & replacement in Hempstead keeps R&M ROOFERS LLC busy year-round. Between storms, aging roofs, and normal wear from our coastal weather, shingles need attention more often than most homeowners expect. After 15 years of fixing and replacing shingles throughout Nassau County, we know exactly what works in our climate and which problems need immediate attention.

Common Shingle Problems on Long Island

Living near the ocean creates unique challenges for roof shingles. Salt air, high winds, and rapid weather changes affect shingles differently than they would in inland areas. The shingle problems we see most often in Hempstead include both sudden damage and gradual deterioration.

Wind Damage: Strong winds from Atlantic storms lift shingle edges and can tear entire sections loose. Once wind gets under shingles, it can lift large areas very quickly. This happens especially on older roofs where shingle sealant has dried out over time.

Granule Loss: The small rock granules on asphalt shingles protect them from UV damage. Our intense summer sun combined with salt air makes granules wash off faster than normal. Shingles that lose too many granules start failing within a few years.

Cracking and Splitting: Temperature swings from hot summer days to cool nights cause shingles to expand and contract. Over time, this thermal stress creates cracks that let water penetrate the shingle material.

Algae and Moss Growth: High humidity and frequent rain in coastal areas promote algae growth on shingles. While this looks bad, the real problem is moss that can lift shingle edges and create leaks.

Emergency Shingle Repair

When storms damage shingles or strong winds tear them loose, emergency repair prevents water from entering your house and causing interior damage. R&M ROOFERS LLC provides emergency shingle repair throughout Hempstead and Nassau County when weather threatens exposed roof areas.

Our emergency shingle services include:

Same-day temporary repairs to stop immediate water infiltration

Tarp installation over large areas of missing shingles

Emergency shingle replacement using matching materials when possible

Securing loose shingles before they cause additional damage

Water damage prevention for interior spaces

We respond to emergency shingle calls 24/7 during and after major storms. Our trucks carry common shingle types and emergency repair materials so we can protect your home immediately.

Professional Shingle Assessment

Proper shingle repair & replacement starts with accurate assessment of what needs to be done. Many shingle problems aren’t obvious from the ground, and homeowners often can’t tell whether they need repairs or complete replacement.

Our shingle assessment includes:

Complete roof inspection from multiple angles and access points

Documentation of damaged, loose, or missing shingles

Evaluation of remaining shingle life expectancy

Interior inspection for signs of water infiltration

Written assessment with repair recommendations and cost estimates

We use digital cameras to document shingle conditions and provide photos that help homeowners understand what needs attention. This documentation also helps with insurance claims when storm damage is involved.

Matching Existing Shingles

One challenge with shingle replacement is finding materials that match your existing roof. Shingle manufacturers change colors and styles regularly, so exact matches for older roofs can be difficult to locate. This is especially true for homes in established neighborhoods like Garden City Park and Baldwin.

Our shingle matching process includes:

Identification of original shingle manufacturer and product line

Color and style matching using manufacturer databases

Special ordering of discontinued products when available

Strategic placement techniques to minimize visible differences

Complete roof replacement recommendations when matching isn’t possible

We maintain relationships with multiple shingle suppliers and often locate discontinued colors that other contractors can’t find. When exact matches aren’t available, we help homeowners choose the best available options.

Partial Shingle Replacement

When only part of your roof needs new shingles, partial replacement can save money while solving specific problems. This approach works well for storm damage, isolated wear areas, or sections affected by tree damage.

Partial replacement considerations include:

Matching new shingles to existing materials as closely as possible

Strategic placement to minimize appearance differences

Integration with existing roof systems and flashing

Warranty coverage for both new and existing materials

Future replacement planning for remaining roof areas

We help homeowners decide whether partial replacement makes sense or if complete roof replacement would be more cost-effective in the long run.

Complete Roof Replacement

When shingles are extensively damaged or nearing the end of thier useful life, complete replacement provides the best long-term value. This is especially true for roofs over 15-20 years old where multiple problem areas need attention.

Complete replacement benefits include:

Uniform appearance across the entire roof

Full warranty coverage on all materials and workmanship

Opportunity to upgrade to better shingle materials

Integration with updated roof ventilation and accessories

Maximum lifespan before future replacement needs

We help homeowners evaluate whether repair or replacement makes more sense based on roof age, extent of problems, and long-term budget considerations.

Shingle Material Options

Modern shingle materials offer better performance and longevity than older products. When replacing shingles in our coastal environment, material selection affects how long your roof will last and how well it will handle weather conditions.

Popular shingle options include:

Architectural Shingles: These dimensional shingles provide better wind resistance and longer warranties than basic three-tab shingles. They’re the most popular choice for residential replacement projects.

Impact-Resistant Shingles: Class 4 impact-resistant shingles handle hail damage better and often qualify for insurance discounts. They cost more initially but can save money on premiums and future repairs.

Luxury Shingles: Premium products like designer shingles and synthetic slate provide maximum durability and appearance for homeowners who want the best available materials.

Energy-Efficient Shingles: Cool roof shingles reflect more heat and can reduce cooling costs during summer months. These work especially well on south-facing roof sections.

Storm Damage Assessment

After major storms, many homeowners need professional assessment to determine whether they have insurance claims for shingle damage. Some storm damage isn’t obvious immediately and requires expert evaluation.

Storm damage we document includes:

Hail impact marks and granule loss patterns

Wind damage with lifted or missing shingles

Debris impact damage from fallen branches or flying objects

Secondary damage from compromised roof areas

Comparison documentation showing before and after conditions

We work with insurance adjusters to document damage properly and provide repair estimates that cover all necessary work. Our experience with storm damage claims helps homeowners get fair settlements.

Insurance Claim Assistance

Shingle repair & replacement is often covered by homeowners insurance when damage results from storms, hail, or other covered events. R&M ROOFERS LLC helps homeowners navigate the insurance claim process for maximum coverage.

Our insurance assistance includes:

Detailed damage documentation with photographs

Written repair estimates with material specifications

Direct communication with insurance adjusters

Supplemental damage identification when initial estimates are inadequate

Coordinated scheduling with insurance company requirements

Ventilation improvements include:

Vapor barrier assessment and improvement

Insulation evaluation for energy efficiency

Good ventilation prevents ice dams, reduces cooling costs, and extends shingle life by keeping attic temperatures more stable.

Proper material specifications for wind resistance

Correct installation methods for our climate zone

Integration with existing structural systems
