Roof repair

A drip after a summer storm, a lifted shingle or damp insulation in the attic is often what people notice first. NOAA's storm records show hail up to 1.5 inches in Queens in 2021, and the hail season runs March through September, so a storm can leave damage you cannot see from the ground. Roof repair here begins with an inspection, then a written estimate for the specific fix, then the repair. After the next hard storm, check your ceilings and call to book an inspection.

Curling shingles, stains on an upstairs ceiling and granules in the gutters are usually the first signs. The median home here dates to 1952, and in this ZIP code 94.3% of houses were built before 1980, so many roofs have been patched more than once. Roof replacement here starts with an inspection of the deck and flashing, then a written estimate listing materials and scope, then the work. If repairs keep adding up, call and ask whether replacement makes more sense for your roof.

The same number also books roof replacement for this metro, and the inspection is photographed before the estimate is written.

Questions

Roofing questions in Forest Hills

Is my Forest Hills roof likely to be near the end of its life?

It may be. The median home here was built in 1952, and 94.3% of houses in the ZIP code were built before 1980, by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023. Homes that old often have roofs that were replaced once or twice already. Call for a roof inspection and a written estimate, so you know whether repair or replacement fits your roof.

How much has hail hit the area?

NOAA's storm records show 46 hail reports within 15 km of town from 2000 to 2024, which is a Moderate band. August alone accounts for 45 of the 116 reports within 25 km. Hail can loosen shingles without a visible leak, so after a summer storm call to book a roof inspection.

Do ice dams form on roofs here?

Yes, on poorly insulated roofs. The nearest station logs 62 freezing days and 30 inches of snow in a normal year. Meltwater refreezes at the eaves unless the attic is sealed.
