Roof replacement

In this ZIP code, 90% of homes were built before 1980, and the median home in town dates to 1952, so the inspection looks at decking and flashing as well as shingles. Roof replacement here starts with that inspection, then a written estimate that lists the scope and materials, then the work itself. Call to book the inspection and ask for the written estimate before any work starts.

One call also covers what roof replacement includes, photographed first and estimated in writing before any work.

Key takeaways

  • The nearest weather station records about 43 inches of rain a year, and most leaks start at flashing, pipe boots and valleys.
  • Winters here bring ice dams, with 74 freezing days and 26 inches of snow a year at the nearest station in NCEI normals.
  • About 33% of the 3,649,896 housing units the Census counts within the town limits are owner-occupied.

What shapes roof work here

Winter is the first reason to call. The 1991 to 2020 climate normals at the JFK airport station show 25.9 inches of snow and 74 days a year with a low at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and Richmond Hill sits in the Moderate ice-dam tier, so meltwater can back up under aging shingles. New York City as a whole averages 29.8 inches of snow and 67 freeze days.

Hail is the second season. Reports run March through September and peak in August, with 41 reports within 15 km since 2000. Roofers Hotline books the roof inspection and gives you a written estimate before any work starts. Call in late winter or before August arrives, and have your roof's age and any ceiling stains ready.

Questions

Roofing questions in Richmond Hill

Are the roofs in Richmond Hill older than in the rest of Queens?

The homes are old throughout. In your ZIP code, 90% were built before 1980, and the area figure is 80% against 84% for Queens County, with a median build year of 1952. Older houses often need more than a shingle swap, so call for an inspection and ask for a written estimate that lists the decking and flashing work.

When is hail most likely to damage a roof here?

August is the peak month, with 43 of the 108 hail reports within 25 km since 2000. The season runs March through September, and two-inch hail was last reported within 25 km on August 1, 2011. Book an inspection after any hail storm and ask for a written estimate before you decide on repairs.

Why do roofs here leak?

Flashing, pipe boots and valleys. About 43 inches of rain fall here each year at the nearest station. Water finds every cracked boot and open seam, so the repair starts by tracing the entry point.
