PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM THE TOP DOWN

THE EMPIRE ROOFING PROCESS

  01  ROOF ASSESMENT

Inspecting for Damage

Over time, shingles wear down, losing their ability to shed water and reflect heat. As the top layer deteriorates, your home becomes more vulnerable to leaks, trapped heat, and costly structural damage. A proper assessment helps determine if it’s time for a full replacement.

  02  SHINGLE REMOVAL

Full Roof Tear-Off

We carefully remove all existing shingles and underlayment to expose the structural base of your roof. This clean removal ensures we’re not building over hidden issues and allows us to begin with a clean, reliable foundation.

  03 Plywood Inspection

Reinforcing the Structure

Once stripped, the roof deck is fully inspected for damage, soft spots, or signs of rot. Any compromised plywood is replaced to ensure a solid, secure surface that can support the entire roofing system for decades to come.

  04 Underlayment & Ice/Water Shield

Protection Below the Surface

A waterproof barrier is installed over the plywood to guard against moisture, ice, and wind-driven rain. We add an extra layer of ice and water shield in vulnerable areas like valleys and edges to prevent leaks before they start.

  05 Flashing Installation

Reinforcing Key Points

New metal flashing is installed around chimneys, vent pipes, skylights, and other key areas, especially prone to leaks if not properly sealed. Adding new flashing provides critical protection and helps prevent water intrusion into your home.

  06 Shingle Installation

Completing the Roof System

New premium architectural shingles are layered in precision rows, forming a weather-resistant surface built to withstand New York’s harshest conditions. Backed by a lifetime warranty, this final step protects your home for decades to come.

Look for missing shingles, sagging, leaks, or signs of water damage inside your attic. If your roof is over 15–20 years old, a full replacement may be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.

Architectural asphalt shingles are a popular choice for their durability and wind resistance. They're built to handle snow, heavy rain, and temperature swings common in the Northeast.

Most roofing projects are completed in a single day. A second day is only needed for exceptionally large or complex roofs.
