Frequently asked
Can you put a new roof over old shingles?
We don't recommend it. A full tear-off lets us inspect the decking and install the new roof correctly — which is why most manufacturer warranties require it.
How long does roof removal take?
Most Schenectady homes can be torn off in a single day, with the new roof started immediately after.
