Roof installation for additions, renovations, dormers, and new construction with correct underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and drip-edge detail.
Removal of the existing roof down to the deck, inspection of sheathing, replacement of damaged boards, and installation of a complete new roofing system.
Extra protection at eaves, valleys, skylights, and wall transitions where Larchmont homes are most vulnerable to wind-driven rain and ice backup.
Evaluation of attic airflow, soffit intake, ridge venting, and roof decking so the replacement performs as a system rather than just a new layer of shingles.
Larchmont’s Sound Shore setting means salt air near the Sound, wind-driven rain, mature shade trees, compact lots, older trim details, and freeze-thaw movement in winter can shorten the life of exterior materials when details are ignored. The right materials matter, but installation details matter even more: flashing, underlayment, drainage paths, ventilation, trim protection, and water discharge all affect how long the work will last.

Our team plans equipment placement, debris handling, and cleanup so the project is organized and respectful of neighbors.
