Franklin Square is a hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, about 4.9 km from the village of Hempstead, served from ZIP 11010. The roofer who attends holds the Nassau County home-improvement licence the county requires, and the phone line is answered 24/7.
Franklin Square is a hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, a short distance from the village of Hempstead. Its homes are the mix of residential streets and larger lots that the hamlets of the town share, and its roof calls follow the same storm pattern as the rest of Nassau County.
A Franklin Square roof is checked from the outside first, then from the attic. The roofer looks at the covering, the flashing, the gutters and the eave, and follows any water route from the stain to the opening that let it in.
Most calls in Franklin Square are about a leak after a storm or a thaw. The first visit finds the source, the repair fixes the failed part and the written note records the work and the parts to watch.
Franklin Square is a hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, and it lies a short distance from the village of Hempstead on the Nassau County roads. The calls here are planned as house visits, with the garage and the shed included, and the roofer writes one note for the property.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
The visit covers the roof, the gutters, the flashing at each opening and the attic. The roofer works from the outside in, so the route of the water is seen clearly before the repair is chosen.
The note records each finding and the repair, and it states the parts to watch at the next check.
A storm claim is decided by the insurer and its adjuster under the policy. The roofer's role is to document the damage with dated photographs and a clear report, which the homeowner can share.
The New York Department of Financial Services advises homeowners to photograph the damage before cleaning up and to make only the repairs needed to stop further damage until the insurer inspects.
Look at the gutters and the eave from the ground after a storm, and check the ceilings for new stains. Note the date and place of any sign, and keep the photographs with the date.
Keep the attic access clear so the roofer can check the decking and the insulation on the first visit.
Garages and sheds on a hamlet property often have roofs of their own, with gutters that take the same weather as the house. The roofer checks them on the same visit, and the note records each roof separately so the homeowner knows which one needs work.
A shed roof that leaks can damage the stored items beneath it, and the roofer notes any damage to the contents as well as the roof.
A leak check starts from the ceiling stain and moves to the attic, where the wet wood shows the route of the water. The roofer then checks the roof at the highest point of that route, usually a flashing joint or a lifted shingle.
The joint is tested with water from a safe position before the repair, and the note records the test and the result.
The flashing at the chimney and each vent is checked from the roof and from the attic, and any joint that looks loose or dried is marked for testing. The test runs water around the joint from a safe position while the attic is watched.
A joint that passes the test is recorded as sound, and a joint that fails is repaired and tested again before the roofer leaves.
