roofing in Levittown

Levittown is a hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, built as a post-war Levitt and Sons subdivision from the late 1940s, about 8.8 km from the village of Hempstead. Many of its Cape Cod and ranch roofs date from that build-out. It is served from ZIP 11756, and the roofer who attends holds the Nassau County home-improvement licence the county requires.

Levittown is a hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, built as a post-war subdivision by Levitt and Sons from the late 1940s. Its houses were laid out in one build-out, and many of its Cape Cod and ranch roofs date from that time. The age of those roofs shapes almost every call in the hamlet.

A Levittown roof is inspected from the outside first, then from the attic, with the decking checked for age and moisture as well as for storm damage. Cape Cod roofs are checked at the dormers and valleys, and ranch roofs are checked along the long runs and at the vent and skylight joints.

Levittown calls are often a leak that has been patched more than once, a roof that has taken several storms without a record, or a homeowner who wants a replacement planned from the decking up. Each is started with an inspection and a written note, so the homeowner has the age and the condition of the roof in one place.

Levittown is a hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, and its roofs carry the post-war build-out history that the Levitt and Sons subdivision began in the late 1940s. The first question on many Levittown calls is the age of the decking, and the roofer checks it before any scope is written.

    Why does the age of a Levittown roof change the repair?

    Many Levittown roofs date from the post-war build-out, so the decking and the underlayment have had decades to dry, soften and split. A new covering laid over soft boards will not last, so the roofer checks the decking before the scope is written.

    The flashing is also checked. Flashing that has been sealed and resealed over the years is often the first place a leak starts, and the note records each joint.

    How are the Cape Cod and ranch roofs different to check?

    A Cape Cod roof has dormers and valleys, where water collects and the junctions are most likely to leak. The roofer checks each dormer junction and valley, and the attic corners near the gable ends.

    A ranch roof has long runs, and a leak can travel a long way along the decking. The roofer checks the run from a safe position, and follows the water from the attic to its highest point.

    What should a Levittown homeowner keep on file?

    Keep the roofer's dated report, the photographs of the decking and the receipts for each repair. The record is useful for an insurance question, a sale and the next repair.

    The Nassau County home-improvement licence applies to the business doing the work, and the homeowner can check it with the county before the contract is signed.

    Which Levittown roof forms are most common, and what does that mean for the repair?

    Many of the roofs in Levittown are Cape Cod or ranch forms from the build-out. The Cape roofs have dormers and valleys where water collects, and the ranch roofs have long runs and joints at the vents and skylights. The roofer checks the points that the form makes most vulnerable.

    The age of those roofs is part of every scope. The decking, the underlayment and the flashing are checked, and any soft boards are included in the scope with their location.

    What should a Levittown homeowner do before a storm season?

    Before the storm season, the roofer checks the flashing, the dormers and the valleys on a Cape roof, and the long runs and vent joints on a ranch roof. The attic is checked for the damp that the age of the roof can allow.

    The note sets out the parts to watch after each storm, so the homeowner knows where to look without waiting for a leak.

    The crew removes the ice from the eave from a safe position, repairs the shingles and underlayment where water had backed up, and checks the attic for the warm air and frost that feed the dam.
    What to expect
    The leak stops after the ice is cleared. The attic note lists the air sealing and insulation changes the homeowner can plan before the next winter.

    A typical Cape Cod dormer leak

    What homeowners notice
    A Cape Cod homeowner sees a stain beside a dormer that appears in every heavy rain. The roof has been patched several times over the years.
    What we do
    The roofer checks the attic beside the dormer, finds the water route to the dormer junction, lifts the edge of an old patch to check the decking beneath and replaces the soft section and the junction flashing.
    What to expect
    The stain stops appearing in the next heavy rain. The note records the patch history and the decking that was replaced, so the next roofer can see the work.
