# Hempstead Roofing

> Long Island roofs take a beating from nor'easters, hurricane remnants and wind. Superstorm Sandy in October 2012 damaged or destroyed 95,534 buildings across Nassau and Suffolk counties, according to FEMA figures. The Hempstead area is built out with post-war cape and ranch houses in Levittown and larger village houses in Garden City and Rockville Centre. Nassau County licenses home-improvement businesses, roofing included, through its Office of Consumer Affairs, so ask the local roofer for the county licence before any work starts.We help with repairs and replacements. Your insurer and your policy decide what is covered. Phones are answered 24/7.

## Pricing and answers

- [Price guide](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/pricing/): typical price ranges for every service
- [FAQ](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/faq/)
- [What Moves the Cost of a Roof Replacement in Hempstead](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/guides/roof-replacement-cost-hempstead/): No honest price list exists for a roof replacement in Hempstead, because two roofs of the same size can need very different work. This guide explains what moves a quote: the size and pitch of the roof, the covering chosen, the state of the decking, how many layers are on the roof, the flashing and ventilation work and the county licence. The price is confirmed on site after the inspection and before any work begins.
- [What a Nor'easter Leaves on a Hempstead Roof](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/guides/nor-easter-roof-damage-long-island/): A nor'easter drives wind and rain from a direction most roofs are not built to face head-on, and the damage it leaves is often hidden. Lifted shingles, cracked or displaced flashing, torn seals at vents and gutters pulled from the fascia are the usual signs. Some signs need a call straight away because water is coming in, and others can wait for a scheduled inspection.
- [Photograph Storm Damage Before You Clean Up](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/guides/storm-damage-photos-before-cleanup/): The New York Department of Financial Services advice from the Sandy response is to photograph or record damage before cleaning up, and to make only the repairs needed to stop further damage until the insurer inspects. The photographs, the dated notes and the temporary cover are the evidence an insurer and a roofer will use, and they are easy to lose once the debris is removed.
- [Does a Roofer in Hempstead Need a Licence?](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/guides/nassau-county-roofing-licence/): Yes. Nassau County's Office of Consumer Affairs licenses home-improvement businesses, and roofing contractors are included. The county's licensing packet says that a business may not operate or advertise until its licence is in hand. New York State does not issue a general roofing licence, so the county licence is the one that matters for a Nassau roof.
- [Ice Dams on Hempstead Roofs: How They Form and How to Stop Them](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/guides/ice-dams-long-island-roofs/): An ice dam is a ridge of ice at the eave that holds back melting snow, so water backs up under the shingles and into the house. It forms when heat from the house melts the snow on a warm roof and the water refreezes at the cold edge. Winter ice dams are a named roof risk for Long Island, and the fix lies mostly in the attic: air sealing, insulation and ventilation.
- [Cape and Ranch Roofs in Levittown: What the Age Means for the Repair](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/guides/levittown-cape-and-ranch-roofs/): Levittown was built by Levitt and Sons as a post-war subdivision from the late 1940s, and many of its Cape Cod and ranch roofs date from that build-out. The age of those roofs changes the repair: the decking, the underlayment and the flashing have had decades to dry, soften and split, and the roof forms have their own leak points at the dormers, the valleys and the long runs.
- [How a Storm Roof Claim Works in New York](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/guides/roof-insurance-claims-new-york/): A storm roof claim is decided by the homeowner's insurer under the policy. A standard policy generally covers sudden storm damage and generally excludes wear, lack of maintenance and gradual damage. The homeowner keeps the evidence, the insurer decides, and if a claim is denied the state insurance regulator is the complaint route. This guide describes the general pattern and does not state deadlines, limits or coverage amounts.
- [Repair or Replace a Roof After a Storm in Hempstead](https://hempsteadroofing.shop/guides/repair-or-replace-roof-after-storm/): The answer depends on the decking, the covering and the age of the roof. A repair suits a roof with sound decking and a small area of failed covering or flashing. A replacement suits a roof with soft decking across a broad area, brittle covering over most of its slopes or repeated leaks from different places. The inspection report, with photographs and a note of the age, is the basis for the decision.
