Roof Replacement FAQs

1. How do I know if my roof needs replacement in New York or New England's climate? 

New York and New England's harsh weather conditions can cause your roof to break down faster due to exposure to wind and weather. Look for warning signs like missing or damaged shingles, leaks, water stains on ceilings, or moss and algae growth. If your roof is over 20 years old, it’s a good idea to schedule a roof inspection—especially after winter storms. You can also schedule a free roof exam with our local ProEdge experts and receive an estimate the same day. 

2. What roofing materials work best for New York or New England weather? 

​Asphalt shingles remain the most popular choice due to their durability and cost-effectiveness. Metal roofs are also a great option for their resistance to snow, ice, and wind. Both materials perform well in the region’s fluctuating weather. ProEdge offers both asphalt shingles and Sherwin-Williams coated metal roofing to ensure long-lasting beauty and protection.
