Technical Briefing
How do you account for Lake Effect Snow loads?
We calculate potential snow accumulation weight and reinforce critical load-bearing trusses before installing ice and water shields that extend significantly higher than standard code dictates.
Are you familiar with Historic District requirements?
Yes. We routinely navigate the preservation board approvals in Allentown and Elmwood, sourcing period-appropriate materials that meet modern structural standards.
What is the expected timeline for a full tear-off?
For a standard Buffalo residential footprint, tear-off and dry-in typically occurs within 48 hours, weather permitting. We never leave a roof exposed overnight.
Do you address attic ventilation?
Proper ventilation is mandatory. We install baffled ridge vents and clear soffit intake to prevent the temperature differentials that cause destructive ice damming.
How are warranties handled?
We provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee alongside the manufacturer's material warranty. All documentation is provided in a bound folio upon completion.
