Should I Stay Home During A Roof Replacement?
Home is our safest zone. The critical part of this safest zone is the roof,
Somers' housing variety creates genuinely different replacement scenarios across the town. Former lake bungalows and seasonal cottages in Shenorock, Lincolndale, and Lake Purdys — many converted to year-round use in the postwar decades — have simpler original construction that may not have been designed for the demands of northern Westchester winters, and their roofing systems often have ventilation and underlayment specifications that were adequate for seasonal use but not year-round habitation. Postwar colonials, ranches, and split-levels elsewhere in the town are at their typical second or third replacement cycle. Newer large-lot colonials and craftsman-style homes on the two- and three-acre parcels that characterize much of Somers' recent residential development have more complex rooflines under heavier canopy coverage.
Meridian Contracting has installed and replaced roofs throughout Somers and northern Westchester for more than 25 years.
On former lake bungalows and cottages converted to year-round use, we assess whether the original construction and ventilation is adequate for the year-round demands now placed on it — and we give honest recommendations when a replacement needs to address underlying system deficiencies, not just the shingles.
