New Rochelle Premium Roofing provides professional roof inspections in New Rochelle, NY for residential and commercial properties across Westchester County. Most inspection reports give a roof one number. Ours gives three, because the covering, the flashing metal and the fasteners wear out at different rates, and a single figure hides which one is about to cost you money.
The covering gets dated from material, exposure and condition: slate by fracture count and delamination, clay tile by cracking and spalling at the nose, asphalt by granule loss, mat exposure and thermal cracking across the field. That number is frequently the longest of the three on an older house, and it surprises owners who have already been told by somebody that the roof is finished. Being told a roof is finished is not the same thing.
The metal gets dated separately and in detail. We look at valley linings for pinholing and open seams, at step and counterflashing for whether it is two pieces of formed metal or one bead of sealant, at chimney aprons, at drip edge and at the linings of any built-in gutter. The National Park Service is blunt about this: gutters, valleys and flashings are more likely to have failed than the slate itself. We quote that work separately.
The fasteners get their own read. Corroded ferrous nails let slates slip in clusters while the stone stays perfectly sound, and that pattern tells you a whole elevation is on borrowed time even though nothing looks wrong from the driveway. We record which slopes are slipping, roughly how fast, and what a staged re-hang would cost. A staged re-hang over three seasons often beats one panicked replacement.
Then we go inside. Attic sheathing gets a moisture meter, nail shanks get checked for frost rust, and insulation is examined for the staining that marks a long, slow leak nobody noticed. A surprising share of New Rochelle calls turn out to be condensation from warm air leaking up through a plaster ceiling, not water coming down through the roof at all. Fixing the wrong problem is expensive and very common.
You receive dated photographs of every slope and every metal detail, the three remaining-life numbers, and a plain recommendation, which is frequently to do nothing this year. Pre-purchase inspections get the same document, written so that a buyer's attorney and a home inspector can both read it without needing anything translated. Nobody has to take our word for a conclusion they can see for themselves in the dated photographs.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — lead-coated copper step and pan flashing, twenty-ounce cold-rolled copper valley linings, slate rippers and copper bib repairs, stainless slate hooks set at the head lap, semi-weathering gray and unfading green roofing slate, terne-coated stainless bay-roof pans — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Rochelle and nearby communities including Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Pelham, Pelham Manor.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with lead-coated copper step and pan flashing, twenty-ounce cold-rolled copper valley linings, slate rippers and copper bib repairs, stainless slate hooks set at the head lap, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Rochelle job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Westchester County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
