You get a roof that actually handles what Westchester County throws at it. Heavy snow loads that stress other roofs. Ice dams that cause thousands in water damage. Summer storms with 60+ mph winds.
Your roof stands strong while neighbors deal with emergency repairs and insurance claims. No more worrying every time the weather forecast shows another nor’easter heading our way. No more buckets catching drips or scrambling to find tarps at Home Depot.
Your home stays dry, your heating bills stay reasonable, and you sleep better knowing your roof was built by someone who understands what North Salem’s four seasons really do to roofing systems.
Certified Contracting Services Inc has been serving North Salem and Westchester County homeowners who need roofing that actually works in our climate. We’ve repaired the damage when roofs aren’t built right for this area.
The freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior installations. The heavy April rains that find every weak spot in flashing. The summer humidity that accelerates deterioration when contractors use the wrong materials or skip proper ventilation.
We handle residential roofing, roof inspection services, and new construction with the understanding that your roof needs to perform through all four seasons. Not just look good on installation day.
We start with a comprehensive roof inspection of your current condition. Not a quick walk-around, but a real assessment of what’s working, what’s failing, and what problems are developing that you can’t see from your driveway.
You get a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your home. If strategic repairs make sense, we’ll tell you exactly what and why. If replacement is the better investment, we’ll show you the math.
The work gets scheduled around your life, not ours. We show up when we say we will, complete the job properly, and clean up completely. You get documentation of everything we did and know exactly what warranty coverage protects your investment.

Our residential roofing services cover everything from emergency storm repairs to complete roof replacement. We handle asphalt shingles rated for our wind loads, metal roofing that sheds snow effectively, and specialty materials that work in Westchester County’s challenging climate.
Roofing for new construction gets built right from the start. Proper ice dam protection for North Salem’s freeze-thaw cycles. Ventilation systems that prevent moisture buildup during our humid summers. Materials and installation methods that handle the 40+ inches of snow we get most winters.
North Salem’s mix of historic properties and newer developments means we work with different architectural requirements and building codes. Your roofing solution fits your specific home, exposure, and budget – not some cookie-cutter approach that works everywhere except here.
Look for missing or damaged shingles, especially after winter storms. Check your attic for water stains, daylight coming through the roof deck, or ice buildup along the edges during winter months.
In North Salem’s climate, asphalt shingle roofs typically show significant wear around the 15-20 year mark depending on installation quality and exposure. If you’re getting multiple leaks, seeing granules washing off shingles into your gutters, or noticing curled or cracked shingles, replacement often makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during our roof inspection services. Sometimes a few strategic repairs and improved ventilation buy you several more years. Other times, continuing to patch an aging roof just delays the inevitable while costing more money and risking interior damage.
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for high wind resistance and impact perform well in North Salem. Look for shingles rated for 110+ mph winds and Class 4 impact resistance – these often qualify for insurance discounts too.
Metal roofing excels in our climate because it sheds snow and ice effectively, handles temperature swings without cracking, and reflects summer heat to reduce cooling costs. Standing seam metal roofing is particularly effective for North Salem’s weather patterns.
The key is proper installation with adequate ventilation and ice dam protection. Even premium materials fail if they’re not installed correctly for our specific freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads. We recommend materials based on your home’s exposure, roof pitch, and long-term budget considerations.
Most residential roof replacements in North Salem take 2-4 days depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. A typical 2,000 square foot home usually takes 2-3 days with our crew. Larger homes or complex rooflines with multiple dormers and chimneys take longer.
We don’t start jobs we can’t finish properly, so timing depends on having several consecutive days of suitable weather. Spring and fall are typically ideal for roofing work here – summer heat can be challenging for workers and materials, while winter conditions make safe installation nearly impossible.
We schedule with North Salem’s weather patterns in mind and keep you informed if conditions require adjusting the timeline. Your home stays protected during the work with tarps and temporary coverings as needed. We never leave a roof opened up overnight.
Yes, we respond to emergency situations like storm damage, fallen trees, or sudden leaks that threaten your home’s interior. Emergency repairs focus on stopping immediate water intrusion while planning proper permanent solutions.
North Salem gets hit with severe thunderstorms, ice storms, and heavy wet snow that can cause sudden roof failure. We prioritize calls where water is actively entering the home, structural damage poses safety risks, or ice dams are causing significant interior damage.
Emergency repairs are temporary fixes to protect your property until permanent work can be completed safely. Once the immediate crisis is handled, we’ll assess what permanent repairs or replacement work is needed to prevent future problems and ensure your roof performs properly long-term.
We examine all roofing materials, flashing around chimneys and vents, gutters and downspouts, and attic ventilation systems. The inspection covers both exterior condition and interior signs of moisture intrusion or structural issues.
Our roof inspection services include checking for ice dam damage, proper ventilation for North Salem’s humidity levels, and signs of wind damage from storms. We also assess gutter systems since proper drainage is crucial for preventing ice dam formation.
You get a written report with photos explaining what we found, which issues need immediate attention, and what can be planned for future work. We explain the difference between normal aging and problems that could lead to expensive damage if ignored.
Roof repairs typically range from $500-$2,500 depending on the extent of damage and materials needed. Emergency storm repairs often fall in the $800-$1,500 range for most North Salem homes.
Full roof replacement costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and complexity. Most North Salem residential roofing projects range from $15,000-$30,000, with factors like roof pitch, number of penetrations, and material choice affecting the final cost.
We provide detailed written estimates explaining all costs upfront – labor, materials, permits, and cleanup. No surprises or change orders unless you request additional work. Financing options are available for larger projects, and we can work with your insurance company for storm damage claims.
