Certified Contracting Services Inc has been fixing roofs in Sleepy Hollow, NY for over a decade. We’ve seen how Hudson Valley weather tests every roof – from sudden summer thunderstorms to ice dam formations that catch homeowners off guard.
Our team understands the unique challenges that Sleepy Hollow homes face. The area’s proximity to the Hudson River creates specific moisture conditions, and the mature trees that make the neighborhood beautiful can also drop branches during storms. We’ve repaired roofs on century-old colonials and modern builds alike.
You’re not just hiring a contractor – you’re working with neighbors who live and work in this community. We know which roofing materials hold up best in our climate, and we stand behind every repair with our local reputation.
First, we come out to assess your roof damage – usually within 24 hours of your call. We’ll climb up and inspect every potential problem area, not just the obvious leak spot. You get photos of what we find and a clear explanation of what needs to be done.
Next, we provide you with a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials and labor costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges. If it’s an emergency repair, we can often start the same day to prevent further damage to your home.
During the repair, we protect your property with tarps and ensure our work area stays clean. We use quality materials designed for Northeast weather conditions. Once the work is complete, we walk you through everything we’ve done and clean up thoroughly. You get documentation of the repair work and warranty information for your records.

We handle every type of roof repair common to Sleepy Hollow homes. Asphalt shingle repairs are our most frequent service – whether it’s replacing storm-damaged shingles or fixing flashing around chimneys and vents. We also repair slate roofs, which are common on older homes in the area, and metal roofing systems.
Emergency repairs are available when storms hit. We understand that water damage doesn’t wait for business hours. Our emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate leaks, followed by permanent repairs as soon as conditions allow.
Sleepy Hollow’s location near the Hudson River means homes deal with specific challenges like ice dams in winter and humidity-related issues year-round. We factor these local conditions into every repair, using materials and techniques that address the root cause of problems rather than just covering symptoms. Each repair comes with documentation and warranty coverage so you know exactly what’s been done and what’s protected.
We typically respond to emergency roof repair calls within 2-4 hours during business hours and within 24 hours for after-hours emergencies. For active leaks, we prioritize stopping the water intrusion first with temporary weatherproofing measures.
Our emergency response includes tarping the damaged area, securing loose materials that could cause further damage, and documenting the extent of the problem. We’ll provide you with a temporary solution to protect your home while we prepare for permanent repairs. Weather conditions sometimes affect our response time, but we always communicate realistic timeframes and keep you updated throughout the process.
We repair all common roofing materials found in Sleepy Hollow, including asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, slate, cedar shakes, metal roofing, and flat roof systems. Many homes in the area have asphalt shingles, which we can match for color and style even on older installations.
Slate roofs are particularly common on historic homes in Sleepy Hollow, and we have specialized experience working with natural slate, including sourcing matching materials when individual slates need replacement. For metal roofing systems, we work with standing seam, corrugated, and tile-style metal materials. Each material requires specific techniques and tools, and our team is equipped to handle the unique requirements of your roof type while maintaining the architectural character of your home.
Winter roof repairs in Sleepy Hollow require special techniques due to snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. We can perform emergency repairs year-round, though permanent work may need to wait for better weather conditions depending on the severity of damage.
For winter emergencies, we focus on stopping water intrusion and preventing ice dam formation. We use cold-weather materials and techniques that remain effective in freezing conditions. Ice dam removal requires careful work to avoid damaging shingles, and we have specialized equipment for safe ice removal. When possible, we schedule non-emergency repairs for spring when we can ensure optimal adhesion of materials and complete weatherproofing. We always explain the limitations of winter repairs and provide realistic timelines for permanent solutions.
Roof repair costs in Sleepy Hollow vary significantly based on the type of damage, roofing material, and accessibility of your roof. Minor shingle repairs typically range from $200-800, while more extensive repairs involving multiple areas or structural damage can range from $1,000-5,000 or more.
Emergency repairs often cost more due to the urgency and after-hours nature of the work. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs before beginning any work. Factors that affect pricing include the pitch and height of your roof, the type of materials needed, and whether structural repairs are necessary. We never provide estimates over the phone – every quote requires an in-person inspection to ensure accuracy. Our estimates are valid for 30 days and include warranty information for the proposed work.
Yes, all our roof repairs in Sleepy Hollow come with warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. Typical repairs carry a 2-5 year warranty depending on the scope of work and materials used. Emergency repairs have shorter warranty periods but are covered until permanent repairs can be completed.
Our warranties are transferable if you sell your home, which adds value to your property. We provide written warranty documentation that specifies exactly what’s covered and for how long. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers, while our workmanship warranty covers installation and labor. We stand behind our work and will return to address any warranty issues at no charge. Keep your warranty documentation with your home maintenance records – it’s important for insurance claims and future roof work.
The decision between repair and replacement depends on the age of your roof, extent of damage, and cost-effectiveness of repairs. Generally, if repair costs exceed 25-30% of replacement cost, replacement makes more financial sense. We provide honest assessments and never recommend unnecessary work.
Signs that indicate replacement may be needed include multiple leak areas, extensive shingle loss, sagging roof sections, or daylight visible through the roof boards. Age is also a factor – most asphalt shingle roofs in Sleepy Hollow last 20-25 years, while slate and metal roofs can last much longer with proper maintenance. During our inspection, we’ll show you exactly what we find and explain your options clearly. We can often extend a roof’s life with strategic repairs, but we’ll tell you honestly when replacement is the better investment for your home’s protection and value.
