Shingle systems we install
We work with the top-tier shingle manufacturers — GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning — because their warranties are real and their products handle Northeast freeze-thaw cycles. The three lines we recommend most often:
- Architectural (dimensional) shingles — GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, Owens Corning Duration. Our daily-driver: 30-year-plus lifespan, strong wind ratings, dozens of color options.
- Designer (luxury) shingles — GAF Camelot II, CertainTeed Presidential Shake. The look of slate or wood shake at a fraction of the cost. Common on Scarsdale and Bronxville Tudors and Colonials.
- Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles — worth considering for parts of Westchester that take consistent hail or have insurance discounts available.
What a Heart Roofing shingle install actually includes
If anyone hands you an estimate that only lists “shingles, labor, and disposal,” ask what it leaves out. Our written estimates always cover:
- Full tear-off down to the deck — we don’t install over an existing roof.
- Deck inspection and rotted-sheathing replacement at a clearly disclosed per-sheet price.
- Synthetic underlayment across the entire deck (not 15-lb felt).
- Self-adhered ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and around penetrations — critical in Westchester for ice-dam prevention.
- New drip edge, new step flashing, new pipe boots, and new ridge vent or off-ridge ventilation.
- Cleanup with magnetic nail sweep of driveways, lawns, and walkways before we leave the property.
- Manufacturer-backed material warranty plus our written workmanship guarantee.
How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in Westchester?
Manufacturer ratings are 30 to 50 years, but Westchester conditions — freeze-thaw, heavy snow loads, summer humidity, and dense tree cover — typically deliver 22 to 28 years of real-world life from a quality architectural shingle that’s been installed correctly and ventilated properly. The two biggest accelerators of premature failure are bad attic ventilation (which cooks shingles from below) and skipped underlayment details around flashings.
Free estimate, no pressure
We’ll come out, walk the roof, take photos, and send you a written estimate within 48 hours. If a repair is enough, we’ll tell you. If it’s time for replacement, we’ll show you the deck and explain exactly what’s going on. Call (914) 713-5170 or use the form to schedule.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a new asphalt shingle roof cost in Westchester County?
Most full asphalt shingle replacements on a Westchester single-family home land between $12,000 and $28,000, driven by square footage, roof pitch, layers being torn off, deck condition, and shingle line. We give written, line-item estimates after a free inspection — no high-pressure sales calls.
Do you install over my existing shingles?
No. A second layer voids most manufacturer warranties, hides deck rot, and shortens the life of the new roof. Every shingle roof we install starts with a full tear-off.
How long does a roof replacement take?
A typical Westchester home roof is one to two days of work — we tear off in the morning, dry it in the same day, and finish the install before we leave. We schedule around weather and do not leave a roof exposed overnight.
Are your shingle roofs guaranteed?
Yes. You get the manufacturer’s material warranty (lifetime, transferable on most GAF and CertainTeed lines) plus a written Heart Roofing workmanship guarantee in your estimate packet.
