Home / Service Area / Greece
Monroe County’s biggest town, and a lot of long ranch roofs now on their third covering.
Greece is the largest town in Monroe County and it was built fast. Ridge Road and Dewey Avenue carry most of it, Long Pond and Latta run north to the shoreline, and the housing behind those roads went up in one long post-war push.
Ridge Road east to west, Dewey and Long Pond north to the lake, with the Lake Ontario State Parkway along the top of the town.
Post-war ranches and capes by the thousand, then split-levels, then a band of subdivisions from the late nineties on. Long, low slopes that shed slowly.
Open ground to the lake. Wind arrives with nothing in its way, and a low-pitch ranch roof holds snow and meltwater longer than a steep one.
About an hour from Attica, up the 390 and out Ridge.
There is no documented hail event on the Monroe side of our map, and we do not pretend otherwise. On a Greece ranch the damage is wind lifting tabs along an exposed ridge, and meltwater sitting at a shallow eave until it finds a nail hole. Both are photographable from the roof, and neither shows from the driveway.
Straight talk on insurance claims. We inspect, photograph, and document the damage, and we give you a written, itemized estimate you can hand to your insurer — and we can meet your adjuster on the roof. Your insurance company decides what’s covered. We don’t negotiate settlements — by New York law only a licensed public adjuster or attorney can represent you in a claim. We never pay, waive, or absorb deductibles (New York GBL §771-b makes that insurance fraud), and no contractor can promise your claim will be approved.
Repair or full replacement — we photograph what we find and recommend the cheaper fix when it will hold.

A ranch roof is a big simple surface, which makes it cheap to shingle and unforgiving about details. Underlayment at the eave, a clean drip edge and a gutter that actually carries the water are where these roofs are won or lost.

New York’s code allows at most two layers of asphalt shingles. A great many Greece houses are sitting on a second layer put down in the eighties or nineties, which makes the next roof a tear-off whether anyone likes it or not. That is not a sales line, it is arithmetic, and the photographs show which layer you are on.
Tearing off is also the only way anyone sees the decking. On a post-war ranch that often means plank sheathing with gaps, and sometimes a soft patch where a gutter has been overflowing for years. We photograph the deck before it is covered and price any replacement as its own line, so nothing appears on the invoice that you have not already seen.
The town pulls its own permit for a re-roof, and at a flat $50 on a house it is a fraction of what the city charges for the same work. Building without one adds $100. We pull it in our name, meet the inspector and hand you the paperwork at the end, so the fee is a line in your written price rather than a surprise at the close.
A tear-off. Code caps asphalt at two layers, so a third is not legal, and roofing over a second layer hides the decking anyway. We strip it, photograph what is underneath, and replace any bad sheathing as a priced line you approved first.
Yes. The town charges a flat $50 for a residential roofing permit, against $205 to $360 in the city, and $100 more if the work is done without one. We pull it, meet the inspector, and the fee is listed in your written price.
If the roof is young and the damage is on one plane, a repair holds — we keep the rest of the roof alone. If the shingles are brittle and the granules are already in the gutter, patching buys you a season. The photos make it obvious which you have.
Yes, the whole town. Houses nearer the water take more wind, and that end of Greece is worth a look after any hard blow.
Every slope photographed, findings explained, and a written, itemized price — repair, replace, or “you’re good for now.”
The Walk-Away Promise: if the report says your roof is fine, we hand you the file and leave. No follow-up calls unless you ask for one. See all 27 points →
