roofing in New Rochelle
Calls about roofing in New Rochelle, New York, are answered 24/7, and a visit the same day happens only when a technician is free. This page covers ZIP 10804, the city's North End, a lower-density part of the city of detached houses. New Rochelle is in New York, so the county license and New York contract rules apply.
New Rochelle is a substantial Sound-shore city at the far western edge of this service area, about 24 km from Stamford. Only the 10804 ZIP code falls inside the radius, and it covers the North End, inland of the downtown. This page is about that northern, lower-density part, which has detached houses rather than the apartment towers downtown or the waterfront.
A Connecticut Home Improvement Contractor registration does not authorize work in New Rochelle. The county's Department of Consumer Protection licenses contractors, and its definition of contractor includes roof work for residential properties of up to three units. The rest of this page covers the license, the written contract, the permit and the roof types a crew sees on detached houses in this part of the city.

What roofs does the North End of New Rochelle have?
This is a detached-house part of the city, so most of the work is on single house roofs rather than multifamily or flat roof stacks. Pitched roofs with valleys, dormers and chimneys are the common job. A technician checks those junctions first, from the ground and then from a ladder or the roof where access allows.
Because the stock is mixed in age, a roof here can be a covering question on one block and a flashing question on the next. Describe the roof, the house type and the part of the house that leaks, and say whether there is staining in a ceiling. That description tells the crew whether the work is a repair or a larger replacement.
Which license applies to a New Rochelle roof?
New York State does not license home improvement contractors itself. Westchester County does, through its Department of Consumer Protection, and the county's licensing law defines a contractor to include roof work. The license covers residential properties of up to three units. Working without it is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year, a $5,000 fine or both.
Licensed contractors display a green sticker on the rear bumper showing the expiry date. The county publishes lists of licensed and avoided contractors, checkable online or at (914) 995-2155. As of the county's current application packet, a two-year license is $750, with expedited processing $100 more.
What must a New Rochelle contract say?
Under General Business Law article 36-A, an agreement where the price is more than $500 must be in writing and signed by all parties. The writing needs the contractor's name, address and telephone, the license number where one applies, estimated start and completion dates, a description of the work and materials, and the price.
The writing must also state the owner's right to cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing. Progress payments go into an escrow account, and the definition of home improvement contractor reaches anyone with more than $1,500 in total contracts over twelve months. Ask how payments will be handled before the first one is made.
Who issues the permit, and what do storms do here?
The building permit comes from the municipality under the New York State Uniform Code. For a New Rochelle address, ask the city's building department whether the job needs a permit before materials are ordered. The county license and the city permit are separate requirements, and one does not replace the other.
Storms reach this part of the city mainly through wind and rain. Hurricane Irene in August 2011 crossed southeastern New York and western Connecticut, and localized rainfall in Connecticut and New York exceeded 10 inches. After a storm, look at the roof from the ground for lifted shingles, bent gutters and debris packed into valleys, and call the line if water has reached a ceiling.
