Roofing Contractor in Scarsdale, NY
Scarsdale's housing stock runs heavy on Tudor and center-hall colonial homes built between the 1920s and 1950s, many still carrying original slate or cedar shake roofing. We price these roofs by material and pitch, not a flat per-square rate, since matching existing slate is a different job than a standard asphalt tear-off.

Recent Work
A Scarsdale Project Spotlight
A recent Scarsdale project matched cracked and slipped slate on a 1930s Tudor in Heathcote, replacing damaged sections with reclaimed slate sourced to match the existing color and cut rather than switching the whole roof to asphalt.

Roofing in Scarsdale - Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Match Slate on Older Scarsdale Homes?
Yes, matching existing slate color, size, and cut is part of a Scarsdale slate repair estimate. Full replacement in a different material is also an option if reclaimed slate isn't practical for the scope.
Does a New Roof in Scarsdale Need Board of Architectural Review Approval?
Visible exterior changes in some Scarsdale character areas go through the Board of Architectural Review in addition to the standard village building permit. We confirm whether your property falls under that review before filing.
How Do You Handle Roof Replacement on a Large Scarsdale Lot?
Large-lot properties usually mean more staging room for material and equipment, which can simplify logistics compared to a tighter village lot. We still confirm driveway access and any tree protection needs before scheduling.
What Causes Most Roof Leaks on Scarsdale Colonials?
Aging flashing around chimneys and dormers is the most common leak source we find on Scarsdale's center-hall colonials, more often than the shingle field itself failing.
