New York Roofing
by administratorNew York is another one of those Mid-Atlantic States which all have similar roofing trends because the climate on one side of the state is almost completely opposite to the other end of the state. When you look at New York roofing, you have to break it down into two main regions, east NY (everything from Long Island and all up and down the coast line and then spreading as far west into Westchester county and all points directly north of that) and then you have the western part of NY (again anything west of basically Orange county NY).
The two regions are vastly unique in their trends of roofing. East New York tends to have a shingles base and a lot of slate as well. In fact, as crazy as it sounds, occasionally ceramic makes its way into the picture here. The area also has many commercial office parks and buildings, so you see a lot of tar roofing as well as rubber and torch down roofing. Industrial roofing companies really thrive here.
Western New York has some hills, somewhat colder temps and a lot more snow and even a nice mix of lake effect winds. Metal roofing lives in this area, steel roofers thrive in Western New York. The commercial and industrial roofing scene is more metal based as well.
A handful of these Mid Atlantic states have roofing that looks very similar. You have ocean and coast line on one side and then mountainous / hilly terrain on the other. New York is definitely that way.
