Yonkers Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Yonkers, NY for residential and commercial properties across southwest Westchester. On most of this fleet's markets, shingles are the flagship. Here they are a minority product, and saying so is more useful to you than pretending otherwise. On a great many Yonkers buildings the shingle is the part you see, and the roof is the part you do not.
A mansard face, a street-facing gable, a dormer band or a porch slope may be genuinely steep, take shingles properly, and account for a fifth of the actual roof area. The deck behind it is membrane. We price them as two systems with two service lives, because they are two systems with two service lives. That split is the single most useful thing on the estimate.
Where shingles do belong, the details that matter are unglamorous. An ice barrier that runs up from the eave past a line safely inside the heated wall, synthetic underlayment lapped downslope, six nails per shingle in the manufacturer's nail zone, and a starter course with its own adhesive strip rather than a cut-down field shingle. None of it costs much, and all of it gets skipped on a cheap job.
The decks under the older stock are boards, not plywood. Square-edge planks with gaps that have opened as the wood dried will not hold a nail reliably and will telegraph every board line through a laminated shingle. We overlay with half-inch plywood rather than nailing into hundred-year-old boards, and we say so in the bid instead of finding out on the day.
Color is worth one honest sentence. On a narrow street where the neighboring building is six feet away and the visible face is small, the expensive designer profile reads as a texture nobody can see from the sidewalk. A standard architectural laminate with a good nail zone and a proper starter will outlast it and cost noticeably less. Spend the difference on underlayment and flashing metal instead.
If you called about shingles because that is the word people know, and the survey finds your real problem is a drain and a wet insulation bay, we will tell you and move the budget. Selling you a shingle face while the deck behind it holds water is the most common way money gets wasted on roofs in this city. We would rather do the small job now and the roof when it is genuinely due.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — cast-iron drain bowls with replacement clamping rings, tapered polyisocyanurate laid to a quarter-inch board layout, lead-lined through-wall scupper sleeves, torch-applied SBS cap sheet turned up the parapet, gravel-stop edge metal set in two courses of flashing cement, sheet-metal coping caps with concealed splice plates — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Yonkers and nearby communities including Mount Vernon, Bronxville, Tuckahoe, Eastchester.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with cast-iron drain bowls with replacement clamping rings, tapered polyisocyanurate laid to a quarter-inch board layout, lead-lined through-wall scupper sleeves, torch-applied SBS cap sheet turned up the parapet, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Yonkers job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southwest Westchester means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Yonkers Chooses Yonkers Roof Pros
- ✓We settle one question before any other: does this roof still drain. The city's own re-roofing permit hangs two code allowances on that word, and your price hangs on it too.
- ✓A hose test on the low corner with the chalk line and the drain-down time written onto the estimate, rather than a slope guessed at from the sidewalk.
- ✓The drain bowl, clamping ring, strainer and the leader inside the wall chase are itemized apart from the membrane, because they fail on a completely different clock.
- ✓Where the street face is shingle and the deck behind it is membrane, you get two systems, two prices and two service lives, never one figure for the address.
