Project: New Roof, Gutters and Siding Installation in Yonkers NYC

American Star Contractor Corp completed a full exterior envelope transformation for a residential property in Yonkers, NY (Westchester County). Properties in urban-suburban Westchester face punishing seasonal shifts—ranging from freezing winter ice storms and heavy snowfall to humid summers and torrential downpours. These aggressive weather patterns quickly expose weaknesses in aging siding, degraded roofing materials, and underperforming drainage systems.

This project was engineered to provide total building envelope rehabilitation, integrating a new roof, upgraded siding, and custom gutters into a single cohesive, high-performance protective shield that modernizes the home’s exterior and secures long-term structural integrity.

Comprehensive Scope of Work & Multi-System Integration

To ensure maximum durability, energy efficiency, and visual harmony, the American Star Contractor team executed a synchronized, multi-phase renovation workflow:

• Complete Roof Tear-Off & Deck Remediation: All legacy roofing layers were stripped away down to the raw timber deck. Technicians performed a rigorous structural inspection, replacing spongy or water-damaged plywood panels to establish a solid, code-compliant nailing base.

• Weather-Resistive Barriers & Roofing Installation: Heavy-duty synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shields were installed across vulnerable eaves and valleys, followed by premium architectural asphalt shingles designed to withstand high wind-uplift pressures.

• Siding Extraction & Subsurface Insulation: Worn, weathered exterior cladding was completely removed. The underlying framing was inspected and wrapped in high-performance weather-resistive barriers (house wrap) to block moisture infiltration and reduce thermal bridging.

• Precision Siding Panel Installation: Durable, low-maintenance siding materials were expertly installed with precise corner posts, J-channels, and custom trim work, instantly upgrading the home’s thermal efficiency and exterior aesthetic.

• Custom Seamless Gutter & Downspout Network: A high-capacity aluminum seamless gutter system was custom-fitted to the roofline and paired with correctly pitched downspouts. This guarantees that heavy rainwater is safely diverted away from the foundation, preventing soil erosion and basement moisture issues.

• Final Quality & Compliance Audit: A rigorous multi-point inspection verified that all roofing overlaps, flashing details, siding panels, and drainage pitches met strict New York construction standards and manufacturer warranty guidelines.
