Roof Replacement Photo Album: Deck & Roof replacement in Bedford, NY

A property owner in the Bedford, NY area recently contacted Double R A Construction in need of a new asphalt roof and a full decking replacement. The existing roof, while still in relatively fair condition, had reached the 20-year mark, an age at which insurance companies typically require full replacement as a condition of sale. This mandate can be frustrating for homeowners, particularly when the shingles appear to be in good shape, but compliance is essential for a successful property transaction. After conducting a thorough roof inspection, our team confirmed that replacement was necessary to meet insurance requirements.   We then turned our attention to the home’s exterior decking. While it was evident that some of the rear stair boards had been replaced, the side stairs and the main deck showed significant signs of wear. The original pressure-treated lumber was deteriorating, with several boards showing softness, an indicator of water infiltration and potential moisture damage.   Given the condition of the existing wood, we recommended upgrading to a composite decking system. Composite materials offer a range of advantages: they are low-maintenance, scratch-resistant, fade-resistant, and naturally resistant to insects. These benefits make composite a long-lasting and attractive alternative to traditional pressure-treated wood, especially in high-traffic outdoor areas.     Double R A Construction completed the full roof and decking replacement with precision and care, enhancing both the structural integrity and curb appeal of the property. The new roof meets insurance requirements, ensuring a smooth path to sale, while the updated composite deck provides lasting value and aesthetic appeal. The homeowner can now move forward with confidence, knowing their investment is protected and future buyers will appreciate the quality of the improvements.
