Greenburgh Wants Drawings, Even for Shingles
Many owners are surprised that a straight re-roof in Hartsdale needs drawings. Greenburgh’s Building Department asks for them on every roof permit for a one- or two-family house, and the application package is strict: an original and two copies, a notarized affidavit of ownership, contractor and insurance documents naming the Town, and a copy of the Westchester County home improvement license.
We prepare the roof drawings ourselves for a direct replacement, showing the site plan, the area of work, the roof pitch, the shingle and underlayment specifications, how the old covering comes off, and how insulation and drainage meet the State code. If the deck needs to be replaced or framing changed, we bring in a licensed engineer for sealed plans.
Hartsdale Roofs, House by House
Hartsdale’s single-family streets are hilly and often rocky, with houses from the 1920s through the 1960s. Tudors have steep gables, slate or tile accents and stone chimneys; colonials have long, simple roofs that age evenly; and split-levels have the awkward joint where a lower roof meets an upper wall.
We focus on the details each style hides: chimney counter flashing on the Tudors, attic ventilation on the colonials, and step flashing and cricket work on the splits. Steep driveways and tight lots shape the staging plan, and we protect landscaping and neighboring property throughout the tear-off.

Hartsdale Roofing FAQs
Does Greenburgh require a permit to replace a roof?
Yes. The Town of Greenburgh requires a building permit to replace or repair a roof. For a one- or two-family house, a direct replacement of the roof covering needs a permit plus drawings showing the site plan, roof area, pitch, materials, replacement method and code compliance including insulation and drainage.
When are sealed plans needed?
When the job involves structural changes, replacing the decking, or adding roof load, Greenburgh asks for plans signed and sealed by a New York licensed architect or engineer. We tell you at the estimate whether your roof is likely to cross that line.
Where do Hartsdale roof permits get filed?
Hartsdale is a hamlet of unincorporated Greenburgh, so it is the Town of Greenburgh Building Department at 177 Hillside Avenue. The Town accepts building permit applications from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays, with original inked signatures.
We have a homeowners' association. Does that matter?
Yes. Greenburgh asks for a letter from the homeowners’ association confirming it has reviewed and approved the plans, if there is one. For co-op and condo buildings, the board or managing agent usually controls the roof entirely.
What warranty comes with a Hartsdale roof?
Ten years on the roof and one year on all other workmanship, in writing, plus the shingle manufacturer’s product warranty.
