Licensed and insured roofing company and exterior contractors serving Westchester County, NY and the surrounding area. We are full-service contractors for residential and commercial roof replacement and repair, new roof installation, chimney repair, skylight installation, siding installation, windows, and doors. What sets us apart from the other exterior contractors? In 2012 we decided we’d ditch the sales gimmicks. Instead, we aim to be your most trusted exterior contractors by building strong relationships with Hudson Valley homeowners. By focusing on educating our customer, we ensure you have a quality exterior contractor work on your project, even if it's not us you hire. As your neighbors, we want to earn your trust and build relationships that last a lifetime. We believe an educated customer can make better decisions, knows what to expect and is better equipped to manage residential roofing and contracting projects in the Hudson Valley. We don’t sacrifice quality for profit. Your project is a process to help you decide to repair or replace, then design and carry out your job through final inspection. We are your elite roofing company, but don't just trust us, make us prove it!

"I have worked in construction my whole life. MCAS did a nice job in a timely and efficient manner. It came down to two comparable bids but I chose MCAS because it's a family run business and I could call Mike, the owner of the company, any time and he would answer. You also have to admire a roofer who breaks off and starts his own company. I have a soft spot for those with an entrepreneurial spirit, improving the US economy. Justine was also exceedingly pleasant to deal with. Responsiveness ranks as my top priority when dealing with large home projects and Justine get full marks, always getting back to me within minutes. They didn't try upsell me or talk me into any extras, they did exactly what I asked for in a quality manner and at a competative price. The crew was friendly and fast.

"Rich was absolutely incredible. He was so proactive in identifying areas that could be of concern/lead to safety issues and found issues that multiple other professionals including other chimney sweeps did not find. He gave us a lot of his time for a super fair price and was honest that he didn’t believe we needed a cleaning. He identified a huge issue with our fireplace and immediately presented a solution so that we could use it in time for Christmas! He also noticed a faulty pipe in our HVAC system which the other vendor also missed. Would recommend 1000%! What a true professional with a tremendous work ethic!"

"Mark S. was very responsive. He reviewed our situation and provided an estimate via email rather quickly. The chimney wall tiles were gradually falling and causing drafting issues. We immediately felt comfortable in hiring Mark and scheduled the work after the holiday. Mark, Ben and Dan arrived promptly and were courteous. They protected the basement storage area from any dust or debris by putting up plastic sheeting and laying down tarp. When they were finished, the area was spotless. The cement patch work on the wall opening was done nicely too. The replacement connections to oil water heater and two oil furnaces looks great as well. It all went well and we were pleased to have hired Chimney Savers and Mark Schaub and his crew. His estimate was fair."

"I am sure that all positive reviews for this company are fake. Nothing that was promised to me was delivered. My siding project is still ongoing for over 1 month. Was told that it would be done in week. Had one rain day. They have system like this: 1) sales person who never installed anything he will promise you things that obviously are not true, 2) crew that is subcontracted but not Gunner, mine was driving for over 2 hours away, 3) person who oversees the project but has little control over anything, no supply, doesn't know the crew, crew does not listen to him, main office does not listen to him, 4) main office does not reply to you. They just tell me to talk to project manager who has no control. So you understand that if there are any issue you are on your own. Quality or work is not good. Many times I had to point to the crew what's wrong, planks are broken yet they were still installing it, caulking is done they way that I can do it better, they cut wires to awning etc"

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Copper roofs last an average of around 100 years, making it one of the longest-lasting types of roofs. It’s significantly more expensive than an asphalt shingle roof, but it also lasts three to four times as long, providing great value for the money. You can extend the life of your copper roof by carrying out routine maintenance, like scheduling annual cleaning and roof inspections.

Metal roofs have a reputation for being very noisy, but with proper installation and adequate installation, metal roofs aren’t much noisier than shingle roofs. Some types and gauges of metal roofing provide more sound dampening, and added insulation or a thicker underlayment can also help muffle noise.

Yes, a drip edge is necessary on a metal roof, according to the International Residential Code (IRC). Drip edge flashing prevents water from dripping onto and behind your fascia board, which prevents the board from rotting and reduces the risk of water damage behind it. On gable ends, you can either install drip edge flashing or gable-end flashing to avoid the same issues.

Maintaining repaired areas involves regular cleaning, ensuring protective coatings are intact, and inspecting for signs of rust or wear that need to be addressed.

While it’s less common than on other kinds of roofs, yes, ice dams can form on metal roofs. Metal roofs, particularly those with snow guards installed, can still accumulate ice at the roof edge, although ice dams on metal roofs are less likely to cause roof or interior damage than on traditional asphalt shingle roofs.
