A New City Roofer That Handles the Insurance Paperwork Too | Rockland Connected

Hendo Contracting covers everything from leak diagnosis to full tear-offs, and they'll work directly with your insurance claim so you don't have to figure it out alone.

Finding a contractor you can actually trust with your roof is one of those things Rockland County homeowners tend to learn the hard way — usually after a bad storm and an unreturned phone call from whoever gave them the lowest bid. Hendo Contracting, based in New City, is trying to be the straightforward alternative to that experience.

The company handles the full range of roofing work: tear-offs, re-roofs, repairs, and leak diagnosis. That last one matters more than people realize. A lot of contractors will patch what they can see and call it done; leak diagnosis means actually tracking where water is getting in, which isn't always where the damage shows up on the ceiling below. They also do gutters and skylights, which puts them in useful territory for homeowners who want one crew rather than three.

Hendo holds manufacturer certifications on the major shingle lines, which is worth understanding if you're shopping around. Certified installers are trained and vetted by the manufacturer directly, meaning the product warranty on your shingles is more likely to hold up if something goes wrong down the line. On top of that, they offer written warranties on workmanship — their own labor, separate from the materials. In roofing, that distinction matters, because most failures trace back to installation rather than the shingles themselves.

The insurance-claim assistance is probably the detail that stands out most here. Storm damage claims in particular can be genuinely confusing — what's covered, how to document it, what an adjuster is actually looking for. Having a contractor who will work through that process with you is useful whether you're dealing with wind damage from last season or something more recent.

New City sits roughly in the center of the county, which makes Hendo a reasonable option for homeowners across a wide range of Rockland towns — from Nanuet and Bardonia to the north toward Haverstraw.
