Demystifying Roofing Warranties: What Long Island Homeowners Need To Know

Choosing a new roof is a significant investment, and understanding your warranty is crucial. At Marcor Construction, we believe in empowering homeowners with knowledge. Our CEO, Gina Farese, recently shared valuable insights into roofing warranties, and we’re here to break it down for you.

The Truth About ‘Limited Lifetime’ Shingles:

Gone are the days of 25, 30, or 40-year shingles. Today, most manufacturers offer ‘limited lifetime’ warranties. But what does that really mean? Typically, it covers the first 10 years non-prorated, followed by a prorated period extending up to 50 years. Understanding the specifics of your manufacturer’s warranty is essential.

The Impact of Proper Installation:

Did you know that the number of nails used per shingle directly affects your wind resistance warranty? Installing shingles with six nails, rather than four, can significantly increase your protection against high winds. This is just one example of how proper installation plays a critical role in your roof’s performance and warranty coverage. With recent tarrifs, and nail prices rising, it is more important than ever to have a contractor who does not cut corners.

The Importance of Warranty Registration:

Many homeowners overlook the importance of registering their roofing warranty. Without registration, it can be challenging to file a claim if an issue arises. At Marcor Construction, we take the hassle out of this process. We register every warranty for our clients, ensuring they have the necessary documentation and protection.

Material Tracking and Homeowner Protection:

Manufacturers can trace the origin of each shingle, allowing them to identify potential defects. However, homeowners need to provide crucial information about the installation, such as the material purchase location, square footage, ventilation, and accessories. At Marcor Construction, we meticulously record these details to protect our clients.

Why Choose Marcor Construction?

As a local, family-owned business, Marcor Construction is committed to providing Long Island homeowners with exceptional service and peace of mind. We prioritize transparency, quality workmanship, and customer satisfaction. When you choose Marcor, you’re not just getting a new roof; you’re getting a partner dedicated to protecting your investment.

Conclusion:

Don’t leave your roofing warranty to chance. Do your homework, ask questions, and choose a contractor you can trust. At Marcor Construction, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Contact us today for a free estimate and experience the Marcor difference.

Shining a Light on Long Island’s Solar Industry: Key Takeaways from the Smart Growth Summit

By Gina Farese, CEO Marcor Construction & Marcor Solar

It was an honor to participate as a panelist at the 23rd Annual Long Island Smart Growth Summit, specifically the Clean Energy Resources panel. This year’s summit brought together over 1,000 leaders from the business, government, and community sectors to discuss critical issues impacting Long Island’s growth and development.

My focus was on bringing attention to the “good, the bad, and the ugly” of Long Island’s solar industry. While the growth of solar energy on Long Island is incredibly encouraging, it’s crucial to address the challenges and ensure we are building a sustainable and trustworthy industry.

Here are some key takeaways from my panel discussion:

  • The Good: Long Island is making strides in solar adoption, with increasing numbers of homeowners and businesses embracing clean energy solutions. This shift is reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, creating jobs, and contributing to a healthier environment.
  • The Bad: Unfortunately, the rapid growth of the solar industry has attracted some unscrupulous actors. Unrealistic promises, subpar installations, and aggressive sales tactics are eroding consumer trust.
  • The Ugly: Lack of proper consumer protection and industry oversight can leave homeowners vulnerable to scams and poor-quality workmanship. This not only harms individual consumers but also casts a shadow on the entire solar industry.

Moving Forward:

To foster a thriving and ethical solar industry on Long Island, we need to focus on:

  • Transparency and Education: Providing clear, accurate information about solar technology, costs, and benefits is essential. Consumers need to be empowered to make informed decisions.
  • Industry Standards and Accountability: Stronger regulations and enforcement are needed to weed out bad actors and ensure that all solar installations meet high-quality standards.
  • Customer Advocacy: Protecting consumer rights and providing recourse for those who have been wronged is critical for building trust in the solar industry.

I was thrilled to see the level of engagement and interest in clean energy at the Smart Growth Summit. By working together – industry leaders, policymakers, and consumers – we can create a brighter future for solar on Long Island.

Unlocking the Power of Savings: The Federal Solar Tax Credit

Let’s discuss a significant financial benefit that can sweeten the deal of going solar: the federal solar tax credit. Often called the “solar tax credit” for simplicity, its official name is the residential clean energy tax credit. This credit allows you to deduct some of the costs associated with installing a solar panel system on your home. Think of it as a tax break that can significantly reduce the upfront cost of your solar investment.

Here’s a breakdown of the federal solar tax credit:

  • Eligible Expenses: The credit covers equipment and installation of solar panels. It’s important to note that structural work solely to support the panels doesn’t qualify.
  • Credit Percentage: As of 2024 (taxes filed in 2025), the credit is a generous 30% of your eligible costs. This incentive is scheduled to remain at 30% through 2032.
  • Geek Tip: The federal solar tax credit is technically an investment tax credit (ITC). This means it’s an incentive from the government to encourage investment in renewable energy sources like solar power.
  • Good News for Future Thinkers: In 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act extended the availability of solar tax credits through 2034.

The New York State Solar Energy System Equipment Credit

Who is eligible?

You are entitled to claim this credit if you:

  • purchased solar energy system equipment,
  • entered into a written agreement for the lease of solar energy system equipment, or
  • entered into a written agreement that spans at least ten years for the purchase of power generated by solar energy system equipment not owned by you.

The solar energy system must use solar radiation to produce energy for heating, cooling, hot water, or electricity for residential use.  The system must also be installed and used at your principal residence in New York State.

How much is the credit?

The credit is equal to 25% of your qualified solar energy system equipment expenditures and is limited to $5,000.

  • The solar energy system equipment credit is not refundable. However, any credit amount in excess of the tax due can be carried over for up to five years.
  • It is SUPER IMPORTANT to check with your financial consultant or CPA to confirm your eligibility for any tax credits or deductions.

What’s Under That Roof?

Hey there, Long Island! Gina’s back on the roof, and this time she’s uncovering a hidden cost that can surprise homeowners during a replacement.

Here’s the thing: until we remove the old shingles, we can’t see the condition of the plywood beneath them. This plywood is crucial for a strong, secure roof. Unfortunately, the plywood sometimes needs replacing due to factors like poor ventilation, leaks, or just age.

That’s why at Marcor Construction, we ALWAYS explain this possibility to our customers BEFORE we start the job. We believe in transparency and want to avoid any surprises down the line. But sometimes, folks don’t understand why there’s an extra charge.

Here’s the truth: a healthy roof needs healthy plywood! Gina’s up there ensuring your roof gets the TLC it deserves, not just a quick fix.

Want to avoid hidden costs? Call Marcor Construction for a thorough inspection and upfront estimate! We’ll be there to answer all your questions and ensure your roof is solid from the top down.

Why Choosing the Right Contractor Matters

Who’s On Your Roof?

Ever heard the saying, “If you think hiring a professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur”? When it comes to your roof, this couldn’t be more true. Your roof is the shield protecting your entire home from the elements. One mistake during a repair or replacement can lead to a cascade of problems, from leaks and water damage to structural issues and even safety hazards.

That’s where the question arises: Who’s On Your Roof?

At Marcor Construction, this isn’t just a catchy tagline – it’s our commitment to homeowner education and safety. We see far too many roofing projects fail because homeowners were lured in by the promise of a quick fix or a “discount” price. Unfortunately, these shortcuts often lead to bigger problems down the road, costing you more time, money, and stress in the long run.

So, why shouldn’t you take a chance on your roof?

Here are some key reasons to choose a reputable, experienced contractor like Marcor Construction:

  • Expertise: Roofing is a skilled trade. Skilled roofers understand the nuances of different materials, installation techniques, and local building codes. They can identify potential problems before they escalate and ensure your roof is built to last.
  • Licensing and Insurance: Beware of unlicensed or under-insured contractors. In the event of an accident or faulty installation, you could be left holding the bag for repairs and injuries. Marcor Construction is fully licensed and insured, offering peace of mind throughout the project.
  • Quality Materials: Not all roofing materials are created equal. A reputable contractor will use high-quality materials that are designed to withstand the elements in your specific climate. This translates to a longer lifespan for your roof and fewer repairs in the future.
  • Safety First: Roofing is inherently dangerous. Marcor Construction prioritizes safety by employing a fully trained and equipped crew, adhering to all safety protocols.

Choosing the right contractor doesn’t have to be a gamble.

By educating yourself and partnering with a company like Marcor Construction, you can ensure your roof is in the hands of qualified professionals. We’ll work with you to understand your needs, provide a transparent and fair quote, and get the job done right – the first time.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be diving deeper into specific topics related to roof maintenance, repairs, and replacements. Stay tuned to learn more about how to protect your home – and your wallet – with the right roofing solutions.

Remember, when it comes to your roof, don’t settle for less.

Choose Marcor Construction – the trusted name for quality, safety, and peace of mind.
