3/13/2020As first time home buyers, my wife and I were… read more in desperate need of a reliable, trustworthy contractor to give our fixer upper some much needed updating. Panther Siding & Windows exceeded our expectation. It all started with Glen meeting with us at our house to figure out the new layout. Our renovation was no small task. The entire first floor was gutted, walls were moved, and all plumbing and electric had to be redone. Within an hour Glen was able to rough out a floor plan and suggest finishes that fell within our budget and style. Demo began the next week and everything took off from there.Not only did Glen and his foreman Anthony keep us informed every step of the way, they kept our home clean while under construction. They also finished a full month ahead of schedule! As we look at the finished product, we are amazed at the transformation. What was once an outdated fixer upper is now a modern home you would expect to see in a magazine! The purchase of a first home is a huge deal and undertaking an extensive renovation is another hurdle altogether. Thankfully, we were in good hands. Both me and my wife plan on using Glen and his team of experts for all of our future remodeling projects. read less

I highly recommend Panther Siding &Windows in North Bellmore read less

3/13/2020My experience with Panther Siding & Windows, Inc was an… read more excellent one. First, I needed the wood pole that held the wires connecting the electric from the street to my home replaced and the soffit repaired. The electrician they sent was great and completed the job safely and professionally. Then they sent their guys to repair the soffit and reattach the gutters.. they did a fantastic job. Next, I had wind damage on my roof, front lawn light, side door light and awning.. the entire roof (3 layers) needed to be removed and a new roof put on. Glen handled all dealings with my homeowners insurance to get the roof replaced as well as my front light, side light and side awning. The roof was removed and replaced in one day with a fantastic crew of workers. They worked neatly and all of the materials from the original roof ended up in the dumpster and not on my property. They completed the job by the end of the day, and it looked great. My next door neighbors later commented on how impressed they were with the crew, they had had their roof replaced a couple of years before and the company they used left lots of nails and screws on their property. With the help of Glen I ordered the lights that needed to be replaced from a company I choose, unfortunately the light I ordered was custom, originally they said I would have it in 8 weeks.. that ended up being over 6 months. When I called Glen to have the lights installed he had a crew to my home within a week. They changed all of the fixtures and my home looks great and I now have beautiful lights. Throughout this whole process Glen and all of the people at Panther were helpful and professional. I will definitely use them for future jobs that come up in my home and will highly recommend them whenever I can. read less

When it comes to roofing contractors in Nassau County, no other company can compare to Panther Siding and Windows! Signs You Need a New Roof Installation While you know that having a solid roof over your head is vital for your comfort and safety, if you’re like a lot of Kensington, NY homeowners, you probably don’t pay too much attention to the upper-most portion of your home. In fact, you probably don’t think twice about it, until you notice that there’s a big problem, that is, like a leak in your ceiling. While some problems can be fixed with a simple roof repair, other issues might necessitate a complete replacement. How can you tell the difference? Here’s a look at some of the top signs that indicate you should really consider investing in new roof installation.
It's Past the Expiration Date
On average, an asphalt singled roof will last between 20 and 25 years. Constant exposure to the elements – high winds, heavy rains, snow, extreme temperatures, and harsh UV rays – breakdown the components of even the highest quality roofs; the shingles can become loose, the underlayment can be exposed, etc. Therefore, if your roof has exceeded its life expectancy or it’s approaching, you should consider looking into a new roof installation. The longer you wait to have it replaced, the weaker the materials will become, and the more your entire home will become vulnerable to damage. Missing Shingles Shingles can be pulled off in high winds, it’s true, and in these cases, simply replacing the missing shingles may be enough to restore the function of the structure. However, if a lot of shingles are missing – regardless of the cause – that’s a sign that your roof could end up failing. Shingles play a vital role in your roofing system, as they’re the first line of protection against the elements; additionally, they make your roof fire-resistant (or at least help it to stand up longer in the event of a fire). Therefore, if a lot of shingles are missing, there’s a good chance that you may need to have the entire roof replaced; especially if they’ve been missing for a prolonged period of time or if they were torn off during a severe rainstorm, as the underlayment may be damaged. Damaged Shingles Even if all of the shingles are present, that’s doesn’t mean they’re serving their purpose. Get up on your roof and inspect the shingles (or have a professional inspect them for you). If you notice any curling, buckling, cracking, “bald” spots (missing granules), or any other issues, and it appears as if the damage is widespread, you may need to have the entire roof replaced. Shingles can’t protect the underlying components of your roofing system if they’re in disrepair, which means that your entire roof could be susceptible to damage.
Damage in the Valleys
Valleys are an extremely important part of your roof, as the direct water runoff to the gutters. As such, they’re exposed to moisture on a constant basis. Given the high amounts of rain and snow that Nassau County receives, if the shingles along the valleys of your roof are missing or damaged, leaks are bound to occur. Granules in Your Gutters Asphalt shingles are covered in tiny granules. These granules increase the durability of the shingles, protect them from the elements, and make them fire-resistant. As a roof ages, the constant exposure to wind, rain, and even tree branches, can loosen the granules; however, the shingles on newer roofs that haven’t yet reached their life expectancy can be damaged in this way, as well. As the granules loosen, they fall into the gutters. While you’re cleaning out your gutters (a chore that should be done every spring and fall, at least), if you notice a collection of granules – especially if it’s a large accumulation – you may need to consider a new roof installation. Holes, Cracks, and Gaps Check the ceiling in your attic. If you can see any holes, cracks, or gaps, you’ll need to have your roof replaced as soon as possible. Sunlight shining through any points in the ceiling is a surefire sign that there are openings; however, don’t just assume that because you can’t see light coming in that these entry points aren’t present. Inspect the insulation for moisture. Rain, snow, and dew can enter minuscule openings that you may not be able to see; therefore, feeling the insulation for any moisture is a good way to tell if you have any holes, cracks, or gaps are present. Rising Energy Bills While the cost of fuel oil and electricity is constantly on the rise, a sharp and unexpected increase in your energy bills might indicate there’s a problem with your roof. If there are any openings in the roof, heated and cooled air will enter and exit through the structure. In an effort to maintain the temperature, your HVAC system will need to work harder, and the harder it works, the more energy it uses. As a result, your utility bills will be higher.
