Bozena Sokolowski
Owner and estimator
Walks every roof before she writes the estimate, and answers for what's in it.
About
A Syracuse roofing firm with a steam crew
Sokolowski Roofing replaces roofs in the snow belt, and runs the steamer when ice dams form.
Bozena Sokolowski runs the firm and writes every estimate herself. The crew that steams in January is the same one that roofs in October, so the people who see what ice does to a roof are the people who build the next one.
How the shop works
One estimator, one crew
Tie-off on every roof
The same people answer the phone and come to the house
The crew
Who you will deal with
Four people, from the first call to the last ridge cap.
Orville Hylton
Steam and ice-dam crew lead
Runs the steamer from November to March. Works from ladders and anchors, and never on iced shingles without a tie-off.
Myrlande Desir
Office and winter on-call line
Answers the winter line, builds the steaming list and sends the photo reports.
Anil Bissessar
Re-roof foreman
Runs tear-off and install days, and walks you through the vents before the ridge closes.
How we work
Three habits
We write it down
Estimates, options and terms, in writing, before work starts.
We tell you what's feeding the dam
A steaming visit ends with a note on the cause.
We don't promise what weather decides
No guarantees about snow, ice or a dry attic.
Want to meet at your house?
We'll come to you, look at the roof and the attic, and write it down.
