Buffalo’s lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and driving spring rain push asphalt shingles and underlayment to their limits. When a roof finally fails, fast action is critical to protect framing, insulation, and interior finishes. CountBricks streamlines every phase of a roof replace Buffalo project, combining real-time voice capture, AI estimating, and blueprint takeoffs to give homeowners clarity and control from day one.
• Annual snowfall averages 95 inches
• Ice damming is common from December through March
• June storm cells drive wind gusts above 60 mph
Those extreme swings mean shingles that last 25 years downstate can fatigue in 15 up here. A proactive replacement strategy not only prevents leaks but also improves energy performance by tightening the attic envelope. CountBricks roofing specialists weigh all of these local factors when specifying assemblies and ventilation schemes.

A 1920s two-story bungalow near Buffalo’s Elmwood Village showed curled shingles and ceiling stains after a record snow season. The homeowner called CountBricks on a Tuesday afternoon. Here’s how the project unfolded:
1. Wednesday – Voice walk-through and drone survey uploaded. AI estimate (29 squares, 12 roof facets, 18 % sheathing replacement) delivered in 14 minutes.
2. Thursday – Digital signature and financing approval triggered auto-purchase of Class 3 architectural shingles at locked-in pricing.
3. Monday – Crew mobilized. Tear-off completed before noon; 11 sheets of OSB replaced.
4. Tuesday – Synthetic underlayment, full-width ice-shield, and ridge vent installed. Job closed out by 3 p.m.
The client accessed daily photos and cost tracking through their CountBricks dashboard, noting zero change orders. Final invoice matched the original AI quote within $23—an overage caused by one additional chimney saddle.
