Emergency Roof Repair
Water coming in right now, a membrane peeled back by wind, a branch through the deck. We make it watertight first and scope the permanent repair after.
Learn moreThirty-five kinds of roof work, grouped by the problem you have. Each one has its own page with how the job runs, what moves the price and the questions owners ask.

Quick answer: Start with the category that matches what you are seeing. Water coming in belongs under leaks and emergencies. An aging flat roof belongs under flat roof systems. Trouble at the edges belongs under parapets, flashing and skylights. Houses with shingle, slate or metal belong under pitched and historic roofs.

If water is coming in, start here. The job is to stop the water, find the real entry point and only then talk about anything bigger.

Water coming in right now, a membrane peeled back by wind, a branch through the deck. We make it watertight first and scope the permanent repair after.
Learn moreCeiling stains rarely sit under the hole. We trace the water back to the seam, flashing or drain that is letting it in, then fix that.
Learn moreFor the leak three roofers have already patched. Moisture surveys, core cuts and water tests show where the roof is wet and why.
Learn moreWater still sitting two days after rain wears a membrane out early. We correct the slope with tapered insulation, added drains or deck repair.
Learn moreA clogged or cracked drain bowl turns a sound roof into a pond. We clear, rebuild and replace interior drains, scuppers and overflows.

Most of the city lives under a flat roof. We repair and install the membrane systems those buildings actually use.

Blisters, split seams, punctures and cracked surfacing repaired with materials that match the membrane already on your roof.
Learn moreTear-off or recover, new insulation, new flashings and drains, with the DOB filing and the sustainable-roof question settled before work starts.
Learn moreFully adhered rubber membrane for rowhouses and small buildings: few seams, flexible through freeze and thaw, simple to patch years later.
Learn moreWhite heat-welded membrane that reflects summer sun and meets the city's cool roof rules without a coating. Strong seams for roofs with equipment.
Learn moreCold-applied and self-adhered multi-ply systems for rowhouse roofs and roofs that take foot traffic, with a tough granulated cap sheet.
Learn moreSilicone and acrylic coatings that extend the life of a sound flat roof and make it reflective, applied only after seams and flashings are fixed.
Learn moreFluid-applied membranes for crowded roofs where sheet goods cannot reach: around dunnage, pipe clusters, railings and odd penetrations.
Learn moreLeaks under a terrace are waterproofing leaks. We lift the pavers or decking, rebuild the membrane and drainage beneath, and put the surface back.
Learn moreTray and built-in-place green roofs for owners meeting the sustainable roofing zone requirement, over a membrane built to carry them.
Learn morePolyiso and tapered insulation that meets energy code at re-roof time and gives a flat roof the slope it needs to drain.

The edges and openings of a roof leak far more often than the middle of it.

Open joints, bulging brick and failed inside-face flashing are where many top-floor leaks begin. We repoint, rebuild and reflash.
Learn moreCracked clay tile, loose stone and rusted metal caps let water straight into the top of a wall. We reset, replace and flash coping.
Learn moreBase flashing, counter flashing and pitch pockets fail long before the open field of the roof does. Often the most cost-effective fix on a building.
Learn moreStep flashing, counter flashing and crowns where brick meets roof, repaired so the chimney stops feeding water into the top floor.
Learn moreStair and elevator bulkheads have their own roofs, walls and door sills, and each one leaks. We roof, flash and seal them as a unit.
Learn moreLeaking curbs, cracked domes and rusted roof hatches repaired or replaced, with the curb flashed into the roof properly.

Shingle, slate, metal and mansard work, from Long Island colonials to rowhouse roofs the Landmarks Commission has a say over.

Missing tabs, valley leaks and lifted ridge caps on pitched roofs, matched as closely as the age of the roof allows.
Learn moreTear-off to the deck, ice barrier at the eaves and valleys, and architectural shingles fastened to the maker's nailing pattern.
Learn moreSlipped and broken slates replaced one at a time with matching stone and proper hooks or nails, so a slate roof keeps its long life.
Learn moreStanding seam, copper and flat-seam metal installed and repaired on pitched roofs, mansards, dormers and bay tops.

Learn moreRusted and loose pressed-metal cornices resecured, patched or rebuilt in sections, with the roof edge behind them made watertight.

Roof water has to go somewhere. We keep the path from the roof edge to the ground working.

Gutters, leaders and built-in box gutters cleared, resealed, rehung or replaced so roof water leaves the building instead of entering it.
Learn moreVinyl and fiber cement siding repaired after storms or replaced, with the trim and flashing details that keep water out of the wall.
Learn moreRotted fascia boards and damaged soffits replaced and capped, so gutters hang from something solid and the eaves stay sealed and vented.

For owners, boards and managing agents who want to know the state of a roof before it becomes an emergency.

A written roof condition report with photos: what needs doing now, what can wait, and what to budget for.
Learn moreFor buildings with a street-facing parapet: a yearly up-close look, a written observation report, and repair of anything unsafe.

Learn moreRoof work planned around boards, managing agents and residents: written proposals, phased schedules and plain answers at the meeting.
Learn moreHow the services fit together
Roofs rarely fail in one neat category. A leak can start at a parapet, travel under a membrane and show up beside a skylight. That is why the same crew that repairs a seam also checks the flashing, the drain and the coping around it, and why an inspection covers all of it at once.
Not sure where to start? Book an inspection, or call (929) 632-1136 and describe what you are seeing.

Questions we hear
Start with roof leak repair, or emergency roof repair if water is coming in right now. The leak is traced to its source first, and the source decides which kind of repair it is.
Yes. Flat roofs on rowhouses, walk-ups, co-ops and commercial buildings in the city, and shingle, slate and metal roofs on houses across Long Island.
Often. A leak call can include flashing, drain and parapet work, and an inspection covers every part of the roof. You get one plan rather than separate visits.
Where published regional figures exist, the service page gives them as planning ranges with the source's caveats. An exact price comes after the roof is seen.
Call and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you what it is likely to be and what happens next.
