Roof Replacement

Roof replacement for New York City homes

When a roof has been patched again and again, leaks in more than one place, or has simply reached the end of its life, a full replacement is the repair that lasts. We inspect first, show you exactly why, and only then write a scope.

When replacement makes sense

  • Leaks that keep coming back after repairs, in more than one spot.
  • Soft or sagging areas that point to a damaged roof deck underneath.
  • Shingles that are curling, cracked or losing their granules across the whole roof.
  • A flat roof with widespread blistering, cracking or ponding water.
  • You are selling the home, refinancing, or planning solar and need a sound roof first.

What a replacement includes

  • Removal of the old roofing down to the deck, with the debris hauled away.
  • A close look at the deck, with damaged boards or sheathing called out before we replace them.
  • New underlayment, flashing at chimneys, walls and vents, and proper edge details.
  • A new roofing system suited to your roof: shingles on pitched roofs, a membrane system on flat roofs.
  • Permits pulled for the contracted scope, and a clean site when we leave.

We will tell you honestly if your roof can still be repaired. If a repair buys you real time, we say so. Our rule is simple: the work you must do comes first, the work you want comes second.

Questions homeowners ask

How much does a roof replacement cost?

Every roof is different, so we never quote a price over the phone. We inspect first, measure, and give you a written price for your specific roof.

Do you pull permits?

Yes. Work done without a permit for the contracted scope is one of the most common problems we see, and we do not do it.

Is there a warranty?

The roofing systems we install carry a 20 year manufacturer warranty. Ask us for the details for your system at your inspection.

Can I finance a new roof?

Yes, financing is available. Ask about 0% APR options when we visit.
