Signs we ask about
When patching your building's roof stops paying off
Replacement makes sense once the whole roof is failing, not one corner of it. These are the signs we ask about on the phone:
- Leaks in several places, with patches that no longer hold
- Wet insulation under the membrane, which a core cut confirms
- Seams or sheets lifted by wind, often after a storm (our storm damage work covers that)
- The roof covering is at the end of its service life
One failure on an otherwise sound roof is a repair job. In that case, a targeted flat roof repair costs far less.
Matching the roof covering to your building
Your building type and roof slope narrow the choice quickly.

What happens after you call us
Every commercial roof replacement we quote follows the same five steps.
-
Inspection and core check
We walk the roof and cut a core to see the layers. Here is what the inspection checks before we quote.
-
Written free estimate
The estimate names the system, the material used and the price.
-
Tear-off
The old roof comes off down to the deck, and we show you any rotted decking first.
-
Installation
Insulation goes down, then the membrane or panels, then flashing at walls, curbs and drains.
-
Cleanup and haul-away
Every scrap leaves with us.
Gravel, taxes and staying open
The gravel shields the bitumen from sun and holds it down in wind. Without it, the asphalt dries out and cracks.
A full replacement is usually capitalized, while a repair is usually expensed. Confirm with your accountant. For budgeting, see the full replacement price range in Queens.
Yes, in most cases. We work section by section, so the building is covered every night.
