Why leaks come back
We fix the cause, not just the stain
Most repeat leaks happen because someone smeared roofing cement over the spot that was wet. Water usually gets in somewhere else: a cracked pipe boot, failed chimney flashing, a lifted shingle up the slope.
We check the roof and the attic, photograph what we find, and repair it with proper materials: new flashing, new decking where it's rotted, and shingles or membrane that tie in with what's already there.

What we repair
Common roof repairs on Staten Island homes
Roof leaks
We trace the water back to where it actually gets in, which is often feet away from the stain on your ceiling.
Flashing
Chimneys, walls, valleys and dormers. Failed or caulked-over flashing causes more leaks than anything else.
Pipe boots and vents
Cracked rubber boots and loose vents let rain run straight down the pipe into the house.
Missing or damaged shingles
Blown off in a nor'easter, cracked by age or lifted by wind. Matched as closely as possible.
Flat roof leaks
Split seams, blisters, punctures and ponding on rowhouses, extensions and garages.
Rotted roof decking
Soft spots and sagging boards cut out and replaced with new plywood before the roof is closed up.
Skylight leaks
Resealed and reflashed, or replaced if the unit itself has failed.
Storm and tree damage
Tarped the same day when we can, then repaired properly once it's dry.
Real repairs, real photos
What a proper roof repair looks like
These photos come from our own jobs. Every repair gets documented like this, and you get the photos.
We open the roof around the leak to find where water is really getting in. Here, around a vent pipe. 
Wet, rotted decking is cut out and replaced with new plywood. Covering it up would only hide the problem. 
New underlayment and flashing go in before the shingles, layered so water runs over the joints, not into them.
Chimney flashing rebuilt along the brick: one of the most common leak points on Staten Island homes. 
Flat roof repair: damaged deck replaced before the new membrane goes down.

Repair or replace?
We'll tell you honestly
A repair is usually the right call when the damage is in one area and the roof still has years left.
When a roof is past about 20 years, shedding granules and leaking in more than one place, patching it becomes money you won't get back. In that case we'll show you why and give you both prices.
Usually a repair
- One leak or one damaged area
- Roof under about 15 years old
- Flashing or pipe boot failure
- A few shingles blown off
Time to consider replacing
- Roof over about 20 years old
- Leaks in several places, or coming back
- Curling, cracked shingles everywhere
- Soft or sagging deck in many spots

FAQ
Roof repair questions
How fast can you fix a roof leak?
We contact you within 24 hours. Many leaks are repaired the same day, depending on the weather and how much damage there is. If water is coming in right now, call (718) 981-7663: emergency service runs 24/7.
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
If the damage is limited to one area and the roof is under about 15 years old, a repair is usually the better value. If the roof is older and leaks keep coming back in different places, replacement often costs less over time. We show you photos and tell you honestly; see our roof replacement page for the signs.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. The inspection and written estimate are free, with no obligation.
Can you match my existing shingles?
We match color and style as closely as possible. Older shingles fade, so a new patch can look slightly different at first and blends in over time. If a perfect match matters, we'll tell you before we start.
Do you repair flat roofs too?
Yes: seams, blisters, punctures, ponding and flashing on TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen and older built-up roofs. See flat roofing.
Do your repairs come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our repair work comes with a workmanship guarantee, and we use manufacturer-approved materials. We explain exactly what's covered in your written estimate.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for the repair?
It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden storm or tree damage is often covered; wear and age usually aren't. We document the damage with photos you can send to your insurer.
Which areas do you cover?
Every Staten Island neighborhood from our storefront at 145 Cedar Ave, plus Brooklyn and much of New Jersey. See where we work on Staten Island.
