Roof Repair in New York City

What Is Roof Repair?

Roof repair is the targeted fix of failures on an otherwise serviceable roof — patching membranes, re-flashing penetrations, replacing damaged shingles, sealing parapet caps, and clearing or rebuilding drains. In NYC, most repair calls fall into a handful of recurring scenarios: failed flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights; ponding water on aging flat roofs; storm damage from nor'easters and hurricane-season winds; and shingles that have lost granules and started curling after 15–20 years on a Brooklyn or Queens home. A real repair starts with a real diagnosis — finding the actual entry point, not just the visible drip — and then specifying the correct material to bond to whatever is already on the roof.

Signs You Need Roof Repair

• ✓Active leak, water stain or bubbling paint on a top-floor ceiling
• ✓Shingles that are curling, cracked, missing or losing granules

• ✓Visible blisters, splits or bare spots on a flat membrane
• ✓Crumbling parapet wall or loose, cracked parapet cap
• ✓Granules from asphalt shingles collecting in your gutters
• ✓Daylight visible through the roof deck from inside the attic
