Professional Roofing Installation & Replacement

Professional roofing services typically include roof inspections, repairs, full replacements, new roof installations for asphalt shingle, metal, slate and flat-roof systems (EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen), roof coatings, gutter and flashing work, skylight replacement, and emergency leak response.

Look for persistent leaks, widespread missing or curling shingles, significant granule loss, sagging decking, multiple prior patch repairs, or a roof near the end of its expected lifespan; a professional inspection will confirm whether repair or full replacement is recommended.

Timing depends on roof size, materials, complexity, weather, and permit requirements — a simple asphalt shingle replacement on a single-family home can often take 1–3 days, while full tear-offs, flat-roof systems, or multi-story jobs may take several days to one or more weeks.

Many experienced contractors will prepare and submit required permit applications, coordinate inspections, and ensure work meets local building codes — always confirm permit handling and who will be listed as the permit holder before work begins.

Flat and low-slope NYC roofs commonly use TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen; pitched roofs often use architectural asphalt shingles, metal, or slate — the best choice depends on building type, budget, longevity goals, and energy-performance preferences.

Roof replacement costs vary widely based on roof size, accessibility, materials, structural repairs needed, and other job-specific factors; request multiple written estimates and detailed scopes so you can compare true cost and value rather than relying on a single number.

Yes — most manufacturers offer product warranties that can range from limited to decades, and contractors may provide workmanship warranties that vary in length; get both warranty documents in writing and ask what parts of the job each covers.

Homeowner’s insurance may cover sudden storm, wind, or hail damage but usually excludes normal wear and maintenance issues; document damage with photos, contact your insurer promptly, and get a contractor estimate to support any claim.

An inspection typically includes evaluation of roof covering, flashing, gutters, ventilation, attic condition, and structural concerns; inspectors often provide photos, a written condition report, and prioritized repair or replacement recommendations.

Yes — reflective membranes, cool roof coatings, high-albedo shingles, improved insulation, and proper ventilation can reduce heat gain and improve energy efficiency; discuss performance goals and eligible incentives with your contractor.

Many roofing teams provide emergency tarping or temporary repairs to stop active leaks and then schedule permanent repairs or replacement; ask about response time and short-term protections during the initial call.

Verify license and insurance, request references and recent project photos, read independent reviews, ask for a detailed written estimate and timeline, confirm permit and warranty practices, and get proof of workers’ compensation and general liability coverage before hiring.
