Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof repair cost in Brooklyn?
Most roof repairs in Brooklyn range from $350 to $1,800 depending on access, materials, and damage extent. Common repairs (5–10 missing shingles, flashing patch, small leak fix) usually run $450–$850. Larger repairs involving decking replacement or multiple problem areas can run $1,200–$2,500. We provide a free written estimate before any work begins.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Repair makes sense if your roof is under 15 years old, the damage is localized, and the rest of the roof is in good condition. Replace if your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple leaks, has widespread granule loss, or shows sagging. We give you an honest answer at the inspection — we never push replacement when a repair will do.
How fast can you fix a roof leak?
For active leaks in Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Manhattan we typically arrive within 2 hours, any time, and offer 24/7 emergency tarping. The permanent repair is usually completed within 24–48 hours of the inspection.
What are the most common causes of roof leaks?
In NYC, the top causes are: failed flashing around chimneys and skylights (40% of leaks), missing or curled shingles from wind damage (25%), clogged gutters causing backup (15%), worn-out roofing past lifespan (15%), and ice dams in winter (5%).
Will a roof leak get worse if I wait?
Yes — almost always, and quickly. A small leak today becomes mold, rotted decking, ruined insulation, and ceiling damage within weeks. Tarping costs $250–$400 and stops further damage immediately. Always tarp first, then plan the permanent repair.
Do you repair flat roofs?
Yes — EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, and built-up tar & gravel. See our flat roof page for full details.
Do you work with insurance for roof repair?
Yes. If your damage is from a covered storm or event, we document everything and meet adjusters on-site. See our insurance claim page for details.
