What we do for homes
Pick the service that matches where your roof is today. Each page explains the process, what affects the price and what to ask before you hire anyone.
A full new roof when repairs no longer make sense. Clear written price, 1 to 2 days for most shingle roofs.
Residential roof replacement →From a few lifted shingles to flashing, vents and a full section rebuild. We fix the cause, not just the stain.
Roof repair →Nor'easter took part of the roof? We secure it fast and document the damage for your insurance claim.
Storm damage repair →Catch lifted flashing, granule loss and soft spots before they turn into a leak. Useful when buying or selling.
Roof inspections →Pay a little each year instead of a lot every ten. Cleaning, small repairs and early checks that extend roof life.
Roof maintenance →Installation, cleaning, guards and repair, so water leaves your roof the way it should.
Gutter services →Built for Staten Island
A roof that does fine inland can age faster here. Knowing the local conditions changes which materials and details we recommend.
Salt air speeds up corrosion on flashing, nails and metal edges, especially on shoreline and South Shore blocks. We use materials and details meant to resist it.
Strong coastal storms lift shingles that would hold fine further inland. Proper nailing, starter strips and sealed edges matter more here.
Many island homes have older roofs and decking. We check the wood under the shingles so a new roof is not laid over a weak base.
Narrow driveways, shared walls and close neighbors affect staging, debris and flashing details. We plan for them and protect your property.
Roofing materials
There is no single best roof. The right one depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay and the look of your home. Here is the honest short version.
The default for most Staten Island homes. 3-tab lasts about 15 to 20 years, architectural about 25 to 30 and premium 30 or more.
Best for: most homes and budgets
Asphalt shingle roofing →Higher upfront cost, but it handles wind and salt air well and lasts a long time. Worth a look if you plan to stay.
Best for: long-term owners, harsh exposure
Metal roofing →Classic look and excellent durability, but tile is heavy and less common here. We check the structure first.
Best for: homes built to carry the weight
Tile roofing →Beautiful natural wood that needs more upkeep than the others. We are upfront about maintenance before you commit.
Best for: owners who value the look
Cedar shake roofing →Not sure which fits? A free estimate comes with a straight answer. Or read our roof lifespan guide.
Good to know
If a project replaces or repairs a large share of your roof, roughly more than 25% of the surface, NYC's Department of Buildings generally requires a permit. People get three quotes, pick the cheapest, and only later learn nobody pulled one.
Rules can change, so we confirm what applies to your specific job and handle the paperwork as part of the work, instead of leaving it to you.
Ask Us About Your Project✓ Does the quote include any permit that applies?
✓ Who files it, you or the contractor?
✓ Is the contractor licensed? Ours is HIC #2120969-DCWP, and you can check it with the city.
✓ Can you see the warranty terms in writing before you sign?

FAQ
A full asphalt shingle replacement on a typical home runs about $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on size, pitch, materials and decking condition. See our roofing costs guide or request a free written estimate.
Most shingle roofs take 1 to 2 days once work starts. Large or complex rooflines and bad weather can add time. Your estimate includes a schedule. Details on our residential roof replacement page.
As a rule of thumb, if less than about a quarter of the roof is damaged and the structure underneath is sound, a repair usually makes sense. Past that, or if the roof is around 20 years old, replacement tends to be the better value. Our inspection will tell you honestly.
NYC's Department of Buildings generally requires one when the work covers a large share of the roof, roughly more than 25%. A small single-section repair usually does not. We tell you where your project falls before we start.
Yes, we are open 24/7. We can secure the roof and document the damage, which also helps an insurance claim. See storm damage repair.
For most homes, architectural asphalt shingles give the best balance of price and durability. Metal suits long-term owners and harsh exposure, tile needs a structure that can carry the weight, and cedar shake needs the most upkeep. See asphalt shingle roofing and metal roofing.
We install GAF shingles, from standard to premium lines, and help you choose based on budget and how long you plan to stay in the home.
