When Replacement Beats Repair
We always recommend repair when it's the right answer. These are the situations where a full roof replacement is the smarter, more cost-effective decision for Brooklyn homeowners.
Your Roof Is 20–30+ Years Old
Asphalt shingles typically last 20–25 years in NYC's climate. Flat roofs 15–20 years. If your roof is approaching or past these thresholds, repeated repairs become a money pit — each fix reveals the next weak point.
Multiple Active Leaks in Different Areas
One leak is a repair. Leaks appearing in three or more separate locations in the same season signals the overall membrane or shingle field is failing. Patching individually costs more over time than a full replacement.
Granule Loss & Widespread Shingle Damage
Heavy granule loss in gutters, cracked or curling shingles across more than 30% of the surface, and widespread blistering mean the shingle field no longer protects the deck underneath. Repairs at this stage are cosmetic.
Skyrocketing Repair Costs
If you've spent $2,000+ on repairs in the last 2 years and the leaks keep returning, replacement math starts to favor a new roof. We'll do the honest math with you at your estimate — no pressure toward the larger job.
Sagging Deck or Structural Issues
A sagging roof deck means water has compromised the plywood or board sheathing underneath the surface material. This requires full replacement of both the roof covering and the damaged decking below.
Planning to Sell or Refinance
A new roof increases appraised value, satisfies home inspection requirements, and removes a major negotiation point for buyers. In Brooklyn's market, a roof in end-of-life condition routinely triggers price reductions of $15,000–$40,000.

What Makes Our Replacements Different
A roof replacement is the largest single maintenance investment most Brooklyn homeowners make. The difference between a contractor who does it right and one who cuts corners shows up — it's just whether it shows up in year 2 or year 12.
Brooklyn-Born, Brooklyn-Based
We've operated exclusively in Brooklyn since 2013. We know the borough's pre-war building stock, its parapet styles, its flat-roof drainage challenges, and its neighborhood permit requirements inside and out.
Our Crew — No Subcontractors
Every replacement is completed by our own full-time employees, not subcontractors hired for the job. You get the same experienced team from tear-off to final inspection, with consistent quality and accountability.
Permit Management Included
NYC roof replacement projects often require DOB permits and filings. We handle all of it — from application to sign-off — at no added hassle to you. We've filed hundreds of NYC permits and know what inspectors look for.
Dual Warranty Protection
You get two warranties: our 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation defects, plus manufacturer warranties on materials — up to 50 years on shingles and 20 years on commercial membranes.
We Find Problems Before They Find You
During every tear-off, we inspect the deck for rot, check flashing attachment points, and assess drainage. If we find rotted sheathing or structural issues, we document them, show you, and repair them as part of the project.
Transparent Pricing, Zero Change Orders
Our proposal is fixed-price. If we encounter unexpected deck damage, we document it, show you photos, and get your approval before adding any cost. No one-sided change orders. No invoice surprises.
