FAQ
Flat Roofing Questions Answered
How long does a flat roof replacement take?
For a typical 2,000-3,000 sq ft Brooklyn brownstone or multi-family building, expect 3-5 days for complete tear-off and replacement. We work weather-permitting and always secure your building if work must pause overnight.
What's the best flat roofing material for NYC buildings?
EPDM rubber membrane is our most recommended option for NYC’s climate. It handles extreme temperature swings, is highly resistant to UV damage, and can last 50+ years with proper maintenance. TPO is excellent for buildings prioritizing energy efficiency.
Do you handle DOB permits?
Yes. We file all necessary permits with the NYC Department of Buildings and coordinate inspections. For larger projects, we work with expeditors to ensure timely approval. We also help clear HPD roof-related violations.
Can you work around rooftop HVAC equipment?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience working around compressors, air handlers, ductwork, and other rooftop mechanicals. Proper curb flashing and membrane terminations around equipment are critical—and our specialty.
What warranty do you offer?
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on all flat roof installations. Manufacturer warranties on materials range from 15-30 years depending on the system. We’ll help you understand exactly what’s covered.
Do you offer emergency leak repair?
Yes. We respond to emergency calls within hours, not days. Active leaks threatening tenant units or causing interior damage are our priority. Call (347) 228-2182 anytime—we monitor 24/7.
