The final walkthrough was more useful than I expected. We reviewed what had been done, the areas that might need normal maintenance, and the paperwork we would receive. I pointed out one cosmetic issue, and it was adjusted before the crew left. Nothing felt rushed at the end. We finished the project with our questions answered.

I’m really happy with the work NY Roofing did on my roof replacement. One of my biggest concerns with the old roof was how long water would sit after it rained. They added a slope beneath the new surface to help guide the water toward the drain, and I’ve noticed a big improvement. After a very heavy storm, a small amount of water may still collect in one area, but it drains away the same day instead of sitting there for a week. I appreciate the care they took to address the problem and the realistic results they delivered. Overall, I’m very pleased with my new roof and glad I chose NY Roofing for the job.

The biggest problem with my old roof was how long water remained after it rained.  NY Roofing added slope beneath the new surface so more of it would reach the drain. There is still a small shallow area after a very heavy storm, but it disappears the same day instead of sitting there all week. That feels like a realistic improvement rather than an exaggerated promise. Overall, Im pleased with the replacement.

Weather changed the schedule more than once. That was frustrating, but I understood why the work couldn’t be completed safely in poor conditions. We received revised dates instead of being left wondering what was happening. Once the weather cooperated, the full roof replacement project moved quickly. The delay did not affect the final result and everything was handled well

Everything went smoothly from the initial appointment onward. The NY Roofing team communicated well and followed through on everything outlined in the replacement plan. They were respectful of the property and easy to speak with. The workmanship appears clean and carefully completed. I am happy to recommend them.

A small rooftop greenhouse made our flat-roof replacement unusual. The greenhouse curb stayed in place, but the membrane around it had failed at two corners and water was reaching the room below. Condensation inside the greenhouse was evaluated separately from rain entry around its base.
The plants and movable equipment were relocated before roofing began. Glass panels were protected while the old membrane and wet insulation were removed from the greenhouse perimeter. The main roof was replaced at the same time because it showed widespread seam deterioration.
One deck section required repair beside the greenhouse entrance. New tapered insulation directed water away from the curb, and compatible membrane flashing was extended to the required height. The door threshold was also integrated into the new work.
A small spot of primer ended up on the lower greenhouse frame. It was cleaned before curing, and the glass protection remained in place until the final inspection. The plants returned after the specified waiting period.
The greenhouse still produces normal interior humidity, but rain no longer reaches the room below. The distinction between condensation and roof leakage made the final result easier to evaluate.

The leak that finally pushed us to replace the roof did not happen during rain. It appeared while old snow was melting, right in the center of the upstairs hallway. That location made no sense from below because there was no drain, pipe, or visible roof penetration above it.
The roof inspection found a rectangular outline beneath several layers of coating. Records from a previous owner did not mention it, but a test opening confirmed that an old skylight had been covered instead of properly removed. Moisture had spread from that area into the surrounding insulation.
We were offered a repair that would open and rebuild the former skylight location. The complete replacement option addressed the wet insulation, aging membrane, low area near the rear drain, and multiple coats hiding older repairs. Since the documented roof age was already approaching 18 years, we selected replacement.
Tear-off revealed that the skylight opening had been closed with uneven pieces of wood supported only at the edges. The opening was reframed and sheathed properly, and four additional damaged deck boards were replaced nearby. New tapered insulation created a smoother path toward the drain before the modified-bitumen system and parapet flashing were installed.
The afternoon update on the main tear-off day arrived much later than promised, which was stressful because the weather was changing. Everything had already been secured, but a simple message would have prevented the concern. Communication was much more consistent for the remaining work.
The rear yard, hatch stairs, and neighboring side passage were cleaned at completion. A few coating fragments were found behind an outdoor storage box and removed during the walkthrough. We received photographs showing the original skylight opening, new framing, decking, insulation, and finished membrane.
The roof has now gone through another winter thaw and several long rains. The hallway ceiling remains dry, and water no longer sits behind the rear drain. The most valuable part of the project was finally turning a hidden patch into a documented, structurally closed roof section.

Our rooftop terrace used concrete pavers on adjustable pedestals rather than a wood deck. The membrane beneath them could not be inspected fully until the pavers were lifted, although recurring moisture below the terrace suggested the old roof had failed. The removal plan mattered because we hoped to reuse most of the pavers. Each paver was marked and moved to a protected staging area. Once exposed, the membrane showed punctures beneath several tilted pedestals and wet insulation around the drain. The deck itself required only one localized repair. New insulation and membrane were installed with a clearer route toward the drain. Protective pads were placed beneath the reset pedestals, and a removable paver section now identifies the drain-access point. The terrace layout changed slightly to keep that area usable. Two pavers cracked during removal. That possibility had been discussed beforehand, and matching replacements were supplied before the terrace reopened. Some dust remained on the parapet walls and was washed down during the final visit. The terrace has been back in use for several months, and the room below remains dry. Water can be checked at the drain without dismantling a large portion of the surface. Reusing most of the pavers kept the finished appearance familiar while giving the concealed roof a complete replacement.

Fragments from deteriorating masonry on the taller neighboring building in Flatbush had punctured our flat roof in several places. Temporary repairs stopped the active leaks, but replacing the membrane before the adjacent wall was stabilized would have exposed the new roof to the same damage. The masonry work therefore had to come first. After the neighboring wall was repaired, the roof received a new inspection and moisture testing. Wet insulation extended beyond two punctures, while other impact areas had not penetrated fully. We selected complete replacement with NY Roofing Brooklyn because the existing membrane was already worn and heavily patched. The deck remained structurally sound throughout the affected zone. New insulation, membrane, parapet flashing, and protective walkway material were installed after the masonry phase ended. Photographs documented both the impact damage and the bare deck. Masonry dust continued to fall for part of the first roofing day and had to be cleaned before installation proceeded. That slowed the start but prevented debris from being trapped in the new system. The neighboring access agreement also added a few scheduling calls. Several months later, the membrane remains undamaged and the former interior leaks are dry. Sequencing the masonry before the roofing was inconvenient, but it prevented a new roof from becoming another temporary repair.

Our building has three flat-roof levels, but only the lowest section was failing. The upper roofs were replaced more recently and remained dry, while the lower membrane had open seams, wet insulation, and repeated damage where runoff landed from above. We wanted each level evaluated separately. The proposal replaced the lower section and retained both upper roofs. A new conductor carried runoff from the highest level to the lower drain instead of allowing it to discharge freely onto the membrane. The landing area received additional protection for the water that still reached that roof. Removal found one deteriorated deck section near the lower drain. The wood quantity was documented before insulation and membrane installation continued. Flashing at the height transitions was rebuilt rather than coated again. Some materials remained staged on the middle roof for an extra day after the lower section was complete. Nothing was damaged, but we asked that the load be removed before a scheduled equipment visit. It was cleared that afternoon. Later rain confirmed that the new conductor was directing water as intended. The lower roof drains faster, and the two serviceable upper roofs were left out of the replacement scope.
