Roofing Services We Offer in Queens, NY

• Roof Leak Detection & Repair – Regardless of the size of your roof, our roof repair and leak diagnostic methods will help identify and repair your roofing issues.
• Roof Replacement/Re-Roofing – Does your roof need to be re-roofed or a full roof replacement? Our re-roofing service in Queens is the least expensive and fastest way to restore your roof’s appearance. The downside to re-roofing is that there is no guarantee it will last as long as replacing the entire roof. With a roof replacement, the roof is completely replaced. The old roofing is removed from the roof, exposing the deck. Then roofing materials are applied to the deck to act as a barrier against snow and rain from entering inside. The new roofing is installed on top of the materials. As a result, you have a new roof installed that lasts for 20 years or longer.
• New Roof Installation – We install all types of roofs including Asphalt Shingles, Flat Roof Membrane, Tile roofs (Slate tile, Cedar Shake, Spanish), Metal Roofing, Standing Seam Aluminum & Copper Work.
• Commercial Roof Installation – Don’t just hire any roofing repair company in Queens. If you want your roof repaired and installed properly, hire a team with years of experience in commercial roofing.

What Are The Most Common Roof Problems Homeowners Encounter?

Here are a few of the top roofing problems that Queens residents and business owners face:

Poor Maintenance

Ignoring or missing a small amount of roof deterioration at the beginning stages. This is why we recommend regular roofing maintenance to help prevent major roofing problems in the future.

Wind & Storm Damage

Hurricanes, mild tropical storms, heavy rain, and strong winds can cause damage to your flashing and roof shingles. Lifting or missing can also lead to roof leaks.

Failed Flashing

Flashings are the roof’s most vulnerable part. They provide water-tight junctions between roofing materials and roof projections or sections. Flashing issues lead to many roof problems and the result in leaks.

Weathering

The most robust roofing materials can deteriorate from salts in the air, exposure to weather, and contaminants.

Design faults

An example of this would be a lack of proper drainage, sagging or soft roofing structure.

Roofing Jobs We Successfully Completed in Queens, NY

Within the last year, Roof Leak Enders completed a job in Forest Hills, which is located in Queens County, New York. The customer reported that the flat roof over the sunroom in had an ongoing roof leak. Our project manager evaluated the job and located the source of the leak as coming from the seams in the flat roof. The flat roof was not pitched correctly and rain water was pooling on the flat roof causing the roofing membrane to crack and erode.

In addition, our project manager noticed that the flat roof railing fence was damaged. In many cases, we will attempt to seal the damaged area, but in this case the roof was too far gone and it was determined that a new roof was necessary. Our technicians first addressed the improper pitch of the flat roof by building up the flat roof with insulation material. We then installed new plywood over the insulation and installed a new flat roof membrane. All of the flashing was replaced with new copper flashing so that the water would properly drain from the flat roof and into the gutter and not behind the gutter and back into the house. At this point we made repairs to the roof railing and replaced certain sections. In the section where the roof met the wall of the existing house, we cut in new copper flashing and flashed the flat roof to the house itself. The leak was solved and the roof work was guaranteed.

Approximately six months ago, a customer from Astoria in Queens County, New York called for us to evaluate a roof leak. The home had a pitched roof with asphalt shingles. As is typical in some of these cases, the homeowner was reporting that the roof leak was not always occurring but only during certain weather patterns. We dispatched a two-man crew to water test the roof. We occasionally water test roofs when the immediate source of a roof leak is not readily identifiable. In this case, it became pretty clear that the source of the roof leak was the plumbing vent pipe that was projecting through the roof. Plumbing roof pipes or plumbing roof vents as they are known, are a common source of roof leaks in Queens County, New York. The solution to this problem was to remove the “boot” or rubber membrane that is meant to provide waterproof protection and replace the rubber boot. We then conducted a follow up water test and confirmed that this was the source of the leak. Many roof problems are not this simple; however, this roof leak solution provided a quick and easy fix to a roof leak in Astoria!

Last year, we did a job for a homeowner located in the Flushing Whitestone section of Queens, NY. They had a persistent roof leak problem that was ongoing over several months. The homeowner told us that they had numerous roofing companies in Queens that were not specialized in roof leaks to evaluate the roof.

Our project manager and service technicians went out and evaluated the job. After careful inspection, we determined that the roof was leaking because the gutters were filling with rain water and backing up behind the fascia board into the attic space and down into the customers bedroom. The other roofing teams did not take the time to inspect the gutters and downspouts and were simply looking at the roofing. All of the downspouts on the one side of the house that was experiencing the roof leak, were fully and totally blocked with debris. Our technicians flushed and snaked out all the downspouts and cleaned them thoroughly. They were required to disassemble certain sections of downspout or leader and immediately alleviated the problem. As a secondary measure, we recommended the installation of gutter guards for this house in Queens, New York. The gutter guards will ensure that no debris will gain entry into the gutter or downspout again. Another happy customer!

A longtime customer had a tree damage the roof valley of her home in South Ozone Park, New York, causing a prominent roof leak. Upon getting up on the roof, it was immediately clear that the valley, where two sections of roof meet was severely damaged from falling branches. We removed all the debris from the roof, and opened up the section that was damaged in the roof valley. Our team, installed new water and ice shield after replacing the damage sections of plywood underlayment. The technicians then installed new asphalt shingles and new flashing in the roof valley. The life of this roof was preserved by several decades by making this roof repair in Queens, NY.

In Jamaica, New York, we I had a common roof leak job: a leaking skylight. Unfortunately, skylights are a frequent source of roof leaks. In many cases, depending on the age and condition of the skylight, it requires us to remove the old skylight and install a new one with new roofing and flashing to waterproof it. However, in this case, the skylight was in excellent condition and the roof was fairly new. We determine that the best solution would be to open the roof area surrounding the skylight. After doing that, we noticed a lot of water marks and rusty nails. These are clear telltale signs of water penetration where it should not be, resulting from faulty workmanship.  We removed further around the leaking section until we stopped seeing signs of water damage, installed new flashing and new water and ice shield. We then re-shingled the section of roof surrounding the skylight and the leak was eliminated.
