Roofing contractors · Woodside, Queens
Roof replacement, roof leak fixes, flat and low-slope systems, slate and metal, storm damage, gutters and ventilation across western Queens since 1994. A free measured survey, a written scope with one fixed price, our own crews rather than subcontractors, and a 24-hour emergency line answered by a person who will get a tarp on your roof before anyone talks about money.
Why customers stay
There is no shortage of people in Queens who will put shingles on a roof. These are the four reasons customers give when we ask them why they called us back.
A leak call placed on a weekday morning is almost always looked at the same day. After hours the phone is answered by a person in Woodside, not a call centre that takes a message and hopes somebody rings you back in the morning.
You get the measured roof area, the build-up we propose, what happens if we open it up and find rotted decking, and one number — before a single shingle is lifted. No hourly meter, no discovery of a second problem halfway through that doubles the bill.
A licensed contractor stands behind the work, we carry liability and workers' compensation, and the workmanship warranty is handed to you as a document at the end of the job rather than described to you on the phone at the beginning.
The people on your roof are employees who have worked together for years, not a crew a broker found this morning. Several of them have re-roofed the same Woodside blocks twice over a career.
What we do
Everything below is done by roofers who work here, on our own trucks, under our own foreman. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor and nobody is paid a commission on what you buy.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A complete tear-off and rebuild with a fixed price, a written scope, and the decking priced before we ever open the roof.

Leaks & Repairs
Finding where the water actually gets in — proven with a hose test, not guessed at — and then fixing that, once.

Leaks & Repairs
Tarped and made safe around the clock — we stop the water first and estimate in daylight, when the roof can actually be assessed.

Roof Replacement & Installation
Single-ply, modified bitumen and built-up roofs for the flat tops of Queens — where every failure is at a seam, a drain or a penetration.

Leaks & Repairs
Wind, hail and impact damage assessed and documented properly at the time of loss — which is what makes a claim straightforward.

Maintenance & Protection
Seamless gutters, downspouts, leaders and roof drains — because most 'roof leaks' in Queens are water that could not get away.

Water comes through the roof at one point, runs along a rafter for ten or fifteen feet, and drops through your ceiling somewhere else entirely. That is why sealing whatever is directly above the stain so often achieves nothing, and why almost every leak we attend has already been “fixed” at least once.
We work from the attic outwards with a torch held low across the timber, and where that is not possible we hose-test one small area at a time from the bottom of the roof up, with somebody inside watching. It is slow and it is the only method that proves anything — which is also why we can put a written warranty on the repair.
How it works
Five steps, and you know the price before step four.
Tell us what you are seeing — a stain, a dripping ceiling, missing shingles after a storm, or simply a roof you know is at the end of its life. If water is coming in right now, say so and we will treat it as an emergency.
Someone climbs it. We measure it, look inside the attic where there is one, photograph everything, and check the parts that actually fail — flashing, valleys, penetrations, drains — rather than glancing at the field of the roof from the pavement.
The report says what is wrong, what we propose, what we are deliberately not doing, and what happens if we open the roof and find rotted decking. The price is fixed and it includes disposal, permits and the clean-up.
Landscaping and cars covered, a magnet run over the ground twice a day, debris in a container rather than on your neighbour's lawn, and a crew who tell you before they need access to anything inside.
A final walk-through with photographs of the details you cannot see from the ground, the workmanship warranty, the material documentation, and any permit sign-off — all of it as documents, at the end, without being chased for them.
Woodside, and the blocks around it
We are on Northern Boulevard, we have been here since 1994, and most of our work is within a couple of miles of the yard. That is not a marketing line — it is why we can tarp a roof at midnight and why we are still the people you call in five years.
We are a licensed home improvement contractor, we carry general liability and workers' compensation, and a certificate of insurance naming your building or managing agent goes out the same day it is asked for. Where the work needs a permit and an inspection, we file for it rather than burying an unpermitted roof under the next thirty years of weather.
Who we work for
The attached and semi-attached brick houses that make up most of Woodside, Sunnyside and Maspeth. Shared party walls, tight side yards, a roof you cannot see from the street, and neighbours whose roof lines meet yours.
Flat roofs, bulkheads, parapets and a board that needs a decision it can minute. We write reports that survive a board meeting and quotes that separate what must be done now from what can wait two budget cycles.
Slate, mansards, ornamental cornices and copper that has spent eighty years going green. Repairs matched to what is already there, rather than a modern build-up bolted onto a period roof.
A shop below and apartments above means a leak is somebody's stock and somebody's living room at the same time. We work around trading hours and we tarp the same night.
In their words
A stain that three people had already sealed
Two other roofers had sealed around the chimney and the stain kept coming back after every heavy rain. Nadia spent an hour in the attic with a hose running outside and found it was the skylight, four feet away, tracking down a rafter. Fixed in a morning after eighteen months of guessing.
The quote said what would happen if the deck was rotten
Every other quote we got was a single number with no explanation. Theirs listed the price per sheet if the decking underneath had gone, so when they found four bad sheets there was no argument and no renegotiation on the day — we already knew the number.
They tarped at eleven at night and estimated on Monday
The wind took a section of the roof off on a Saturday. They had a tarp lashed down before midnight and did not try to sell us anything until the following week, when the roof was dry and we could think straight.
A report our board could actually use
The condition report came with photographs, a plain-English explanation and a ten-year spend forecast. It was the first roofing document in my time on the board that did not need translating before the meeting.

Questions
For a typical Woodside row house or small two-family, an architectural shingle replacement usually lands between $9,000 and $18,000, and a flat roof recover between $7,500 and $16,000, depending on area, how many layers have to come off, and what the decking looks like underneath. /pricing.html sets out the real ranges by roof type and the things that genuinely move the number.
A leak call placed on a weekday morning is almost always seen the same day. If water is actively coming into a living space we treat it as an emergency, come out around the clock, and make it safe with a tarp before we talk about what the permanent repair costs.
Most roofs that people assume are finished are repairable, and we will say so — a repair that buys you five more years is a perfectly good outcome. What genuinely ends a roof is widespread granule loss, brittle shingles that crack when lifted, a deck that flexes underfoot, or a third layer that the code will not let anyone build on.
A straightforward row-house shingle replacement is usually one to two days. A flat roof of similar size is two to three. Slate, copper and anything with significant carpentry or a complicated parapet runs longer, and the written scope always gives you a duration rather than a vague answer.
Where the work requires a permit and an inspection we file for it and see it through to sign-off. Repairs and like-for-like re-covering often do not require one; a structural change, a change of roof type, or work on certain building classes does. Arjun will tell you which category your job falls into before you sign anything.
Yes. For storm and wind damage we document the roof properly at the time of loss — dated photographs, a written scope and measurements — which is what makes a claim straightforward. We do not, however, advise you on your policy or negotiate a settlement on your behalf; that is your adjuster's and your broker's job. /insurance-claims.html explains where the line sits.
Free survey, written quote, fixed price
Tell us what you are seeing and we will tell you honestly whether it needs somebody tonight or whether it will keep until the morning. Surveys and written quotes are free, and leak diagnostics are $145, credited in full against any repair you approve.
