Who we serve
A row house, a six-storey co-op and a warehouse are three different trades sharing a name. What changes is the access, the documentation, who has to approve the spend, and who is underneath while the work happens.
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.
Low-slope membrane roofs carrying rooftop equipment, with tenants underneath who cannot lose a working day. Most of this work happens before nine or after six.
Large single-ply and built-up roofs where the economics are about extending life, not replacing everything at once. Coatings, seam work and a planned schedule.
Steep slate, steeples, towers and gutters that were installed before anyone alive can remember. Careful access, a scope written for a volunteer committee, and phased work where a budget needs it.
One point of contact, photographs with every invoice, certificates of insurance on file before we arrive, and reporting a managing agent can hand upward without rewriting it.
For boards and managing agents
Most of what makes commercial and multi-family roofing difficult is not the roofing. It is that somebody has to justify the spend to somebody else, usually in a room, usually without the roofer present.
So we write for that room. A plain-English summary on the first page, photographs of every finding, priorities separated into urgent, this year and watch, and real budget ranges rather than a single alarming number.
Whatever the building
Somebody climbs it. It gets photographed. You get told what is actually wrong, in writing, with a price — before anyone starts.
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.
For any building
Houses, co-ops, retail, offices, warehouses and community buildings. The survey and the written report cost nothing and are yours whether or not you use us for the work.
