Repairs We Handle Every Week
- Roof leaks, traced to the actual source, not just patched where the stain shows up (water travels; the leak is rarely directly above the stain)
- Missing, cracked, or wind-lifted shingles, common after any nor'easter or gusty front pushes through the borough
- Flashing failures at chimneys, skylights, and sidewalls, the single most common leak source on older Staten Island homes
- Ice dam damage, water forced up under shingles at the eaves during freeze-thaw cycles every winter
- Pipe boot and vent leaks, cracked rubber boots around plumbing vents fail quietly and leak straight into bathrooms
- Sagging or spongy roof sections, decking assessment and targeted structural repair
Repair or Replace? An Honest Answer
Here's the standard we use: if your roof is under roughly 15 years old and the damage is localized, repair is almost always the right call. If the roof is 20+ and problems keep appearing in new places, putting repair money into it is throwing good money after bad, you're better off reading our roof replacement guide and getting a replacement quote to compare.
Either way, the inspection is free and you'll get photos of exactly what we find on your roof, so the recommendation is based on evidence you can see, not a sales pitch.
What Roof Repairs Cost
Most common Staten Island roof repairs, a handful of shingles, a pipe boot, a flashing reseal, run $350–$1,500. Larger repairs involving decking replacement or chimney flashing rebuilds typically run $1,500–$4,000. You'll get a firm written price after the free inspection, before any work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you fix a leak?
Active leaks get priority scheduling, usually same-day or next-day anywhere on Staten Island. Call (929) 266-6569 and describe what you're seeing.
My ceiling has a water stain but I can't see roof damage. What now?
That's typical, water enters at one point and travels along rafters before showing up. A proper inspection traces it back to the true source, which is often flashing or a pipe boot rather than the shingles themselves.
Is a repair worth it on an older roof?
If the roof is 20+ years old, we'll tell you honestly whether a repair buys you real time or just delays the inevitable. Sometimes a $500 repair gets you three more good years; sometimes it's wasted money. You'll get the straight answer either way.
Do you repair roofs in winter?
Yes. Ice dam damage and winter leaks can't wait for spring. Shingle work has some temperature constraints, but leak repairs, tarping, and flashing work happen year-round.
