The vinyl siding on this three-family building had become brittle enough that individual panels…read morecracked whenever they were removed for repairs. Several sections had also faded differently because replacement panels from multiple years were mixed across the rear elevation. Water staining around two windows suggested that the problems extended beyond appearance. Once the first courses were removed, the sheathing showed localized moisture damage below both window corners. The existing housewrap had been cut short around the openings and did not direct water back over the siding. Eleven damaged plywood sheets were replaced, matching the quantity carried in the allowance. New window flashing was integrated with a continuous weather-resistive barrier before the replacement siding began. Mounting blocks were installed around lights, vents, and hose connections so those components did not rely on caulked holes through the panels. The new vinyl siding was fastened loosely enough to expand and contract without buckling. Work moved one apartment width at a time so the building was never left fully exposed. Rear balconies and the neighboring fence were protected during removal. Broken vinyl, fasteners, and insulation fragments were collected from the courtyard each afternoon. Completion photographs documented the concealed window flashing and sheathing repairs before the new siding covered them.

The rear siding on our small apartment building had cracked in several places and was pulling away…read morebehind the fire escape. Tenants also reported water around one window during storms. Access was awkward, and I was concerned that the final proposal would either ignore the areas behind the fire escape or treat the entire structure as an undefined extra. Royal Roofing and Siding NYC inspected the wall from multiple levels and identified where qualified coordination would be needed around the fire-escape components. The proposal explained the siding work, temporary access requirements, window flashing, weather barrier, sheathing allowance, and responsibility for anything that could not be moved by the siding crew. It was not the shortest estimate, but it was the easiest one to understand. Removing the old siding exposed deterioration beneath the leaking window and behind a dryer vent. The rest of the wall was in better shape. Photographs were sent before repairs began, and the price stayed within the allowance already approved. That saved us from trying to get an emergency decision from several owners while the wall was open. The new weather barrier was integrated around the windows and utility penetrations. The dryer vent received a proper mounting block, and the window was flashed before the replacement vinyl covered the work. Courses were kept level behind the fire escape rather than being pieced together from whatever lengths were easiest to fit. Residents received notice before workers approached their windows. One tenant needed a different day because of an overnight work schedule, and the crew rearranged that section without turning it into a major dispute. The fire-escape route was cleared and checked at the end of each day. There was dust and noise, especially during removal, but the common hallway and rear courtyard were cleaned daily. Management received photos showing the concealed work, which is useful because much of it cannot be inspected now. The tenants were not left wondering when workers would show up outside their bedrooms. The leaking window has remained dry, and the rear wall looks consistent from top to bottom. For me, the positive experience was mostly about coordination. They did not make an occupied building feel like an empty construction site, and they did not use the difficult access as an excuse for vague pricing.

Originally I only called them for a roof inspection because I noticed a water stain forming near…read morethe ceiling of our top-floor apartment. I assumed I was looking at a major roofing project. After inspecting the roof they found a flashing issue around one of the penetrations and showed me exactly where water was getting in. Instead of trying to sell me a full roof replacement, they recommended a targeted repair. The repair was completed within a few days and ended up costing far less than I expected. It's refreshing dealing with a company that's willing to fix the actual problem instead of automatically recommending the most expensive option.

Several contractors either didn't want to deal with it or proposed tearing everything apart. Goldenberg Roofing NYC took a much more thoughtful approach. They performed a thorough inspection and immediately pointed out several drainage and flashing issues that previous contractors had overlooked. They explained everything clearly, provided photos, and laid out a plan that actually made sense. The crew was professional, kept the work area clean, and finished the project on schedule. They carefully worked around the deck structure, addressed the waterproofing issues underneath, and improved the roof's drainage without creating unnecessary work. We've had multiple storms since then and haven't seen a single sign of water intrusion.. It's refreshing to work with a contractor that actually thinks through logistics before starting.

The overflow opening on our apartment building had been covered so many times that I did not know…read moreit existed. Water normally left through one internal drain, but old patches created a depression several feet away from it. During heavy rain, that low area filled and water reached the ceiling of the apartment below. Royal Roofing and Siding Far Rockaway's test openings found wet insulation around the depression and along part of the rear wall. We considered repairing those sections, but the roof contained multiple layers and showed open seams elsewhere. Complete removal gave us a way to address the drainage instead of adding another raised patch. Most of the wood deck was sound. Two sections near the rear wall required replacement, and the quantities were photographed before new boards were installed. Tapered insulation then created a defined route toward the drain, while the overflow was reopened and rebuilt at the proper level. The new modified-bitumen system included drain detailing, plumbing-vent flashing, parapet work, and a clear maintenance path. One expected afternoon update did not arrive until the following morning, although the roof had been secured. Communication was timely for the rest of the project. The roof has since handled several extended rains without water entering the apartment. Water reaches the primary drain, and the overflow remains visible rather than buried beneath roofing material. The final documents also identify both outlets so future maintenance does not accidentally cover either one.

Very happy with the service I received from Royal Roofing and Siding Far Rockaway. We knew the flat…read moreroof needed replacement, but the timing was financially difficult. Two prior repairs had stopped separate leaks, while test openings showed moisture spreading beneath another section. Paying for one more patch would not have changed the overall condition. We applied with a third-party lender and qualified for monthly payments with no money due upfront under the lender's terms. The roofing business did not provide the money or decide whether we were approved. One requested document delayed the lender's final response by two days. Once approved, the roof was removed to the deck. Wet insulation was found near the rear drain and front parapet, with three localized wood repairs required. Tapered insulation, membrane roofing, drain detailing, and new wall flashing completed the replacement. A few small debris pieces landed beyond the neighboring fence during tear-off. Permission was obtained to retrieve them, and both properties received another cleanup. The job finished within the revised schedule. Several months later, the old ceiling stains remain dry and the rear drain clears normally. Financing allowed us to replace the complete assembly instead of using our available cash for another temporary repair

One…read morecorner had lifted visibly, but inspection also found stretched fastener rows and distorted seams farther into the roof. Although the membrane had not peeled away completely, its attachment could no longer be treated as dependable. Temporary repairs secured the exposed corner while the full condition was documented. Fastener pull tests showed inconsistent resistance in several areas of the metal deck. The owner compared a large partial repair with replacing the complete system. Because the stressed attachment continued beyond the visibly damaged section, full replacement was selected. The existing membrane and insulation were removed in controlled zones. Surface corrosion was cleaned, and damaged deck sections were replaced where the fastener tests had produced unacceptable results. New insulation, high-density cover board, and TPO membrane were installed using an attachment design based on the building height, perimeter zones, and specified wind-uplift requirements. Additional securement was installed at corners and roof edges rather than treating the entire field identically. The parapet coping was also refastened so loose metal could not compromise the new membrane. Work was photographed before the perimeter flashing concealed the attachment. The completed roof passed its required inspection and remained stable during later periods of high wind

Even a small roof leak posed a serious risk to this warehouse because its inventory consisted…read morelargely of books and boxed paper products. The existing EPDM roof was almost 20 years old, with repaired seams and increasing shrinkage at the perimeter. Moisture testing found damp insulation along one wall before water had reached the stored inventory. The owner considered repairing the perimeter and postponing replacement. The decision changed after additional testing found separated wet areas around a drain and an equipment curb. A full tear-off offered a clearer way to remove the moisture before it spread. Warehouse staff created temporary empty aisles beneath each roof section. High shelving was covered, and paper inventory was moved away from the exterior wall. Removal proceeded in narrow zones that could be closed with new roofing the same day. The metal deck remained sound except for a small area beneath the leaking curb. New tapered insulation and cover board were followed by a fully adhered TPO membrane. Perimeter flashing was rebuilt with additional securement, and the drain connection was replaced rather than reused. Weather limits were stricter than usual because an unexpected opening could damage a large amount of inventory. Temporary covering remained staged on the roof even after each section was closed. The completed roof received seam testing, drainage checks, photographs, and a marked maintenance plan before the paper products returned to their normal locations.

This business is a rip-off! They scammed my family for several thousands of dollars. The job was…read morehaphazard incomplete as Manhattan Roofing repaired half the roof, but NOT the entire roof of the whole building. They did not show photos of the completed work and partly negligent from my party as no one was physically able, ready and willing to climb the roof to make a visual assessment of the alleged completed work. My party has become dismayed, dispondent from the deficit and utter dysfunction horrible work from Manhattan Roofing including the financial pain of being cheated and scammed. The absence of work completion. It is the consequences and the effect of NOT doing. My party and I are victim who grapples with these plaguing consequences. Forward. Years later, the continual plaguing problem of leaks and water damage from rain, snow and all elements entered. The workers from this rpofing business did not enter the roof but used a long ladder from the side of the building to do this haphazard work. Ergophobia? Or, acrophobia of heights? Money hungry! Construction contractors from another business was hired year 2024 to take corrective action for repairs to be thoroughly completed to thwart effects from elements.

Test openings found damp insulation beneath several older repair areas, indicating that the moisture had traveled farther than the visible stain suggested. The owner compared removing only the wet sections with replacing the complete roof. Because the existing modified-bitumen system was heavily patched and approaching the end of its service life, full replacement was selected. NY Roofing removed the old roof to the deck, deteriorated material around the hatch was replaced, and tapered insulation was added to improve movement toward the rear drain. A new two-ply modified-bitumen system was installed with fresh wall flashing and metal edges. Materials were lifted from the street during a restricted delivery window, while the neighboring roof and occupied rooms below received additional protection. The finished surface had a consistent slope instead of the shallow depressions that had formed around earlier patches. Following several rainstorms and one freeze-thaw cycle, the bedroom ceiling remained unchanged.

The building has a florist on the first floor, so dust control, moisture protection, and keeping the rear entrance usable were just as important as the roofing itself. We paid part of the project cost directly and financed the remaining balance through an outside lender. The roofing company did not set the lending terms, and approval came from the lender, but having that option allowed us to complete the replacement before another busy holiday season. Tear-off revealed three old roofing layers and deteriorated wood along the edge where a gutter had been removed years earlier. The damaged material was shown to us, measured, and replaced before new tapered insulation and a modified-bitumen roof were installed. New edge metal and properly terminated wall flashing were also included. The disposal chute rubbed against a section of the rear railing and left a paint mark. The crew acknowledged it and touched up the railing before the final walkthrough. Inside, the flower inventory remained protected and the store missed only one morning of rear-door access. We have since had both heavy rain and strong wind without any water entering the building. The monthly payment is an added expense, of course, but it is predictable, unlike the recurring leak repairs we had been paying for.

Every contractor who came before seemed to patch a different area, but the problems always came back eventually. Goldenberg Roofing BK broke the cycle. After inspecting the roof, they showed us several areas where water had been ponding for a long time and explained how the existing drainage layout was contributing to the deterioration. The project involved a full tear-off, new flat roofing system, updated flashing, and improvements around the drains. The crew worked efficiently, kept the roof organized throughout the project, and provided updates along the way. We've been through several major storms since completion and the roof has performed exactly as hoped.
