Honestly really glad we went with these guys after talking to a bunch of roofing companies. We had…read moreongoing leak issues around the parapet wall + pooling water on part of the flat roof that another contractor kept "fixing" every few months. You can imagine how annoying that gets. What stood out to me was they actually spent time figuring out why the problem kept happening instead of immediately trying to sell us on the most expensive option possible. The estimate was detailed, communication was easy, and they were surprisingly organized the whole way through. The crew knocked out the roof replacement + waterproofing faster than I expected and kept the site way cleaner than I thought possible for roofing work in NYC lol. We've already had a couple pretty serious storms since the project finished and everything has stayed completely dry. No more bubbling paint, no random drips near the top floor windows, nothing. As a homeowner in NYC you hear every horror story imaginable about contractors, especially roofing companies, so I'm relieved this ended up being one of the good experiences instead.

## **Detailed Review of Royal Renovators (Experience from ~2023) **…read more My experience with Royal Renovators in 2023 was extremely disappointing, unprofessional, and ultimately costly. I normally don't leave reviews, but the level of incompetence and deception I encountered deserves to be shared so others can avoid the same situation. ### **1. Repeated Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Charges** We originally contacted Royal Renovators because our roof was leaking. They came out twice and still couldn't identify the source of the problem. Each visit came with new explanations and new charges, none of which made sense in hindsight. Eventually, they claimed they had finally found the issue and charged us approximately **$4,800** for the repair. We trusted their assessment and paid, hoping the leak would finally be resolved. ### **2. Leak Still Present -- and More Confusion** The next time it rained, the leak was still there. Same spot, same issue. When we called them back, they used a drone to inspect the roof but still couldn't figure out what was wrong. Their uncertainty was alarming. We ended up using **our own drone**, and we were the ones who actually located the problem area. When we pointed it out to them, they insisted the leak was coming from the chimney area -- which was completely incorrect. At that point, it was obvious they were guessing, not diagnosing. ### **3. The Skylight Disaster** While they were assessing the roof leak, we made the mistake of agreeing to have a skylight installed at the same time. That turned out to be another huge error. The skylight they installed looks like a **DIY project**, not professional work. It has a **constant draft**, and when the weather gets cold, the draft is unbearable. It's clear they had no idea what they were doing, and the workmanship reflects that. Instead of adding value to our home, the skylight became another problem we had to live with. ### **4. Lack of Professionalism and Skill** Between the misdiagnosed leak, the sloppy skylight installation, and the inconsistent explanations, it became clear that the workers and foremen lacked the knowledge and professionalism expected from a roofing company. Their priority seemed to be collecting payments, not fixing the actual issues. ### **5. A Competent Company Fixed Everything** We finally decided to get a second opinion and found **2BQ Roofing**. The difference was immediate. They assessed the roof and instantly identified the real issue -- something Royal Renovators failed to do after multiple visits and thousands of dollars. 2BQ Roofing fixed the problem correctly, and here we are **three years later with not a single drop of water**. That alone speaks volumes. ### **6. Final Thoughts** I would never recommend Royal Renovators to anyone. Their service was unprofessional, their workers were incompetent, and their repeated misdiagnoses cost us time, stress, and money. The skylight installation was just the final confirmation that they were not capable of doing the job. If you're looking for a roofing company that actually knows what they're doing, skip Royal Renovators entirely. Our experience with them was a complete waste, and the only real solution came from hiring a different company.

That person gave me preliminary findings and showed me pictures of problem areas on the roof. Arnie came by another day to go over the requirements of what would be needed to install a new roof, his credentials and the guarantees offered. He then provided me an estimate that night. A few days later, his workers came, tore off the old roof, put new plywood throughout the whole roof, lined the roof and then shingled it. They had almost the whole roof done in a day, but did need a little time the next morning to finish up (which Arnie previously told me might happen). The workers were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and worked hard. They left the property very clean. A few days after the new roof was installed, we had a few days of very heavy rain and the roof did great. I would highly recommend Arnie Blake for roofing. I would bet that his company's work in other areas are just as good.

i'm on the board of a landmark building on 4th ave in park slope brooklyn and we kept having…read moreproblems with our original copper gutters and downspouts being stolen every few years. we wanted to preserve the historic look of the building but needed a better long term solution that would not keep attracting thieves and costing the building money over and over again. Dan from ny roofing was great throughout the whole process. he worked with us to choose aluminum gutters and downspouts that have the same exact copper appearance and historical style but without the actual scrap value of real copper. honestly you cant even tell the difference unless someone points it out to you. it ended up being the perfect solution for our landmark property because we kept the original character of the building while avoiding future theft issues. another thing we really appreciated was that dan helped coordinate with the local landmarks department and handled the lpc permit process for approval on the exterior changes. dealing with landmark regulations in park slope brooklyn is usually stressful but he made the process alot easier and kept the board updated the whole time. his crew did a faboulous job with the installation and cleanup and really paid attention to the details. if you need landmark roofing, gutter replacement, historic restoration or exterior waterproofing work in brooklyn nyc i highly reccomend ny roofing.

I'm an architect and my wife's an engineer, so we went deep into the search for a Brooklyn roofing contractor. Not as easy as you'd think: most companies chase bigger commercial gigs, and finding someone solid who actually cares about residential work took some digging. We ended up hiring NY Roofing. They handled everything--ripped out the rotted wood decking, added DensDeck recovery board so we're set up for a future rooftop solar setup, laid down a cold process SBS modified bitumen roof, reinforced every detail with liquid flashing, and hooked us up with a heavy-duty 6K commercial gutter system to finally fix the drainage mess. The crew finished the whole job in just two working days, right on schedule. They kept the site spotless and really watched out for our property and our neighbors--super considerate. Honestly, their professionalism, speed, and workmanship blew us away. If you need reliable roofing or waterproofing help in Brooklyn, I'd recommend NY Roofing without hesitation.

He worked efficiently, and treated my home with respect--no mess left behind and minimal disruption. What impressed me most was his honesty. He even went above and beyond by inspecting the rest of the roof to ensure everything was secure and sealed properly, without charging extra. The repair was completed faster than expected, and the quality of the work is outstanding. If you're looking for reliable, honest, and skilled roofers, look no further.

We hired Ramon / Rivera Construction for a bathroom renovation and interior painting project and…read morewould not recommend working with him. There were ongoing issues with both workmanship and execution. A tub faucet was installed in a shower, paint coverage was uneven and inconsistent, and multiple areas were left in the wrong color despite being told everything was complete. At times, a different, lower-quality white paint than what we had purchased was used. During the project, multiple glass windows were broken and plexiglass was installed in a historic bay window instead of properly replacing it with the materials we purchased. A tile floor had to be removed and redone after being installed without regard to the pattern, and we had to intervene to prevent a countertop from being cut in the wrong location. A significant amount of materials we purchased for the project, including tile, paint, and three ceiling light fixtures, were not returned or accounted for. When we attempted to reconcile materials, we were unable to get clear or consistent answers. Materials (we purchased) were also requested well in advance of when they were actually needed, and the materials used on site often did not match what we had purchased for the project. This, combined with the lack of clear accounting, raised concerns about how materials were being handled across jobs. Overall, the experience lacked attention to detail, transparency, and accountability, and we would not work with him again.
