    caulked window

    Very sweet, friendly guys. Unfortunately, they wanted to caulk all our windows and ornamental wood. They said the caulking would be clear and and unnoticeable within a year. That was several years ago. Here is a photo for you to see for yourself.

    Results - roof of smaller extension of the building
    Nolan C.

    My experience with William & Hugh Roofing resulted in a very satisfied customer! When I needed a re-roof, I looked around for different roofing companies on Yelp and was able to find a few. Hugh responded very quickly to my project and said he was free for a call. I took him up on that offer and we walked through some of the options. Given my roof's condition and via photos, he was able to give a direct estimate of the costs of the job. Like any job, I did reach out to a few others for their point of view, and ultimately found Hugh's bid to be fair and transparent. Given all of the positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to book them for the job. We were able to get the job scheduled early in the following week...weather permitting. Thankfully, the skies were all clear on the day. Hugh's crew showed up on time. They were extremely professional and got straight to work, cleaning the debris on the building and putting in new roofing and flashing. Towards the end of the day, I was able to come up to the roof to view the finished work. The difference was night and day. All 3 roof sections of the building were extremely well done and neatly put together, and I can sleep soundly knowing I have a well-constructed roof over my head!

    My roof 3 years later is still as good as the day Hugh had Jorge fix my problem. No other roofer could solve my issue. My neighbor next door built up and our common wall roof leaked. It destroyed my kitchen and bedroom. Hugh...to the rescue. He knew immediately how to remedy this issue. I have been dry ever since. He and his crew saved my home.

    New roof

    We contacted Hugh in October 2024 due to a leak, but of course waited until it rained again to find that the leak had gotten worse. We immediately gave him a call back in November and his guys came out to my house to repair the roof within a couple days, just in time for Thanksgiving. Him and his team went above and beyond to get the job done, even repaired my porch roof, at no extra cost. Hugh is very responsive and up front about what the costs will be and will let you know how to maintain your roof moving forward. Months later, I couldn't be happier with the job 10/10 recommend!

    Old roof, rotten plywood.

    I don't think I can overstate how happy I am with the new roof that Hugh and Jorge and his crew just installed. Everything looks beautiful and perfect, it's almost a work of art and should be installed in a museum! The attention to detail applied to every aspect of the roof is obvious as soon as you start looking at it: the seams, the corners of the skylight curbs, the seal around the various roof vents and chimneys, the side flashing, the roof drain. To add to that, Hugh was willing to work with our specific building situation, the improvements I wanted to add, and was always interested, attentive and responsive. More detail: we have a 17 year old 3-family house in Brooklyn. The original roof wasn't installed right. The plywood decking was installed using short nails, that started pulling out, and the plywood started to warp. We hired a local roofing company to try to screw down the decking though the rubber roof as best as possible and to install a new membrane (their suggestion). That didn't really work, as the new membrane didn't go up the parapet walls, just stopped at the end of the decking, so water started getting in over the years and rotted the plywood. I started calling roofers for estimates last year. The estimates came in all over the map. Most were really expensive, while offering to just 'fix the problem" while "only replacing decking as necessary". I wanted to use this opportunity to improve the insulation in our "hotbox" apartment roof, but none of the other roofers wanted to add that to the job. Most just seemed to want to charge me as much as humanly possible, while doing as little as possible. Like I said before, Hugh was willing to work with our needs (replace the whole roof, add insulation) and was easy to work with, coordinate, communicate with, and generally a pleasure to talk to. Also, Hugh's foreman Jorge and his 3 man crew were hard working, very friendly and respectable, didn't mind me popping up to take photos for my dad (who used to do all kinds of home improvement jobs), and my questions and general interest. I was happy to let them use my apartment bathroom (who wouldn't?) and set them up with a cooler of Gatorade and water every day (how could I not?). So, would I hire Hugh again? Yes! In a heartbeat!

    New roof
    Joseph R.

    Excellent work at a fair price. Hugh always is straight honest with what does need to get done. Im a repeat customer and this is the 2nd roof they renovated for me. I had a leak at a rental property and needed the roof redone asap. After I accepted the quote Hugh and his guys were there at the house the following day. What more can I ask for? I'll definitely be calling Hugh again if I need any roofing/siding work. Thanks again!

    I already did my hours of research, so no need to keep shopping around. I can promise you that William & Hugh Roofing will end up becoming your "Go-To" roofer, anytime you need something done. I called Hugh on a Thursday, and told him that we have a flat roof and I think I have a leak by the drains, that's causing some moisture buildup in our 3rd floor bedroom. His pleasant attitude as well as his honest feedback over the phone prompted me to make an appointment for an estimate that weekend. He arrived early/on time, and he assessed the situation. I was actually the one asking/suggesting that we might need a new roof so that we can also correct/pitch a few areas that was collecting pools of water every time it rained. To my surprise, he explained to me that our roof is only 8 years old and in decent shape. He claimed that we could just patch the problem areas, and paint the whole roof to protect it and give us peace of mind for a few years. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little hesitant at first because the previous roofer that we've been working with for 8 years was good, but I felt as though all we were doing was putting bandaids every 2 years. Fast forward to this weekend when the project was taking place. Hugh and his crew came in and walked with me to point out the problem areas, and they got to work. I know for a fact that they addressed other issues that we didn't discuss because I know that they want to make sure our roof was going to be problem free for the next few years. I have never dealt with a crew that was more passionate and experts in their field. They were extremely thorough and detailed, and worked tirelessly from start to finish. Maintenance is a must on flat roofs, so I will be seeing them again. But I can honestly say that I will be sleeping well and have peace of mind for the next 4-5 years. Thank you for everything Hugh, Jose, and David. We owe you. =)

    Reframed, overhang(s) with black capping and back shingles.
    Joey G.

    Hugh and crew took care of the damaged peaked overhang above my 2nd floor window as well as the overhang above my front door. Both areas had suffered wind damage due to recent storms. Hugh's team demo'd, reframed (where needed), capped and shingled everything with high quality craftsmanship. They were able to salvage the original aluminum rain gutter and kept the dimensions so make for a super easy re-install after the fact. We also agreed to some general maintenance, sealing and silver coating of my flat roof - which was not in scope for our initial repairs but was added later on upon closer inspection. My neighbor was also interested and they were able to make use of the team while they were on-site, on the spot. All was completed within a single day. Thanks Hugh!

    BEFORE: East end of the roof, where there was the most damage.

    I had a flat roof that's been in poor condition for years after my parents, who were too feeble in their later years to take care of the property, neglected it. Finally, in 2022, I was able to focus my attention on getting it repaired, since it was leaking badly in one corner, causing water damage to the two units on that side. After shopping around, I settled on William & Hugh Roofing based on reviews, and boy, am I glad I did. After sending out some pics, I was quoted a decent price. The day of the job couldn't have gone more smoothly. They came in early morning (and showed up right on schedule), worked, worked worked, cleaned up and were done by mid-afternoon. The workers couldn't have been more prompt, efficient and clean (no messes left behind, nothing) or Hugh any nicer or more professional. The completed work was nothing short of transformational. I've posted before and after pics so you can see how bad the roof was before they worked on it and the shocking difference. So far, it's rained heavily at least three times since the roof was completed and for the first time in years, I didn't hear the dreaded sounds of water plop-plop-plopping upstairs. It remains to be seen in the Fall how well this holds up but I have complete confidence that this will be the first time in years when we won't be needing a bigger boat.

My daughter's floor and one or two others in my building are almost complete. My building I was told was the last to be completed. Our new badly needed apartment windows can't be installed until the work by Flag is finished. This morning I saw new windows on my building ground floor plaza. That's a good sign I hope. I have to give the Flag employees credit for working hard in all types of weather and in dangerous conditions. They frequent businesses in the neighborhood too which is a good thing!

Based on my experience, they seem to change these details frequently, which makes it difficult for customers to connect their history of complaints and reviews. If you are dealing with any of the following, be extremely cautious: Business names: Rainstone Waterproofing & Masonry Corp / Rainstorm Waterproof & Masonry Phone numbers: (646) 785-7773 or (203) 434-7109 Address: 40-18 Berrian Blvd, Astoria, NY (Note: this appears to be a virtual office building that can be rented by different businesses.) I was misled by their seemingly excellent Google reviews, so I strongly recommend looking at them carefully. Many of the reviews are less than a year old, extremely short and generic, lack specific details about the work performed, and do not include any photos from actual customers. Unfortunately, my experience was very similar to what other reviewers have described: extremely poor-quality work, an unbelievably unprofessional attitude, and being ghosted after they had collected the full payment. Before starting the job, he--Danny or Richard, I'm not sure which name he was using at the time, given the company's multiple phone numbers and business names--gave me absolute assurances that they could fix my water-related issues. However, almost immediately after starting, they suddenly claimed to have "found new problems" and began changing the scope of the work. The entire experience was a nightmare. Please stay away.
