The people underneath set the plan
Same roof work, different plan. Who's under it decides the start time and the way up.
| Who's underneath | Usual roof | Access and timing |
|---|---|---|
| Attached row house | Flat bitumen running into neighbors' roofs | Parapet, coping and flashing at shared walls |
| Two-family home | Flat or low-slope, some shingle | Both households told the day beforehand |
| Apartment building | Modified bitumen or EPDM with roof drains | Hatch or bulkhead. See how a leak over tenants runs |
| Mixed-use storefront | Flat membrane over the shop | Worked around the store's trading hours |
| Church | Large low-slope membrane roof | Booked around services, never during one |
Paperwork, the way up, and the old roof out
Full tear-offs can need an NYC DOB permit. We check first and file it when it's required. Patch repairs usually don't.
Apartment buildings we reach by hatch or bulkhead. Attached blocks mean a ladder from the street or yard. Old membrane and shingles get bagged and lowered on your side, then carted off. Nothing crosses the neighbors' roofs.

Answers before the ladder goes up
Can you tarp a leak during a nor'easter or snow?
Yes, once the roof is safe to stand on. The tarp holds until the weather clears, then we do the repair. Read how we stop water that's coming in now.
Why does water sit on my flat roof, and is ponding a repair?
Usually it's a clogged roof drain or a sagged deck. Yes, fix it, since freeze-thaw in that low spot splits seams each winter. Our page on standing water that won't drain covers the fix.
Modified bitumen, EPDM or TPO for my row house?
Modified bitumen for the typical row house. It takes foot traffic and ties cleanly into parapet flashing. EPDM suits a plain roof with few vents. TPO works with careful seams at the shared wall.
