Roofing — FAQs

How do I know if I need a repair or full replacement?

We inspect membrane age, saturation, deck condition, and leak history. If repairs won’t extend life reliably, we recommend replacement with options.

Do you work on occupied buildings?

Yes — we phase work, protect entrances, manage noise, and keep access clear with proper signage and safety controls.

Can you help with DOB/permits and COIs?

Absolutely. We handle filings as needed and provide Certificates of Insurance for management and landlords.

What warranties do you offer?

Manufacturer system warranties (where applicable) and our workmanship warranty. Details vary by system and scope.
