New roof surface for additions, rooftop decks, stair bulkheads and gut renovations — tied cleanly into whatever membrane is already there, and coordinated with your architect or GC instead of worked around them.
Replacement tears off a failing roof and puts on a new one where a roof already worked. Installation builds roof surface where there wasn’t one before, or where the project is changing what’s there. The planning is different, and so is the crew you want doing it.
Six project types, each with its own structural and permitting considerations.
Amenity decks over an existing flat roof — pedestal pavers or a built-up deck system, with the membrane below protected and drained, not just covered.
New roof access structures need their own watertight roof, correctly flashed where the bulkhead wall meets the existing membrane below.
A new top floor or dormer means new roof geometry, new parapet, and new tie-ins along every wall that used to be open sky.
When a full renovation touches the roof assembly — not a re-cover, a genuine rebuild from the deck up to current code.
New HVAC, solar or mechanical equipment needs a properly flashed curb and a roof built to carry the load, not a lag bolt through the membrane.
Garden-level additions and accessory structures get the same flat-roof detailing standard as the main building — no shortcuts because it’s small.
A renovation has several trades moving at once. Here’s where the roof fits.
Handled directly with your project team.
Keeps the tie-in details right the first time.
Six checks, every time a new roof surface meets an old one.
Four stages, run alongside the rest of your project, not separate from it.
We review the drawings, confirm the existing roof condition, and agree the system and tie-in approach with your architect or GC.
Building permit filed, sequencing agreed with the other trades on site, and a realistic install window set.
New roof surface built, tied into the existing membrane, load-checked, and water-tested before anything is closed up.
Roof signed off, documentation handed over, and the work timed to support your certificate of occupancy.
One square mile. Wherever the project is, it is the same crew and the same coordination standard.
Send us what you have — architect drawings if you have them, or just a description — and we’ll follow up to scope the roof portion and send a written estimate.

Replacement is tearing off a failing existing roof and putting on a new one. Installation is building new roof surface where there wasn’t one before, or wasn’t finished, or is being fundamentally changed — an addition, a rooftop deck, a bulkhead, a gut renovation. The work and the tie-in details are different, which is why we treat it as a separate service.
Yes, regularly. On a renovation or addition the roof is one trade among several, and we coordinate scope, sequencing and details directly with your architect or GC rather than working in isolation.
Yes. New roof structure, decks, bulkheads and additions all require a City of Hoboken building permit, and the work typically needs to pass final inspection before a certificate of occupancy is issued. We build that timeline into the schedule from the start.
It can, if the new work isn’t tied into the existing membrane correctly or isn’t installed by someone familiar with the original system. We check what’s there before we cut into it, and detail the tie-in to the manufacturer’s requirements so the rest of the roof stays covered.
Send the drawings or the idea — we’ll scope the roof and get you a written estimate.
