The first question

Is this a repair, or is it time to replace?

We answer this honestly on the inspection — a repair sale is not always the right sale.

Repair is usually right

One isolated failure on a roof that is otherwise sound.

  • A single split seam or a localized puncture
  • One flashing detail has failed — coping, a vent, a chimney
  • The membrane is under 15 years old and otherwise intact
  • This is the first repair in this area of the roof

Replacement is usually right

When repair would just be buying a little more time.

  • Multiple failure points across the roof, not one isolated spot
  • The membrane is at or past its expected lifespan
  • This is the second or third repair in the same area
  • Deck damage is found once we open the area up
What we fix

The six repairs we run most often

Each has a different cause and a different fix — which is why the inspection comes before the quote.

1

Split or open seam

Membrane seams separate with age and thermal movement. Re-welded or re-sealed to the manufacturer’s detail, not just caulked over.

2

Blistering

Trapped moisture or air under the membrane surface. Cut out, dried, and patched — left alone, a blister eventually splits.

3

Flashing failure

Where the membrane meets a wall, vent or chimney is the single most common leak point on this roof type. Rebuilt, not resealed.

4

Ponding at a drain

A settled or clogged drain holds standing water, which ages the membrane around it fastest. Cleared, and re-sloped if the pooling is structural.

5

Coping displaced

Parapet cap metal lifted or shifted by wind. A leak path and a falling-object risk over the sidewalk — re-secured and re-sealed.

6

Penetration leak

Skylights, old chimney stubs and mechanical curbs are common failure points where the membrane was cut and detailed around an object.

The diagnosis

Why we trace before we patch

On a building that shares party walls, the stain on your ceiling is not always directly under the leak. Patching where the water shows up, instead of where it actually enters, is why a "fixed" leak often comes back.

  • Roof-side inspection first — drains, flashing, coping, seams
  • Checked against where water could travel along the party wall
  • The true entry point confirmed before any repair starts

Questions

Roof repair — straight answers

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

A repair is usually right for one isolated failure point on a roof that is otherwise sound — a split seam, one bad flashing detail, a localized puncture. Replacement makes more sense when the membrane is failing in multiple places, the roof is past its expected lifespan, or repairs have already been done more than once in the same area. We give you that assessment in writing after the inspection.

Can you find a leak if you don’t know where it’s coming from?

Yes, that is most of the job. On a shared party wall the water can travel before it shows up as a stain, so we trace from the roof down rather than sealing wherever the ceiling is wet. That includes checking drains, flashing, coping and penetrations, not just the area above the stain.

How much does a roof repair cost?

It depends entirely on what is actually failing and how much of the roof it affects. A single flashing repair is a different job from re-membraning a section around a failed drain. We quote after inspecting, not before.

How fast can you get someone out?

For active leaks we prioritize same-week inspection, often faster. If water is actively entering the building right now, call — that is handled as an emergency repair, not a scheduled one.
