Flat roof & leak repair on Staten Island
Staten Island homes often have a flat or low-slope section (an extension, a porch, a garage or a dormer), and that’s usually where the leak is.
Most of our Staten Island roofing work is on flat and low-slope roofs: rear extensions, porch roofs, attached garages, and the flat roofs on attached homes and North Shore mixed-use buildings. Low slopes drain slowly, so seams, drains and the flashing where the roof meets a wall do a lot of work.
Wind exposure near the water is another Staten Island factor: edges, terminations and flashing need to be secured properly. We repair leaks, re-flash walls and chimneys, and replace flat roofs in EPDM or modified bitumen.

What Staten Island owners should know
General information only, not legal advice. Confirm requirements with the issuing NYC agency.
Roof replacement rules
Local Laws 92 and 94 of 2019 can require solar or green-roof areas on roof replacements, and the energy code generally requires reflective surfaces on many low-slope roofs. We’ll flag what applies.
Flashing
Wall-to-roof and chimney flashing are the most common leak points on extensions.
Wind
Exposed edges near the shoreline need secure terminations.
HPD
Roof leaks into rental units can lead to HPD violations.
