Residential Roofing for Brooklyn Homes
Brooklyn's residential roofs are mostly one of two types: pitched asphalt shingle on detached and semi-detached homes, or flat/low-slope on row houses and brownstones. We work on both, and we'll tell you plainly which category your roof falls into and what that means for repair versus replacement decisions.
Typical cost: Varies by scope — repairs from $350, replacements from $8,000

Residential Roofing FAQs
Do you work on brownstones specifically?
Yes, brownstone roofs (typically flat or low-slope, often shared/party-wall access) are a large share of our residential work across Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and similar neighborhoods.
Can you coordinate with my general contractor during a renovation?
Yes — we regularly work alongside GCs on gut renovations and additions where the roof scope needs to sync with the rest of the project timeline.
What's the difference in cost between repairing and replacing a residential roof?
A repair typically runs a few hundred to low thousands of dollars; a full replacement is a much larger investment but resets your roof's lifespan to 20-30+ years depending on material. We'll help you weigh that against your roof's actual remaining life.
Do you offer financing for larger residential roofing projects?
We can discuss financing options for full replacements during your quote — ask your estimator about what's currently available.
