• We provide service for all kinds of roofing needs. Call us for any issue you are having! We can take care of a small leak, tearing off and replacing your roof, or suggesting ideas to maintain your current roof so it lasts as long as possible.
  
• We recommend yearly roof inspections so small issues don't go unnoticed and unaddressed. It is definitely time to call us for an estimate if you notice shingles that have blown off into your yard, a limb fell on your house, or if a section of your flat roof has seams coming apart.
  

Commercial Roofing

EDPM Flat Roof Needs Repair

• Skyward Roofing works with business owners, property managers, and maintenance managers to keep their business roofs in great condition.
• If a business has a roof leak, it can turn away customers, damage inventory, foster mold growth, and compromise the integrity of the building. 
• We provide roofing services for all kinds of commercial properties - restaurants, warehouses, apartment buildings, and more!
• Many commercial buildings have flat roofs, which need inspections more often than pitched roofs. Inspecting these roofs twice a year will make sure that any separating seams, low spots, or worn out flashing is caught before it becomes a major issue.
• Flat roofs also benefit from cleaning and sealing to help improve their UV reflectivity. This not only improves the look of the roof, but also extends the life of the roof. 
  

Industrial Roofing

Installing Industrial Roof

• We install large-scale roofs and also offer repair, maintenance, and inspections. Whether you have a warehouse, factory, or distribution center, we can help keep your building free of water intrusion.
  
• Industrial roofs are often flat or low-slope. This style of roof requires less material, and also creates less unused space than a pitched roof.
• We work on all kinds of flat roofing systems, including single-ply membrane (like EPDM and TPO), modified bitumen roofing, and spray foam roofs. 
• Metal roofs can also be installed in low-slope applications. Low-slope metal roofs are lightweight and long-lasting.
  
• We also offer elastomeric coating and roof sealing. This preventative maintenance measure can extend the life of your roof, keeping the roof material in better shape and preventing leaks. 
  

Flat Roofing

Flat Section of Roof Repaired

• Proper installation and maintenance of a flat roof requires a contractor who is familiar and experienced with these types of roofs. 
  
• Whether you need maintenance for an existing flat roof, or a new low-slope roof installation, we can help!
• New York building codes set the limit of roof system layers to three, so if you already have two roofing systems, and your roof is leaking, replacing it may be the most cost-effective option long-term.
• We offer installation, repair, and maintenance for BUR, single-ply membrane, and all other kinds of low-slope roofs.
  
• From tear-off and replacement, to coating and painting, to official inspections, Skyward Roofing's team is ready to help.
  
• Leaks on flat roofs can be caused by debris falling and tearing the membrane, drains becoming clogged, or the flashing around vents and other roof penetrations failing. 
  

Metal Roofing

Copper Roof

• Metal roofs come in many colors, materials, and styles. You can choose whatever fits your budget and design.
• As metal roofing becomes more popular, more style choices are becoming available. Metal panels are the standard choice, but there are also metal tiles that emulate the look of shake, slate, and clay tiles. 
• Metal roofs are lightweight, and a great choice for roofs with small weight limits. Metal roofs are lightweight enough that often no extra reinforcement will be required, which can help reduce the cost of your roof replacement.
  
• Standing seam metal roofs are one of the most common choices for homeowners choosing a metal roof. These metal panels fit together to cover the fastening system, which helps prevent leaks and water intrusion.
• We offer installation, repair, and maintenance for metal roofs, including painting and coating. 

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Dimensional shingle roofing

• Asphalt shingles are usually made from a fiberglass sheet, dipped in tar (asphalt), and then coated with granules. This makes for a durable, flexible, and weatherproof roof covering. The granules help deflect sunlight, allow for grip when working on the roof, give the shingle color, and can also help improve hail and biological growth resistance.
• Shingles are often a budget-friendly choice for homeowners and are also used on some business roofs. We install and repair shingle roofs for all kinds of buildings in Queens, NY.
• Shingles that are curled, tearing, or getting bare-spots (no granules), are nearing the end of their life, and it is likely time to replace the entire roof.
  
• Curling shingles is usually due to improper ventilation. Skyward Roofing will check all elements of your roof, including the vent system, decking, fascia and gutters, to make sure you have a long-lasting new roof or roof repair.
  

TPO Roofing 

Membrane Repair

• TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single ply roofing membrane that is UV-reflective and grease-resistant, with heat-welded seams. Because it holds up to grease better than EPDM, it is often chosen for restaurant roofs.  
  
• TPO roofs require specialized training and equipment to install. Our experienced roofing crews will expertly install or repair your flat TPO roof.
• Heat welded seams are created using a specialized machine. It is important that the seams are not formed with too high or too low a heat. Too high, and the material will burn, too low and the seam is weak. This is why it is key to hire an experienced roofer who has the process dialed in. 
• Small tears can occur in single-ply membrane roofs, and twice-yearly inspections are recommended. We recommend checking for water that isn't draining a few days after a storm and for any debris that may have blown onto or impacted the roof. Also, single-ply membranes sometimes receive accidental damage from maintenance crews working on AC units when they walk on the roof or if they drop tools.
• Thermoplastic roofs are one of the most budget-friendly flat roofs and can be sealed to help extend their life and keep the membrane in good condition. Ask us for a quote for elastomeric coating for your existing roof!

EDPM/Rubber roofing

EDPM/Rubber Membrane Installation

• EDPM roofing systems withstand extreme temperatures well, excellent for climates that have cold winters. They are renowned for their durability and longlasting qualities. Some of these roofs are still functioning 50 years later when well-maintained with periodic inspections and timely repairs.
• EPDM (aka "rubber" roofing) does not require special tools or heat to install, meaning that repairs are also simpler. 
• These roofs can be installed either by themselves or ballasted. These are one of the easiest flat roofs to install, and come in large sheets which helps save costs on material, labor, and time.
• EPDM roofs are often black which can help reduce heating costs in winter. If you want a "cool roof" that reflects UV rays, you can choose a white EPDM membrane.
• Leaks on rubber roofs can occur around flashings, along seams, punctures from storm damage, or tears along footpath areas if there is foot traffic. Our periodic roof inspections prevent roof failure and leaks by catching seam gaps, tears, and crumbling flashing early and providing expert repair.
  

Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Roofer

SPF Installation

• Spray Foam roofing is a 2-layer system - the first layer is the polyurethane foam, and the top layer is an elastomeric silicone or acrylic coating. The foam roofing is a lightweight and extremely durable roofing material. The coating on top seals the foam and prevents water intrusion.
• SPF roofing can be installed over other roofing systems to stop leaks and help prevent the need to replace your current roof. Because it is lightweight, it can be installed over other roofing systems.
• SPF roofing can last indefinitely. If damaged, the roofing material can be removed, and then the section repaired. This is accomplished by scraping down the compromised area, adding SPF foam to level the roof, and then a new top coat sealant. Following these steps renews your SPF roof and will save you the cost of a tear off and re-roof. 

Slate Roofing

Repairing a Slate Roof

•  Slate is one of the longest lasting roofing materials available. It has a very dense structure which makes it water repellent, fireproof and it withstands freezing and thawing cycles well.
  
• Slate has been used as a roofing material since the 13th century. It was encouraged as a roofing material in large cities like New York to prevent fires.
• While slate tiles are expensive, because they last for so long and look so elegant, they are still a top roofing material for Queens residents. Slate roofs can last for over a century, which is truly impressive.
  
• Some historical churches, museums, and homes opt for this roofing type to stay within the historical society guidelines. 
• Slate tiles are heavy, and the roof needs to be properly reinforced to be able to handle the weight. Our roofing crew can check to make sure the roof deck and joists are still in good enough condition, and make any needed repairs.

Waterproofing

Polyurea Waterproofing on Flat Metal Roof

• There are several different roof waterproofing/sealing options for roofs. We offer painting, sealing, and coating for roofs, including elastomeric, silicon, and polyurea coating.
  
• Polyurea is a liquid or spray coating that is used successfully for waterproofing flat roofs, as well as basements, and reservoirs/tanks linings. Polyurea forms a seamless waterproof coating over surfaces. It protects against leaks, rust, erosion, and will also stretch and shrink with temperature changes.
  
• Elastomeric coatings can help extend the life of your roof in several ways. For membrane roofs, it can give the membrane new life and maintain its flexibility after the original plasticizers are wearing out. It can also seal around roof penetrations, fasteners, and minor rips that may be sources of tiny leaks. By forming a new flexible and weatherproof barrier, your roof will be free of leaks.
  

Roof Inspections

• Our detailed roof inspections are performed by experienced staff members with decades of experience in the field. We provide estimates for projects, official inspections for sales and insurance, and leak investigations. 
  
• The roof assessment you receive will take into account, not just the current state of the roof, but also the clients’ future plans for the property, age of roof, roof features (such as skylights and vents), and check how recent repairs are holding up. We always look for the most affordable options for our clients. 
  
• Commercial flat roofs should be inspected twice yearly and after severe storms. This is more often than sloped roofs because whatever drops on, blows in, or crawls on to a flat roof will generally stay there until it is removed. Debris on a flat roof could cause punctures, serve as bedding to critters, or cause water retention.
  

Chimneys

Professionally installed chimneys last for decades

• Roof penetrations, like chimneys, are common points of failure for roofs, but are also very important elements.
• We have the experience and skills to repair and maintain chimneys and the flashing around it so both your roof and chimney are in great condition.
• Our roofing contractors can even rebuild chimneys that are failing. With your new chimney, you can enjoy many cozy nights by the fire.
• Another service we offer is repointing. An old chimney with bricks in good condition can be repointed, which involves replacing the mortar joints. This job requires attention to detail and a trained eye.
• If you have a chimney that is leaking water into your house, we will find the leak and repair the problem. Whether it is deteriorated mortar that is letting water in, or worn out flashing around the base of the chimney, or another issue, we will identify it and shore it up. We can work on all kinds of roofs in Queens, NY.
• If you do not need your chimney anymore, we also offer chimney demolition and will patch your roof back after. 

Gutter Installation and repair

Seamless gutters are built on site using a specialized machine

• Buildings in New York have a variety of gutters, from internal to external, k-style or box, residential and commercial. 
  
• Repairing and maintaining gutters is an important part of roof maintenance
• If a gutter is clogged or damaged, it can cause issues with your roof, foundation, or be unpleasant for residents when they step outside and have rain pour directly on them.
• Gutters become clogged with leaves, debris, small critters, and even trash sometimes. 
• Gutter and drain guards can help prevent blockages, but it is still important to check drains and gutters periodically to make sure they are in good condition and clean them out.
