Types of Residential Roofs

There are many roofing materials used in New York City. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material for houses in the United States, but in NYC we see all kinds of roofing systems. We install and repair the following types of roofing: asphalt shingles (3-tab, Dimensional and luxury), wood (shake or shingle), metal (copper, zinc alloys, aluminum, steel), concrete tile, clay tile, slate tile, and many types of flat roofing.

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are economical, long-lasting, and fairly customizable to each customer's preferred finished look. Shingles are attached to a flat roof deck, and are used on sloped roofs. The high quality shingles that Skyward Roofing uses are resistant to rain and stand up well to many kinds of weather conditions. Asphalt shingles come in many different colors and a few different styles.

Metal Roof

Long-lasting and lightweight, metal roofs are considered an upgraded roofing option. They are more expensive than shingles, but can be worth it if you want a sleek, eco-friendly roof, that lasts for decades. Most metal roofs require some maintenance, including coating and painting, which our roofing contractors can provide a free quote on. Metal roofs can be used on low-slope and pitched roofs.

Clay Tile Roofs

Popular in the south, it is not uncommon to see tile roofs here in NYC as well. These natural tiles have great insulation properties, and are a natural material. It is a heavier roof and may require some extra bolstering of the house frame. Clay tiles are installed on battens that keep the tile lifted above the roof deck. Renowned for their long-life, tile roofs also come in many different style and colors. 

Slate Roofs

Slate roofs have both a long history and a long life of over 100 years. This traditional building material looks great but can be difficult to work on and install. The tiles are slick and heavy. However, the pay off is worth it for a great looking roof that outlasts so many other roofing materials. Slate roofs need a roofer who is familiar with slate and Skyward Roofing has been repairing and installing slate roofs in Manhattan, Queens, and all over NYC for many years.

Flat Roofs

Flat or low-slope roofs have a few different roofing system options. Metal is one option, but often single ply membranes is the roof of choice for these roofs. We install and maintain EPDM, TPO, and PVC roofing. If you have a BUR or torchdown roof, we can also provide maintenance and repair for those. We work on both residential and commercial flat roofs.

Residential Roofing Repairs

Roof repairs for residential sloped roofs mostly concentrate on fixing leaks because that is the one problem that gains notice quickly. On a flat roof, Roof leaks occur along flashings, seams, membranes with storm damage and punctures along high traffic areas of a rooftop patio or garden. Leaks can leads to wood rot, electrical shorts, ruined carpet or drywall and ultimately can ruin the interior of your home. Timely maintenance is perhaps one of the most important functions that can be done to get the maximum life span out of a roof.  Do not ignore roof leaks. Fixing leaks before mold and rot sets in will require less cash outlay and work needed for repair or replacement of rotting framework.

Roof Installation

A new roof can make your life so much better, but if it is poorly installed, it can be the start of a major headache. Our roofing contractors are committed to doing a job the right way, and standing behind the guarantees we give. We feel confident in our work and want our customers to feel confident hiring us.

Ultimately, the costs for roof replacement or repair depends upon a thorough roof inspection. When completing an in-person isnpection, we check the roofing deck as well as the gutters and fascia. If the roof supports, insulation, or roof deck is suffering from moisture intrusion or rot, it will need to be replaced. No one wants to be surprised by unexpected expenses during a re-roofing, so that is why we perform a thorough inspection before providing a quote. Our inspectors in NYC are very careful to check the entire residential roof - no worries over surprise additional costs.
