How much will a new roof cost?
Ultimately, the costs for roof replacement or repair depends upon a thorough roof inspection. When completing an in-person inspection, 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 are very careful to check the entire residential roof - no worries over surprise additional costs.

Types of Residential Roofs
There are many types of roofs 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, wood shakes, metal (standing seam and exposed fastener), concrete tile, clay tile, slate roofs, 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 wind and rain and stand up well to many kinds of weather conditions. Asphalt shingles come in many different colors and several 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 for your existing metal roofs. Unlike shingles, metal roofs can be used on both 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 made from earth-friendly material. It is a heavier roof and may require some extra bolstering of the roof framing. 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 the material 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 are the material 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. Check out our roof coating services as well, for a great way to extend the life of your flat roof!

Residential Roofing Repairs
Roof maintenance on residential sloped roofs mostly involves fixing leaks because that is one problem that is quickly noticed and requires prompt attention. Leaks can lead to wood rot, electrical shorts, ruined walls and carpet, and mold growth. Roof leaks can develop from worn-out flashing (the seals around chimneys, vents, skylights etc.), damaged tiles or shingles, or gaps in the seam of a flat roof. We can track down the source of these roof leaks, and also provide emergency roofing services for more sudden issues like a limb puncturing your roof, or shingles blowing off in high winds.
