About roofing
A roof is the part of a building that fails quietly. By the time a stain appears on a ceiling the water has usually been travelling for a while, so the useful question is not where the mark is but where the water got in. Waystar covers repair, replacement and the full range of roof types found on New York buildings, from pitched shingle roofs on houses to flat systems on multifamily and commercial property.

Questions
What owners ask about roofing.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
It depends on the age of the covering, how widespread the failure is and what condition the deck underneath is in. A roof with one damaged area and plenty of life left is usually worth repairing. A roof failing in several places at once is often cheaper to replace than to keep paying for access. We tell you which one yours is after looking at it.
How quickly can a leak be looked at?
Send the address and a short description and we will arrange a visit. Active leaks are treated as a priority because water reaching the deck turns a contained repair into a much larger one.
Do you work on flat roofs as well as pitched?
Yes. Flat roof systems, pitched shingle roofs, slate, tile, metal, and the transitions between them are all part of the work.
Can you tell me the cost over the phone?
Not accurately. Roof pricing depends on access, pitch, the number of layers already in place and the condition of the deck. We give you a written scope with figures after a site visit.
