Royal Renovators Inc completed a full flat roof replacement for our property in Brooklyn. The job…read moreincluded a new rubber membrane, insulation, metal roof hatch and new gutters. Essentially, the entire roof system had to be rebuilt due to ongoing leaks and poor prior workmanship from another contractor. Mike coordinated the project from the beginning and was on site and involved throughout. The crew arrived on time with equipment and immediately got to work. What stood out most was their approach it never felt rushed or careless, they knew what they were doing. The work was clean, organized, and the site was kept under control throughout the day. Communication was great, and the pricing stayed exactly as originally discussed with no surprises. Overall, it was a solid experience from start to finish. Everything was handled smoothly and they applied protection to the attached neighbor. the roof has been performing well since completion.

## **Detailed Review of Royal Renovators (Experience from ~2023) **…read more My experience with Royal Renovators in 2023 was extremely disappointing, unprofessional, and ultimately costly. I normally don't leave reviews, but the level of incompetence and deception I encountered deserves to be shared so others can avoid the same situation. ### **1. Repeated Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Charges** We originally contacted Royal Renovators because our roof was leaking. They came out twice and still couldn't identify the source of the problem. Each visit came with new explanations and new charges, none of which made sense in hindsight. Eventually, they claimed they had finally found the issue and charged us approximately **$4,800** for the repair. We trusted their assessment and paid, hoping the leak would finally be resolved. ### **2. Leak Still Present -- and More Confusion** The next time it rained, the leak was still there. Same spot, same issue. When we called them back, they used a drone to inspect the roof but still couldn't figure out what was wrong. Their uncertainty was alarming. We ended up using **our own drone**, and we were the ones who actually located the problem area. When we pointed it out to them, they insisted the leak was coming from the chimney area -- which was completely incorrect. At that point, it was obvious they were guessing, not diagnosing. ### **3. The Skylight Disaster** While they were assessing the roof leak, we made the mistake of agreeing to have a skylight installed at the same time. That turned out to be another huge error. The skylight they installed looks like a **DIY project**, not professional work. It has a **constant draft**, and when the weather gets cold, the draft is unbearable. It's clear they had no idea what they were doing, and the workmanship reflects that. Instead of adding value to our home, the skylight became another problem we had to live with. ### **4. Lack of Professionalism and Skill** Between the misdiagnosed leak, the sloppy skylight installation, and the inconsistent explanations, it became clear that the workers and foremen lacked the knowledge and professionalism expected from a roofing company. Their priority seemed to be collecting payments, not fixing the actual issues. ### **5. A Competent Company Fixed Everything** We finally decided to get a second opinion and found **2BQ Roofing**. The difference was immediate. They assessed the roof and instantly identified the real issue -- something Royal Renovators failed to do after multiple visits and thousands of dollars. 2BQ Roofing fixed the problem correctly, and here we are **three years later with not a single drop of water**. That alone speaks volumes. ### **6. Final Thoughts** I would never recommend Royal Renovators to anyone. Their service was unprofessional, their workers were incompetent, and their repeated misdiagnoses cost us time, stress, and money. The skylight installation was just the final confirmation that they were not capable of doing the job. If you're looking for a roofing company that actually knows what they're doing, skip Royal Renovators entirely. Our experience with them was a complete waste, and the only real solution came from hiring a different company.

I had my flat roof replaced last week by Royal Roofing Queens at my home in Flushing, and I…read morecouldn't be happier with the results. I've been living in my home for over 20 years and we have only layered new roofs over the old one as temporary patches. But their team showed me soft spots and I knew that it was time for a full tearoff and replacement of my roof. They worked with me on pricing from different discount programs they had. From start to finish, their team was professional, they detailed the estimate with all the particulars I asked for, they answered rounds of questions by email that I had with their office and project managers, and on the day of the installation they showed up early 730am, were professional, they communicated with me and sent photos throughout the job with drone photos and pictures and videos from the roof itself. Thank you to Sean, Eric, Mike, Jaime, and Eden - they explained every step of the process clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. The quality of the work came out outstanding, and they completed the job on time in 1 day in fact and within my original budget. I highly recommend Royal for their roofing work.

I'm an architect and my wife's an engineer, so we went deep into the search for a Brooklyn roofing contractor. Not as easy as you'd think: most companies chase bigger commercial gigs, and finding someone solid who actually cares about residential work took some digging. We ended up hiring NY Roofing. They handled everything--ripped out the rotted wood decking, added DensDeck recovery board so we're set up for a future rooftop solar setup, laid down a cold process SBS modified bitumen roof, reinforced every detail with liquid flashing, and hooked us up with a heavy-duty 6K commercial gutter system to finally fix the drainage mess. The crew finished the whole job in just two working days, right on schedule. They kept the site spotless and really watched out for our property and our neighbors--super considerate. Honestly, their professionalism, speed, and workmanship blew us away. If you need reliable roofing or waterproofing help in Brooklyn, I'd recommend NY Roofing without hesitation.

As the board of a 15-unit condominium in a 6-story building in Park Slope, Brooklyn, we had…read moreunfortunately gone through several negative experiences with management companies and contractors while trying to resolve persistent roof leaks with NYC rain and snow. After multiple failed repair attempts over the years, the board decided to take direct control of the process and conduct a thorough search for a qualified roofing contractor. After a rigorous interview process, we selected NY Roofing for a full roof replacement. From the beginning, their level of preparation and professionalism stood out. They mobilized an 18 person crew along with a knuckle boom crane to efficiently remove debris and transport materials to the roof, allowing the project to move quickly and safely. Our building has a complex roofing structure with a concrete slab deck, which required a more specialized assembly than a standard roofing system. NY Roofing installed a proper vapor barrier to address condensation issues that the original developer had failed to include, along with high R-value insulation to significantly improve the building's energy efficiency. The roof replacement was completed in 2017, and we are pleased to report that in the nine years since installation we have not experienced a single leak. As a board, we take vendor recommendations seriously because they affect every resident in the building, and NY Roofing proved to be a contractor we could confidently stand behind. For any condominium board or property owner looking for a reliable Park Slope or Brooklyn roofing contractor for a full roof replacement or waterproofing project, we would highly recommend NY Roofing.

The repair was completed faster than expected, and the quality of the work is outstanding. If you're looking for reliable, honest, and skilled roofers, look no further.
