After inspecting the roof they found a flashing issue around one of the penetrations and showed me exactly where water was getting in. Instead of trying to sell me a full roof replacement, they recommended a targeted repair. The repair was completed within a few days and ended up costing far less than I expected. It's refreshing dealing with a company that's willing to fix the actual problem instead of automatically recommending the most expensive option.

The inspection found cracked transition flashing, brittle roofing, and wet insulation extending beyond the visible damage. A focused repair was discussed, but it would not have addressed the surrounding material. We selected a new self-adhered modified-bitumen system with additional insulation. Several deck boards were replaced at the transition before custom metal flashing was installed. The neighbor's entrance and our front planting area were protected during removal. Fabrication of the metal added one day to the schedule, but the roof remained secured. The leak has not returned through heavy rain, snow, or summer heat.

Every contractor who came before seemed to patch a different area, but the problems always came back eventually. Goldenberg Roofing BK broke the cycle. After inspecting the roof, they showed us several areas where water had been ponding for a long time and explained how the existing drainage layout was contributing to the deterioration. The project involved a full tear-off, new flat roofing system, updated flashing, and improvements around the drains. The crew worked efficiently, kept the roof organized throughout the project, and provided updates along the way. We've been through several major storms since completion and the roof has performed exactly as hoped.

It's all memorialized in text massages. I've yet to receive any restitution. His work and his word are worthless. Since posting this review this morning, I have gotten threatening text messages from Eden Goldenberg with respect to my livelihood. Beware of this businessman. In response to Eden Goldenberg's message below...the house was built in 2003. I don't consider that to be 'very old.' Update...Filed small claims court suit in April 2018.

My party has become dismayed, dispondent from the deficit and utter dysfunction horrible work from Manhattan Roofing including the financial pain of being cheated and scammed. The absence of work completion. It is the consequences and the effect of NOT doing. My party and I are victim who grapples with these plaguing consequences. Forward. Years later, the continual plaguing problem of leaks and water damage from rain, snow and all elements entered. The workers from this rpofing business did not enter the roof but used a long ladder from the side of the building to do this haphazard work. Ergophobia? Or, acrophobia of heights? Money hungry! Construction contractors from another business was hired year 2024 to take corrective action for repairs to be thoroughly completed to thwart effects from elements.

As the owner of a mixed use building near Lexington Avenue, I take building maintenance seriously…read moreand wanted to work with a roofing contractor that valued quality over shortcuts. After noticing persistent water intrusion around the parapet wall following several heavy rainstorms, I contacted NY Roofing Manhattan for an inspection. From the very first appointment, their professionalism stood out. They arrived on time, conducted a thorough evaluation of the roof system, documented the areas of concern, and clearly explained what was causing the leaks. I appreciated that they focused on solving the underlying issue instead of recommending unnecessary work. Once the project began, communication remained excellent throughout every stage. The crew worked efficiently, maintained a clean and organized job site, and showed great respect for both the building and its tenants. The crew arrived as scheduled each day, worked safely and efficiently, and made every effort to minimize disruptions for our tenants. They maintained a clean work area throughout the project, communicated regularly regarding progress, and completed the repairs within the timeframe they originally provided. The workmanship exceeded my expectations, and the difference has been noticeable. After several significant rainstorms, there have been no signs of water intrusion, and the problem has been completely resolved. It’s refreshing to work with a roofing company that values craftsmanship, honesty, and customer service. Based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend NY Roofing Bronx to anyone looking for dependable roofing professionals who stand behind the quality of their work.

The existing system had been patched repeatedly, and water was beginning to reach the storage room. Test openings confirmed wet insulation around two curbs while most of the metal deck remained sound. We chose a PVC replacement with new tapered insulation and a cover board. Exhaust downtime was scheduled outside our busiest service hours. A corroded deck section around an abandoned opening was replaced and the opening was eliminated. Some dust reached a high storage shelf during tear-off, which we had to wipe down afterward. Other than that, the interior remained protected and the shop stayed open. Completion photos clearly showed the new curb flashing, walk pads, and repaired deck area. The roof has performed well and equipment service is much easier now.

From the initial inspection, they took the time to explain the condition of our roof, answer all of our questions, and provide a clear plan for the work that needed to be done. The crew was punctual, respectful, and very efficient. They worked carefully, paid attention to every detail, and made sure our property was protected throughout the project. Once the job was completed, they cleaned up everything and left the area looking great. What impressed us most was the communication and quality of the workmanship. We were kept updated throughout the process and felt confident that our roof was being handled by experienced professionals. The final result exceeded our expectations, and we are very happy with the durability and appearance of the finished roof. I would highly recommend Royal Roofing Queens to anyone looking for reliable roofing services. Their professionalism, craftsmanship, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly stand out.

For several years, I kept approving small repairs because a complete flat-roof replacement felt…read morefinancially out of reach. The leaks would stop temporarily, then another ceiling bubble would appear somewhere else. By the time we scheduled this inspection, water was also remaining on the roof long after the rain ended. The proposal separated necessary work from optional improvements and included an allowance for a reasonable amount of deck replacement. Financing was available through a third-party lender, with approval and terms determined by that lender. Under the plan we qualified for, we were able to move forward with monthly payments instead of postponing the project for another year. Once tear-off started, the crew found two roofing layers, compressed insulation near the drain, and deteriorated plank decking along part of the rear wall. They photographed those areas before covering them and stayed within the decking allowance. The replacement included new insulation, a cover board, EPDM membrane, rebuilt wall flashing, and a larger scupper to improve drainage. Our upstairs tenant received notice about the noisiest days, although the crew did arrive earlier than expected one morning. Other than that, access was handled thoughtfully and the neighboring property was swept at the end of the job. The first major rainfall showed a noticeable difference: water moved toward the scupper instead of collecting across the rear half of the roof. Being able to replace the complete system instead of funding another temporary patch gave us the peace of mind we were looking for.

He exclaimed a minimum of 2 men are required and it will take all day! REALLY? His estimate to CLEAN the debris from the roof gutters (3 sides) came to $750! REALLY? Honest business here? I then asked him what it would cost to clean my next door neighbor's roof gutters so that I can capitalize of some economies of scale here. The estimator then lowered his price to $450/house. REALLY?

The first heavy storm after our roof replacement happened sooner than I would have preferred, but…read moreit ended up being a good test. The new roof handled it without any water entering the building. Before replacement, the surface had blisters, cracked seams, and several areas that held water. We reviewed repair and replacement options, and the condition of the insulation made replacement the more sensible choice. The old layers were removed down to the wood deck. Most of the wood was sound, although several boards near the front parapet needed to be replaced. A self-adhered modified-bitumen system was installed over new insulation and a cover board. The chimney flashing, plumbing vents, and roof hatch were all completed individually. Additional taper was used near the rear drain to improve water flow. The Royal Renovators Inc. crew protected the front planting area and used the rear access for debris. We found a few scraps of membrane near the neighboring fence after completion, but they returned and picked them up the next morning. The final documents included photos, material information, and the written warranty. Months later, the roof is still draining well and the interior stains have not returned.

The roof on one my buildings had reached the point where the frequency of repairs were becoming…read more.. exponentially more frequent. So, it was time -- full roof replacement. Since the building is both commercial and residiential, one of the biggest concerns was minimizing disruption to tenants, and of course keeping everything on budget and organized. From the start, Royal Renovators seemed to understand these concerns and put together a plan that worked around the building's daily operations. The existing roof was removed, damaged areas were addressed/fized, and a new roofing system was installed along with snazzy updated flashing and drainage improvements. Communication throughout the project was - chefs kiss - and we always knew what stage things were in. As expected, there were additional conditions unconvered that needed to be addressed. But, these guys were transparent about it, laid out the options like they did before, and it didnt turn into pressure or surprises. What stood out was how transparent they were when additional conditions were uncovered. Every decision was discussed beforehand and documented with photos. In the end, the new roof was completed on time, and is performing exactly as expected.

I contacted Charles about a leak that started the night before. He got back to me right away, and…read moresent one of his guys to come look at the place first thing the next morning. The guy was very considerate and looked at everything, then he called Charles back, who called me, and quoted me $6,500 to replace the entire 250 square foot roof. He kept saying it was 500 square feet, which it definitely is not (he had not seen it in person). I tried to talk through various options with him, but as soon as it became clear I likely wasn't going to spend $6,500 on the spot to replace the entire roof, he became disinterested and eventually hung up on me. I get Charles not wanting to waste time, but the numbers he was throwing at me seemed very large, especially for the situation. He wasn't wiling to talk through things at all unless I was going to commit to thousands of dollars on the spot. Also, after some less rushed research, $6,500 is a very high price for a 250 square foot flat roof. Charles seemed like a nice enough fellow - but I can't help feeling that I narrowly escaped being taken for a very expensive ride because i needed work done quickly - as anyone with a leaking roof likely can relate to!

EDIT (6 Months After Install): Two of the leaks that existed before the re-roof have persisted…read more Charles is always quick to answer the phone and send his team (honoring his warranty), but unfortunately they haven't solved the actual issues. Therefore, it's hard to give them more than a couple stars since the main value of having a roof is to prevent leaks, which this roof currently does not do. ORIGINAL: In short -- highly recommend. We called C. Johnston after suffering from sporadic leaks in our new apartment for the last 6 months. Charles, his sons, Santiago and the crew did a phenomenal job on a difficult project that involved laying down a new roof and replacing a skylight at our coop in SoHo. Much of the roof was underneath a large deck that had to be moved (and then reassembled) in order to replace the roof. The deck was put back together in great condition, and the new roof has withstood a few storms already with no leaks. The price was fair (Charles specifically made a point to not oversell a more expensive method when it wasn't needed) the communication was clear & frequent, and the team left my place in better condition then when they arrived. FWIW they're also the only roofers we've had that haven't tracked tar anywhere in my apartment. If you're considering a new roof in NYC, you'd be dumb not to call C. Johnston.
