Pick the Roofing Call That Fits Your Situation
Most people contact us for one of four reasons. Knowing which one you are helps us send the right roofer with the right materials the first time.
My roof is leaking now
Water coming through a ceiling, a skylight or down a wall. We make the roof watertight first, with a temporary seal or tarp if the weather won’t allow a permanent repair yet.
Roof repair in BrooklynI need an inspection or estimate
An old stain, an aging roof, a home you’re buying or selling, or an insurer asking for a roof report. You get photos and a written price, not a guess over the phone.
Book an inspectionI’m planning a new roof
Re-roofs, tear-offs and new roofs for flat and pitched roofs, with NYC permit and cool-roof requirements sorted out before work starts.
Shingle roofs in BrooklynI manage a building or business
Co-ops, walk-ups, storefronts with apartments above and warehouses. Written scopes, insurance certificates and work scheduled around tenants and customers.
Request a quoteWhat to Have Ready When You Call a Brooklyn Roofer
A two-minute call goes a lot further when we know a few basics. None of this is required, but each detail helps us show up prepared.
- The address and building type: brownstone, rowhouse, two-family, detached house, walk-up, storefront or warehouse.
- Where the water shows up: top-floor ceiling, along a side wall, above the front windows, around a skylight or in the basement.
- When it leaks: every rain, only in heavy storms, after snow melts or days after the rain stops. Each pattern points to a different cause.
- The roof type, if you know it: rubber (EPDM), torch-down, tar, silver-coated, shingle or slate.
- How we get up: roof hatch, bulkhead door or a spot for a ladder, and whether the building is on a landmarked block.
- Past repairs: who worked on it, when, and whether the same spot has been patched before.
Do I need to be home for the roof inspection?
Usually, yes, or someone needs to let us in. Most Brooklyn flat roofs are reached through a hatch or bulkhead inside the building, and we also want to see the stain from inside so we can trace the water back to where it enters. For detached homes with a pitched roof, we can sometimes inspect from a ladder outside. Ask when you call.
Should I take photos of the leak?
Yes. Photograph ceiling stains, wet spots and anything you can safely see of the roof from a window, with the date. The photos help us understand the problem before we arrive, and they’re useful if you end up filing an insurance claim.
Roof Leaking Right Now? What to Do Before the Roofer Arrives
These steps protect your home and your family while we’re on the way. They won’t stop the leak, but they can save a ceiling, a floor and a lot of money.
- 01
Stay safe around electricity
If water is near a light fixture, outlet or ceiling fan, switch off that circuit at the breaker if you can do it safely, and don’t touch wet fixtures.
- 02
Catch the water
Buckets, pots and towels under every drip. Put a towel inside the bucket to stop splashing on wood floors.
- 03
Watch for a bulging ceiling
If plaster or drywall is sagging with trapped water, a small hole at the lowest point with a bucket underneath lets it drain instead of letting the ceiling give way. Stand to the side.
- 04
Move valuables and furniture
Electronics, rugs, documents and anything that can’t get wet. Cover what you can’t move with plastic sheeting.
- 05
Document everything
Photos and short videos of stains, drips and damaged belongings, with the date. Your insurer will want them.
- 06
Stay off the roof
Wet membranes, slate and parapet edges are dangerous in rain, wind and ice. Leave the roof to a crew with fall protection.
One thing Brooklyn owners are often surprised by: on attached buildings, the drip inside is rarely right under the hole. Water travels along roof boards, party walls and parapets before it shows up, which is why a patch on the obvious spot often fails. Finding the real entry point is the job.
What Happens After You Contact Us
No runaround and no pressure. Here’s how a typical job moves from your call to a dry roof.
- 01
We talk through the problem
Where it leaks, how long, what’s been tried. Active leaks and storm damage go to the front of the line.
- 02
We set a time to look at the roof
We’ll arrange access with you, including the hatch or bulkhead, and a neighbor’s roof if the work requires it.
- 03
On-roof inspection with photos
The whole roof, not just the spot above the stain: surface, seams, flashing, parapets, coping, drains, skylights and chimney.
- 04
A written, line-item quote
Repair, coat or replace, with materials, permits and any per-board price for rotted decking spelled out. Take the time you need.
- 05
The work and the walk-through
Permits filed when required, sidewalk and neighbors’ roofs protected, site cleaned daily, and before-and-after photos at the end.
Why Brooklyn Homeowners and Landlords Call Us
Close to half of Brooklyn’s homes were built before 1939, and most are attached with flat roofs behind parapets. These are the problems that fill our phone every season.
Ponding and clogged drains
Street-tree leaves clog roof drains and leaders every fall, and flat roofs hold water for days after summer downpours.
Parapet and coping leaks
Freeze-thaw winters crack coping stones and mortar joints, letting water into the top-floor walls of brownstones and walk-ups.
Party-wall and neighbor leaks
On a row of attached homes, water from the roof next door can run along a shared wall and show up in your bedroom.
Wind-driven rain near the water
Homes in Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, Gerritsen Beach, Red Hook and Bay Ridge take the brunt of coastal storms and nor’easters.
Patches that didn’t hold
Silver paint over a wet roof, mastic on a seam, a new layer over two old ones. We trace the real cause instead of adding another patch.
Tenant complaints and violations
For owner-landlords, an ignored roof leak can turn into an HPD complaint. We find it and fix it so the next rain isn’t another call.

Questions to Ask Any Roofing Contractor in NYC Before You Hire
Whether you call us or someone else, these questions separate a real local roofing company from a crew that disappears after the check clears.
Is the roofer licensed for home improvement work in NYC?
Roof work on a home in New York City requires a Home Improvement Contractor license from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP). Ask for the license number and look it up on the DCWP website.
Can they show proof of insurance?
Ask for a certificate of insurance before work starts. Co-op boards and managing agents will usually require one anyway.
Does the quote spell out the work in writing?
A real estimate names the roofing system, the flashing and drain work, permits, cleanup and the price per board for any rotted decking found during tear-off.
Who handles permits, Landmarks and torch rules?
Full replacements generally need a DOB permit, landmarked blocks may need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, and torch-applied roofing requires FDNY-certified roofers and a fire guard. Your roofer should explain which apply to your job.
We’re happy to be checked the same way. Our license number and proof of insurance are provided on request, and you can read what Brooklyn customers say on our customer reviews page or learn more about All State Roofing – Brooklyn.

Call All State RoofingQuestions About Contacting All State Roofing – Brooklyn
What’s the fastest way to reach All State Roofing – Brooklyn?
Call (929) 695-6095. A phone call lets us ask the right questions about your building and your leak, and it’s the quickest way to get a roofer scheduled.
Do you take emergency roof calls?
Yes. Call us about active leaks and storm damage. We’ll walk you through protecting the inside of your home, then make the roof watertight, with a temporary seal or tarp first if the weather won’t allow a permanent repair.
How soon can a roofer come out?
It depends on the weather, roof access and how many jobs are open that week. Active leaks go to the front of the line, and we’ll give you a realistic time on the phone rather than a promise we can’t keep.
Do you give written estimates?
Yes. After we inspect the roof, you get a written, line-item quote that names the roofing system, flashing and drain work, permits, cleanup and the price per board for any rotted decking. We don’t give firm prices for roofs we haven’t seen.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
Usually someone needs to let us in, because most Brooklyn flat roofs are reached through a hatch or bulkhead inside the building, and we want to see the stain from inside. For some detached homes we can inspect from a ladder outside.
Do you come to my property for the estimate?
Yes. Every inspection and estimate happens at your building, since we need to see the roof and the leak from inside. Call (929) 695-6095 and we’ll set a time.
Which areas do you serve?
All of Brooklyn, from Greenpoint and Williamsburg to Bay Ridge, Coney Island, Marine Park and Canarsie, plus nearby parts of Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan. If you’re not sure about your address, call and ask.
Do you work on commercial buildings and co-ops?
Yes. We work on storefronts, mixed-use buildings, walk-ups, co-ops and warehouses, and we provide written scopes and insurance certificates for boards and managing agents.
Do you handle permits and Landmarks approval?
Yes. When a job needs a DOB permit, Landmarks Preservation Commission approval or FDNY-compliant torch work, we tell you up front, include it in the quote and handle the filing.
Can you help with a roof insurance claim?
We can document storm damage with photos and a written report you can give your adjuster. Your insurance company decides what’s covered, so check your policy and call your insurer as well.
What payment methods do you accept?
Checks are accepted. Ask about other payment options when you call.
Are you connected to Allstate Insurance?
