Questions and Answers

How does a silicone coating fix common roof leaks in Long Island City?

Our silicone system directly addresses typical Long Island City issues like skylight and chimney flashing leaks. We repair the existing roof as needed, then thoroughly clean the surface. All seams and flashings are treated with a fiber-reinforced silicone coating before the entire roof is covered with a seamless, waterproof membrane. This creates a durable, monolithic barrier that prevents water from penetrating at these common failure points.

What are the main advantages of a silicone roof over a full tear-off?

The primary advantage is avoiding a costly and disruptive tear-off, especially if your roof already has two layers—where a tear-off is legally required for a traditional replacement. Our silicone system is applied directly over your existing, prepared roof. It's an inert material that withstands extreme NYC temperatures and UV exposure, providing a seamless, waterproof layer with warranties available for 10-20 years, all without the mess and expense of removal.

Why is Gaco Western's warranty important for my Long Island City roof?

A strong manufacturer's warranty provides long-term peace of mind. We partner with Gaco Western, a company with over 60 years of history, to back our installations. Their warranty coverage means the product and application are held to high standards. For a homeowner in our climate, this assurance is crucial, as it protects your investment against material defects and performance issues for a decade or more.
