Roofing Services New York NY | Call Stevens Hernandez

We start with a thorough roof inspection to assess the extent of the separation and any resulting water damage. Our repair process involves carefully removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable waterproofing materials. For severe cases during a roof replacement, we ensure the new flashing is integrated perfectly with the roofing system to prevent future separation from New York's freeze-thaw cycles and high winds.

Yes, our roof cleaning service safely removes moss, algae, and debris. However, in New York's humid climate, cleaning alone is often a temporary fix. We perform a moisture control inspection to see if the moss has damaged shingles or trapped moisture. We may recommend repairs, and for long-term protection, we can install zinc or copper strips at the ridge (a moss inhibitor) or improve attic ventilation as part of a moisture control installation to create a drier roof environment where moss struggles to return.

Waterproofing is integral from the very start. For any building or balcony addition, we incorporate a complete moisture control system. This includes installing a robust moisture or vapor barrier within walls and foundations, flashing all new junctions where the addition meets the existing structure, and ensuring proper drainage. We follow up with a dedicated waterproofing inspection before closing walls. This proactive, layered approach is crucial in New York to prevent leaks and moisture intrusion for the life of your new space.
