Flat Roof Repair in Queens, New York
All Weather Roofing and Waterproofing — Call 718-472-4424
Flat roofs are a common feature of buildings across Queens and the greater New York City area. From multi-family homes and brownstones to large commercial warehouses and industrial facilities, flat roofing systems provide cost-effective coverage and modern architectural appeal. Yet, despite their advantages, flat roofs require specialized knowledge, careful installation, and ongoing maintenance to prevent leaks, ponding water, and premature deterioration.
At All Weather Roofing and Waterproofing, we understand the unique challenges that come with flat roof repair in New York’s demanding climate. With decades of combined experience, our licensed and insured crews deliver long-lasting solutions tailored to both residential and commercial clients. Whether your property needs routine maintenance, a targeted repair, or a full flat roof replacement, we’re here to protect your investment with professional workmanship and quality materials.
The Challenge of Flat Roofs in New York
Queens experiences a wide range of weather conditions throughout the year — from freezing winter snow and ice to humid summers, heavy rainfall, and salt-laden coastal winds. Flat roofs, while durable, are especially vulnerable to this type of weather because of their limited slope. Water and melting snow don’t always drain quickly, which can lead to ponding, membrane stress, and leaks around seams or flashing.
Flat roofing systems also absorb significant heat in the summer months. Without proper ventilation, insulation, or reflective coatings, this can increase cooling costs and shorten the roof’s lifespan. That’s why having a skilled team like All Weather Roofing and Waterproofing is essential. We diagnose the root cause of issues, not just the surface symptoms, and we apply industry-approved repair techniques that keep your roof performing for years to come.

Choosing the Right Flat Roofing Material
It’s not easy to decide what type of flat roof is best for your building. Some flat roofing treatments are equally suitable for new construction or re-roofing applications, while others are not. Certain materials perform well on large commercial projects but may be problematic on smaller residential roofs. Energy efficiency, maintenance needs, and installation costs are also important considerations when making your choice.
At All Weather Roofing and Waterproofing, we provide clear guidance on the pros and cons of each roofing system. Our experienced team works closely with property owners, managers, and contractors to match the right material to the right building. We also evaluate existing roofs to determine whether a repair, restoration, or full replacement is the best path forward.
Types of Flat Roofing Systems
Modified Bitumen (MBR)
Modified bitumen roofing is a proven, cost-effective system that has been widely used for decades. Installed in layers with hot asphalt or cold adhesive, it provides strong waterproofing protection. It is an excellent option for smaller commercial buildings or residential flat roofs in Queens.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane known for its durability and UV resistance. It can last 20–30 years with proper care and is often used on larger roofs. EPDM is relatively lightweight, making it a good option for buildings that may not support heavier roofing systems.
TPO Roofing
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a popular single-ply roofing system that reflects sunlight and reduces cooling costs. It is heat-welded at the seams for superior waterproofing. Many commercial property owners in Queens choose TPO for its energy savings and low maintenance.
PVC Roofing
PVC is similar to TPO but offers stronger chemical resistance, making it ideal for restaurants, industrial facilities, or buildings with rooftop HVAC systems that may release oils or chemicals. Its white surface also provides excellent heat reflectivity.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Known as “tar and gravel,” BUR is one of the oldest flat roofing systems. It is made of alternating layers of asphalt and reinforcing fabric, topped with gravel or a mineral cap sheet. BUR is extremely durable but heavier than other systems, so structural load capacity must be considered.
