Shingle Repair in Queens, NY

All Weather Roofing and Waterproofing

Shingle roofing remains one of the most popular and cost-effective choices for homeowners across Queens and the greater New York City area. Asphalt shingles, in particular, dominate the market because they are durable, affordable, and available in a wide variety of colors and styles to suit nearly any type of home. But even the best shingle roof will eventually require repairs due to age, weather damage, or general wear and tear.

At All Weather Roofing and Waterproofing, we specialize in both shingle repair and shingle replacement. Whether your roof has been damaged by a storm, shows signs of aging, or needs a full upgrade, our team delivers professional service that restores your roof’s appearance and functionality while protecting your home and investment.

Why Shingle Repair Matters in Queens

Queens homeowners face a wide range of weather conditions: high winds, heavy rains, snow, ice, and intense summer heat. Asphalt shingles can crack, curl, or blow off under these conditions. Even minor shingle damage, if left unattended, can allow water to penetrate beneath the roofing system and compromise the structure of your home.

Regular inspections and timely repairs extend the life of your roof and prevent costly interior damage. Missing or broken shingles should be replaced quickly, flashing should be checked for leaks, and worn areas should be sealed before small issues turn into major ones.

Common Signs Your Shingle Roof Needs Repair

Missing Shingles: Often caused by wind damage. Gaps allow water into the underlayment.
Curling or Buckling: Usually indicates aging shingles or improper installation.
Granule Loss: When granules wear off, shingles lose UV protection and degrade faster.
Leaks or Stains Indoors: Water marks on ceilings or walls often trace back to roof damage.
Damaged Flashing: Around chimneys, vents, or skylights, flashing failures are common entry points for water.
Sagging Roof Deck: May indicate water damage beneath the shingles and requires immediate attention.

Repair vs. Replacement

Not all roofs need to be replaced at the first sign of damage. If the majority of your shingles are still in good condition, localized repairs can be a cost-effective solution. However, if your roof is more than 20 years old, has widespread granule loss, or has multiple leaks, a full replacement is often the smarter investment.

Our experts at All Weather Roofing and Waterproofing can evaluate your existing roof and help you decide whether shingle repair or complete reroofing is the best choice.

Shingle Roof Intallation is our speciality

There are different types of roofing shingles used in building construction today. Architectural shingles come in two general categories - asphalt and wood. Once upon a time, wooden shingles were very popular. Not any longer. Their expensive nature has relegated wooden shingles to niche status with only a few ornate projects with large enough budgets being able to afford this luxury.

For other home owners and building contractors, asphalt shingles are the natural choice. Asphalt shingles are less expensive. They are also easily found in most hardware stores across the country. As a roofing material, asphalt shingles are hardy and can tolerate extremes of weather. Durability is high with typical longevity being 20 to 30 years.

“Go-Over” vs. “Reroof” in New York State

In New York, property owners sometimes ask whether they can install a new layer of shingles directly over the old one — a process called a “go-over” — instead of performing a full tear-off. State and local building codes allow this in some cases, but with restrictions.

One Additional Layer Maximum: In most New York jurisdictions, including Queens, you may install one additional layer of shingles over an existing layer. However, you cannot exceed two layers in total.
Condition of Roof Decking: A go-over is only permitted if the underlying decking and structure are sound. If there is rot or water damage, a full tear-off is required.
Weight Concerns: Shingles are heavy. Adding a second layer can increase the structural load on the home. Older homes may not safely support the added weight.
Warranty Implications: Some manufacturers may limit or void warranties on shingle products if they are installed over an old roof rather than on a clean deck.

While a go-over may save money in the short term, a complete tear-off and reroof often provides better long-term value because it allows for inspection and repair of the decking, installation of new underlayment, and longer-lasting results.

Rewritten Cost Breakdown: Shingle Reroofing in New York

Many homeowners wonder: How much will it cost to tear off and replace my roof in the New York area? The answer depends on several factors, from the size and pitch of your roof to the materials and the condition of the existing structure.

Key Factors That Affect Shingle Roof Replacement Costs:

Underlayment Selection:
Underlayment is the protective layer installed between the roof deck and shingles. It can be traditional felt, synthetic, or premium self-adhesive products like Henry Blueskin. High-performance underlayments cost more but provide enhanced protection, especially if you plan to install solar panels.
Chimneys & Flashing:
Chimneys require metal flashing to seal the transition between masonry and shingles. Each chimney adds labor and material costs, so homes with multiple chimneys will see higher totals.
Layers of Existing Roofing:
If your roof already has one or more layers of shingles, those must be removed before replacement. Additional layers increase labor time and disposal costs. Damaged or rotted plywood decking must also be replaced.
Roof Pitch & Accessibility:
Steeper roofs are more labor-intensive and may require scaffolding or specialized safety measures, which adds to cost. Accessibility of the property also influences pricing.
Shingle Material & Quality:
Asphalt shingles vary in thickness, style, and warranty coverage. Three-tab shingles are the most economical, while architectural and designer shingles cost more but provide enhanced durability and curb appeal. While asphalt dominates the market, premium options like metal, slate, or cedar shake can cost significantly more.
