Roofing

Roofing Contractor for All Five Boroughs

Most NYC roofs are flat, which means they are not really roofs so much as drainage systems: a membrane, a slope, a drain and a parapet, and water finds whichever one you got wrong. We install and replace flat roof systems, repair the ones that still have life in them, and do pitched shingle and flashing work on the houses that have it. Every roof we install is permitted, and we are on site until the drains, the flashing and the parapet all do their job.

Roofing by Best Valana in Queens, NY
Why Choose Us

Why Choose Best Valana

Flat and Pitched

Modified bitumen, self-adhered membrane systems and shingle roofs. We work on what your building actually has, not just what we prefer to install.

Permitted Properly

Roof replacement in New York City needs a permit. We file it, so the work is on record and your building stays compliant.

Parapets Included

On a flat roof the parapet and the coping are where leaks usually start. We address them as part of the roof, not as a change order.

Tight Weather Windows

We stage roof work so an open roof is never left open overnight, and we watch the forecast the same way you do.

Our Process

Our Process

1

Free Inspection

We go up on the roof, find where the water is actually getting in, and tell you whether you need a repair or a replacement.

2

Written Estimate

A detailed scope and price in writing before anything is ordered, so you can compare it against anyone else.

3

Permits and Materials

We file for the permit and stage materials so the tear-off and the install happen in the same weather window.

4

Install and Clean-Up

The roof goes on, the drains are tested, the debris leaves with us, and you get the paperwork.
