What to do before the roofer arrives

  1. Contain the leak inside (bucket/towels) and move valuables away.

  2. Take photos/video of the damage for insurance and building records.

  3. If safe, check the top floor/attic to trace where water is entering (it can travel).

  4. Avoid going on the roof—NYC roofs can be slippery and access may be restricted.

How to choose a roofing contractor

  • Confirm licensing/insurance and experience with your roof type (flat vs pitched)

  • Get 2–3 estimates and compare scope (materials, labor, cleanup, warranty)

  • Ask for photos of the problem area and the proposed repair
