Washington Square West Roofs We Work On
- Rowhouses with roof decks. Many of the neighborhood's three- and four-story rows have a deck on top for the skyline view. The roof under the deck wears where the posts and sleepers sit, and the pilot house door is a common leak point.
- Historic rows. Behind the front slope, many older homes have a flat roof over the main house or rear section, often with several layers from past repairs. See our flat roof repair and replacement page.
- Homes on narrow side streets. A lot of homes sit on one-lane or pedestrian-only streets. We carry materials in by hand, keep the walkway clear, and clean up the same day.
- Shops with apartments above. Along the retail blocks, many buildings have a storefront below and apartments above, with a larger flat roof and more edges to flash. We schedule work around business hours.
Roof Deck Leaks in Washington Square West
With so many tall rows and a view of the skyline, roof decks are everywhere here, and a leak under one is one of the most common calls we get. Water gets in where the deck's posts or sleepers have worn through the roof, or around the pilot house door, and it can travel down several floors before it shows up on a ceiling. The lasting fix is to lift the affected part of the deck, repair the roof underneath, and reset the deck. Under decks, we install an EPDM roof, which holds up well and is easy to repair when a section of the deck comes up.

What Our Customers Say
Washington Square West Roofing FAQs
My roof deck is leaking. Do you have to take the whole deck off?
Usually not. Most leaks come from one area, like the posts or sleepers wearing through the roof or the flashing at the pilot house door. We lift only the part of the deck over the problem, repair the roof underneath, and reset it. We'll tell you up front how much needs to come up.
Can you work on a house on a narrow or pedestrian-only street?
Yes. We work on homes on small side streets regularly. We carry materials in by hand, keep the walkway clear for your neighbors, and clean up the same day.
I own a building with a shop downstairs. Can you work around business hours?
Yes. We'll plan the job so your storefront stays open, keep the sidewalk clear, and send you photos of the problem and the finished work.
