Affordable Roofing Repair and Replacement Backed by 15 Years Experience

America Construction has spent 15 years repairing and replacing roofs across New York and New Jersey, on everything from single-family homes to commercial flat roofs. That means we've seen most of what a Northeast winter and hurricane season can do to a roof — and we know which repairs actually hold up and which ones just buy you a year before the same leak comes back.

Repair or Replace? How to Tell

Not every roof problem means you need a full replacement, and we won't sell you one you don't need. As a general guide:

• Repair is usually enough when the damage is localized — a handful of missing or cracked shingles, a single flashing leak, or storm damage to one section of the roof.
• Replacement makes more sense when the roof is past 20 years old, has widespread granule loss, has been patched multiple times in the same spot, or shows sagging that suggests deck damage underneath.

We'll give you a straight answer on which one your roof actually needs during a free, in-person inspection — not a guess over the phone.

Roofing Materials We Work With

Asphalt Shingles — The most common residential roofing material for a reason: proven durability, a wide range of styles and colors, and a cost that fits most budgets. A solid choice for the majority of homes we work on.

Roll-On (Modified Bitumen) — A rolled asphalt roofing system built for low-slope and flat roofs, where standard shingles aren't an option. Installed in overlapping layers for a fully sealed, waterproof surface.

EPDM (Rubber Roofing) — A synthetic rubber membrane widely used on flat and commercial roofs for its resistance to UV exposure and temperature swings. Long-lasting and low-maintenance once installed correctly.

What Affects Your Roofing Cost

No two roofs price out the same, but the biggest factors are usually:

• Roof size and pitch — a steeper roof takes longer to work on safely and uses more material.
• Material choice — asphalt, roll-on, and EPDM all have different material and labor costs.
• Number of layers to remove — tearing off multiple old layers adds time and disposal cost.
• Deck condition — if there's rot or damage under the old roofing, that needs to be repaired before new material goes down.

We walk through all of this with you during your estimate, so there are no surprise line items once the work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to three days, weather permitting. Commercial and flat roofs can take longer depending on size and access.

Do you handle emergency roof repairs?
Yes. If a storm has left you with an active leak, contact us and we'll prioritize getting it stabilized before it causes further damage inside your home.

Is a roof inspection really necessary before I sell my home?
It's one of the most common items buyers' inspectors flag, and catching an issue yourself first gives you room to fix it on your own terms instead of during negotiations.
