If a mistake was made during installation it usually will not leak for about 3–5 years, then suddenly the issues will start. Urban roof repairs require a different approach due to the conditions that have to be dealt with. I find the issues that others cannot, always thinking beyond the roof. I look at drainage, membranes, walls, windows, siding, and all parts, including rooftop decks.
Not everyone has the same training and they only know what their boss taught them. Most roofers did their best. I am repairing their work with honor. Let me help you — there is probably no need to replace the roof.
I respect any and every man on the roof. I am here to protect their efforts. No roof deserves an early death — not after the effort that has been put into it.
What I work on
Text or call me. Name, address, email — send a picture if you have one.
I do not know anyone that works on the roof that wants to do a bad job, but I do know that people are often not trained and they gather bad habits. The roof that gets done in a day usually has zero quality control, and that is when you find the most problems. The industry has shifted to subcontractors and that also leads to poor quality.
I focus on seeking oxidation, improper installation, or missed application of material. On both commercial and residential buildings, leaks can be so much more than just the roof — could be siding, masonry, windows, gutters. Fortunately I have the experience to resolve the issue.

1978
First roof · Still at it
I started in the roofing trade in 1978 in Crystal Lake, Illinois. I was taught by a type of person you don’t see around here. They were Norwegians and very proud of their work ethic. I was lucky to learn from them, and have worked the same way ever since.
I have worked every part of the roofing industry since, from homes to missile sites and everything in between. Some of the roofs I put on in the eighties are still dry. That is not luck. It is what happens when the men you work with feel like they have purpose and pride. No rushing on the job and nothing but quality. Many schools, like Neptune High School and Monmouth Beach School, NJ Turnpike facilities, and about 3,000 more buildings.
I stand behind work I did forty years ago. I am slowing down now, mostly doing repairs and running a non-profit for teaching AMERICANS how to roof for the long term. That is a harder thing to say than it sounds, but I will keep doing it. I like being a roofer and I am just a roofer.

If I have worked on your roof — last month or thirty years ago — write it here yourself. It goes straight onto the page. Good or bad, I put them all up.
