Damaged Roof Replacement for Queens Buildings
Damaged roof replacement by Foundry Roofing begins with an on-roof assessment of how far the damage reached. If the roof is open, we tarp it first. Then we tear off the failed roof, install a new one and document each stage for your insurance claim.

Damage assessed on the roof
What the damage leaves under the surface
The assessment opens the roof where the damage hit and sets the scope.
| Damage | Assessment finds | Replacement includes |
|---|---|---|
| Storm and wind | Torn membrane, lifted edge and parapet flashing | Tear-off, new underlayment and flashing, new flat or shingle roof |
| Hail | Bruised membrane, split seams, cracked shingles | Tear-off, new underlayment, new membrane or shingles |
| Fallen tree | Punctured roofing, cracked deck boards, crushed drains | Debris removal, cracked deck replaced, new drains, new roof |
| Water damage, rotted or sagging deck | Soaked underlayment, rotted plywood or plank, ponding at blocked drains | Deck rebuilt before the new roof goes on, drains cleared, new roof |
Repair or replace: the inspection decides
We take moisture readings and cut a core.
A repair is enough
When only one section is hit and the deck is dry, you have localized membrane damage that only needs a repair.
Full replacement
Full replacement is needed when damage covers much of the roof, the decking is rotted or sagging, water has spread under the membrane, or old layers already sit on the deck.
If a repair will do, we tell you so.
Your claim file, then a clean site
Before tear-off, we photograph and record every damaged area so the adjuster sees the roof as the damage left it. That report then goes through your insurance claim.
Tear-off, disposal and cleanup of the roof, grounds and gutters are part of the job.
The report records
- Dated photos of each damaged area
- Roof measurements in squares
- What caused the damage
- An itemized replacement scope
Questions before the tear-off
Do you replace apartment and commercial flat roofs, and house shingle roofs?
Yes. Flat and low-slope multi-family, co-op, condo, mixed-use and commercial roofs are our specialty, in TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen, plus asphalt shingle on single-family homes.
Can you tarp the roof while the replacement is scheduled?
Usually the same day you call. We tarp the damaged roof and keep it sealed until replacement starts.
How long does a damaged roof replacement take once work starts?
Roof size and deck replacement decide it. Your estimate lists the schedule in working days.
What does the free estimate include?
Four parts: an on-roof assessment, damage photos, measurements and a written price for the replacement scope.
