For over two decades, NYC Industrial Roofing has been the premier industrial and commercial roofing contractor serving all five boroughs of New York City. We were founded on a simple belief: New York’s businesses and building owners deserve a roofing contractor who actually shows up, communicates clearly, delivers quality work, and stands behind every project with a real warranty.
Today, we are proud to be the go-to industrial roofing company for factories, warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, retail buildings, mixed-use commercial properties, and large residential buildings across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island.
As New York City’s full-service industrial roofing contractor, we offer every type of commercial and industrial roofing system available — installed, repaired, and maintained by certified specialists who know NYC buildings inside and out. Below are our core roofing services, each performed in full compliance with NYC Department of Buildings codes and OSHA safety standards.
Our industrial roofing installation service covers new roofing systems for factories, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, logistics centers, and large commercial buildings across all five NYC boroughs. We conduct a thorough structural assessment of your building before recommending the optimal roofing system — whether that’s TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, or metal.
Flat roofing is the dominant roofing type for commercial and industrial buildings throughout New York City — and it requires specialized expertise to install and maintain properly. NYC Industrial Roofing handles all categories of flat roof repair, including ponding water and drainage failures, membrane blistering and cracking, seam and lap failures, flashing deterioration at walls and penetrations, and complete flat roof membrane replacement.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing is the most widely specified single-ply roofing membrane for commercial and industrial buildings in New York City — and for good reason. TPO membranes are highly reflective, energy-efficient, chemically resistant, and extremely durable in the face of New York’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snowfall, UV exposure, and summer heatWe install EPDM in fully adhered, mechanically fastened.
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber roofing has been a trusted solution for commercial and industrial buildings for over 50 years — and remains one of the most durable and weather-resistant roofing options available. EPDM’s exceptional flexibility in cold temperatures makes it an outstanding choice for New York City buildings, where winter freeze-thaw cycles.
For New York industrial and commercial buildings seeking maximum longevity, standing seam metal roofing delivers a lifespan of 40 to 70 years — far exceeding the service life of most membrane roofing systems. Our metal roofing division installs steel, aluminum, and Galvalume standing seam systems for industrial facilities, warehouses, and commercial properties across all five boroughs.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) — sometimes called tar and gravel roofing — is the time-tested multi-ply roofing system used on New York commercial and industrial buildings for over a century. Multiple layers of bitumen-saturated felts or fiberglass mats, alternated with hot or cold applied bitumen, create a thick, monolithic waterproofing membrane that is highly resistant to traffic and puncture.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) single-ply roofing membranes offer exceptional chemical resistance, making them the system of choice for New York City restaurants, food processing facilities, industrial kitchens, and any commercial building where rooftop grease and chemical exposure is a concern. PVC membranes are heat-welded at seams.
Modified Bitumen roofing combines the proven track record of traditional built-up roofing with the flexibility and durability of modern polymer modification. APP (Atactic Polypropylene) and SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) modified bitumen systems are widely used on New York City commercial and industrial buildings — particularly for buildings requiring.
If your existing industrial or commercial roof is structurally sound but showing signs of wear, a professional roof coating system can extend its service life by 10 to 15 years at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. NYC Industrial Roofing applies elastomeric, silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane roof coatings to TPO, EPDM, metal, built-up, and modified bitumen roof systems across New York City.
Roof coatings also restore reflectivity to aging membranes, reducing rooftop temperatures
Roof emergencies don’t follow business hours — and neither does our team. NYC Industrial Roofing provides 24-hour, 7-days-a-week emergency roof repair services across all five boroughs of New York City. Our emergency response crews are dispatched with full materials and equipment to provide immediate protection and permanent repair for all types of industrial and commercial roofing emergencies.
We respond to storm damage, wind-lifted membranes, sudden interior leaks, structural roofing.
The most cost-effective approach to industrial roofing is regular inspection and preventative maintenance — catching small problems before they become expensive emergencies. NYC Industrial Roofing offers comprehensive commercial and industrial roof inspection services, including visual membrane assessments, infrared thermographic scanning to detect wet insulation, drainage system evaluations, and detailed written inspection reports with photographs.
New York City’s Urban Heat Island effect increases rooftop temperatures dramatically — raising air conditioning costs and contributing to energy waste. NYC’s Local Law 97 and the NYC Cool Roof Mandate require many commercial buildings to install reflective cool roofing systems. NYC Industrial Roofing specializes in cool roof compliance for industrial and commercial buildings across all five boroughs.
Our cool roofing solutions include white TPO and PVC membranes.

We install all major commercial and industrial roofing systems used in New York City buildings, including TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber roofing, PVC single-ply membranes, Built-Up Roofing (BUR), Modified Bitumen systems, Standing Seam Metal Roofing, Roof Coating Systems, and Green Roof and Vegetated Roofing systems. Our team recommends the optimal system for each building based on structural requirements, slope, load capacity, energy performance goals, and budget. We are factory-certified installers for all leading roofing manufacturers.
Yes — and we handle the entire permit process on your behalf. In New York City, roofing replacement and major repair work typically requires a permit from the NYC Department of Buildings. We prepare and file all required permit applications, pay associated filing fees, coordinate required DOB inspections, and ensure that your project is fully compliant with NYC Building Code and Fire Department regulations. You never need to navigate the DOB process yourself — we manage it completely.
Project timelines vary based on roof size, system type, site access conditions, and permit processing time. A typical small-to-mid-size industrial roof replacement of 5,000 to 15,000 square feet generally takes 3 to 7 business days of active installation, assuming good weather. Larger industrial roofs of 50,000 to 200,000 square feet may require 3 to 8 weeks of phased installation. We provide a firm timeline in your written proposal and build project schedules that minimize impact on your business operations. Night work and weekend shifts are available for time-sensitive situations.
Absolutely. NYC Industrial Roofing holds a valid New York State Home Improvement Contractor license and all required New York City contractor registrations. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance with a minimum of $2 million per occurrence and full workers' compensation coverage on every job. We provide certificates of insurance upon request and can name your building, organization, or lender as an additional insured on our policy — a standard requirement for NYC commercial building projects.
Yes — we provide 24-hour, 7-days-a-week emergency roofing services across all five boroughs of New York City. Storm damage, wind-lifted membranes, sudden interior leaks, structural roofing failures, and any other roofing emergency are handled by our dedicated emergency response team. We typically have crews on-site within 2 to 4 hours of an emergency call anywhere in the five boroughs. We also document all emergency damage thoroughly for insurance claim and adjuster purposes.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on all roofing installations. This means that any defect or failure attributable to our installation methods or workmanship will be repaired at no cost to you within that 10-year period. This is entirely separate from the manufacturer material warranties that cover the roofing products themselves — which typically range from 15 to 30 years for single-ply membrane systems and up to 50 years for metal roofing. Because we are factory-certified installers, we can secure No Dollar Limit (NDL) manufacturer warranties on qualifying projects, which cover both materials and labor without a dollar cap.
Industrial and commercial roofing costs in New York City vary significantly based on roof size, the roofing system specified, the condition and number of existing roof layers, building access complexity, required permit fees, and current material pricing. As a general reference: TPO and EPDM single-ply roofing typically ranges from $8 to $14 per square foot installed; PVC and modified bitumen systems typically run $9 to $15 per square foot; metal roofing ranges from $12 to $22 per square foot depending on the system; and roof coating applications can range from $3 to $7 per square foot depending on the type and condition of the existing surface. We provide detailed, itemized written estimates at no charge following our roof inspection — giving you an accurate, project-specific price rather than a rough range.
Yes — roofing occupied NYC commercial and industrial buildings is something we do regularly, and it requires a level of planning and coordination that many roofing contractors are not equipped to provide.

We communicate proactively with your building management team throughout the project, and we offer early morning, evening, and weekend work options for particularly sensitive operations. Our goal is always to complete your roofing project with the absolute minimum disruption to your business.
Yes — we offer customized annual and bi-annual preventative maintenance programs for commercial and industrial properties throughout New York City.

Regular maintenance is the most cost-effective approach to industrial roof management — it extends the lifespan of your roofing system, maintains your manufacturer warranty compliance, and prevents small problems from becoming major expenses. We also offer multi-property portfolio maintenance packages for property management firms.
