You’ll sleep better knowing your roof can handle heavy rains, snow loads, and temperature swings without failing. That’s what proper flat roofing looks like.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been solving flat roof problems across Long Island for over two decades. We’re not the guys who show up, slap on a quick fix, and disappear.

When other contractors couldn’t stop your leaks, we’re the ones who figured out what was really wrong and fixed it permanently. That’s why we’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
First, we inspect every inch of your flat roof to find the real source of problems, not just the obvious symptoms. Most leaks aren’t where you think they are.
Next, we explain exactly what needs fixing and why, with upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden costs, no pressure tactics.
Then we complete the repair or installation using proven materials like TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen systems designed for Long Island’s climate. We handle everything from surface prep to final waterproofing.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through what we did, so you understand your new roof and how to maintain it. You get our warranty and direct contact for any future questions.

We install and repair all major flat roofing systems including TPO thermoplastic membranes, EPDM rubber roofing, modified bitumen, and spray polyurethane foam systems. Each material has specific advantages depending on your building’s needs and budget.
Northwest Landing’s coastal climate demands roofing materials that can handle temperature swings, salt air, and heavy precipitation. That’s why we only use commercial-grade membranes with proven track records in harsh environments.
Whether you need emergency leak repair, preventive maintenance, complete roof replacement, or waterproofing services, we have the equipment and expertise to handle projects of any size. From small residential flat roofs to large commercial installations.
Our flat roof coatings and waterproofing systems extend roof life by years while improving energy efficiency. Many of our customers see immediate reductions in their heating and cooling costs after installation.
A properly installed flat roof in Northwest Landing typically lasts 15-25 years depending on the material and maintenance. TPO and EPDM rubber systems often reach 20-25 years with regular maintenance, while modified bitumen systems average 15-20 years.
The key factors affecting lifespan are installation quality, material choice, and regular maintenance. Long Island’s climate with freeze-thaw cycles, salt air, and occasional severe storms can be tough on roofing materials.
We see the biggest difference in longevity between roofs that get annual inspections and minor maintenance versus those that are ignored until problems develop. A small investment in preventive care typically doubles the roof’s lifespan.
Most flat roof leaks stem from failed seams, damaged flashing around penetrations, or ponding water that eventually finds weak spots. The tricky part is that water often travels far from where it enters before it drips inside.
We use infrared moisture detection and systematic inspection techniques to find the actual entry points, not just where you see water damage. Many contractors miss this step and only patch the obvious spots.
Permanent repairs require addressing the root cause, whether that’s improving drainage, replacing deteriorated membrane sections, or redesigning flashing details. Quick patches with roof cement might stop immediate leaks but rarely solve underlying problems that will resurface within months.
If your flat roof is under 10 years old with localized damage, repairs usually make sense. But if you’re dealing with multiple leaks, widespread membrane deterioration, or a roof approaching 15-20 years old, replacement often costs less long-term.
We evaluate factors like the extent of damage, age of existing system, insulation condition, and your building’s specific needs. Sometimes a roof restoration with coatings can extend life by 10+ years at a fraction of replacement cost.
The decision often comes down to whether you want to keep investing in an aging system or get decades of worry-free performance with a new installation. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on what makes the most financial sense for your situation.
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a white, reflective single-ply membrane that’s energy-efficient and chemically resistant. It’s heat-welded at seams for strong, permanent bonds and typically costs more upfront but saves on energy costs.
EPDM is a black rubber membrane that’s extremely durable and weather-resistant. It’s been proven for decades in harsh climates and costs less initially, though it absorbs more heat than TPO systems.
Modified bitumen combines the waterproofing properties of asphalt with polymer reinforcement. It’s applied in multiple layers with torch-down or cold-applied methods. It’s often the most economical option for smaller residential flat roofs and handles foot traffic well.
Flat roof installation costs in Northwest Landing typically range from $8-15 per square foot depending on the material, roof size, access difficulty, and existing conditions. TPO systems run $10-15 per square foot, EPDM costs $8-12 per square foot, and modified bitumen averages $9-13 per square foot.
Additional factors affecting price include tear-off requirements, insulation upgrades, drainage improvements, and flashing complexity. Larger roofs cost less per square foot due to economies of scale.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Emergency repairs typically cost $500-2,000 depending on the extent of damage, while preventive maintenance runs $200-500 annually for most residential flat roofs.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency flat roof repair services throughout Northwest Landing and surrounding Long Island areas. When you have active leaks damaging your property, we respond quickly to minimize interior damage and provide temporary protection.
Emergency services include leak detection, temporary patching, tarp installation, and water extraction coordination when needed. We carry materials and equipment to handle most urgent repairs immediately, not just provide temporary band-aids.
Our emergency response typically involves stabilizing the immediate problem, then scheduling permanent repairs once conditions allow for proper installation. We work directly with insurance companies when storm damage is involved to streamline the claims process and get your roof restored quickly.
