Frankel Estate roofs are mostly older flat-slab construction whose original membranes have been patched repeatedly over the decades. Owners tend to arrive at the conclusion the rest of the East Coast reaches: another patch buys months, and a full strip-and-replace is the only durable answer.
Why Frankel Estate
Roof areas on these homes tend to be modest, which keeps total project cost reasonable. Many of the houses also have small accessible rooftop areas used for laundry or services, where the membrane must support occasional foot traffic. That pushes the spec toward torch-on bitumen with a protective screed rather than thinner PU-only systems.
Full torch-on system replacement on a modest roof is the typical job here. PU recoats remain popular where budgets are tight. We scope each roof after a free site assessment.
If the roof doubles as a laundry or services deck, say so when scoping the waterproofing: a membrane that will see foot traffic needs a protective screed or wearing layer, and the cheaper thin-coat systems that look fine on paper will not survive the traffic.
Common Questions
The cost depends on the system chosen (PU coatings, torch-on membranes, and cementitious systems with fabric reinforcement each carry different rates) as well as the roof area and the surface condition. We provide a tailored quote after a free roof inspection.
The right system depends on the existing roof, exposure, drainage, access and intended use. We compare complete assemblies, including preparation and details, rather than rank every acrylic, polyurethane or sheet product the same way. A trafficked or tiled roof needs a system specified for that finished build-up.
Torch-applied bituminous membranes use sheets with detailed seams and junctions. Liquid-applied systems form a membrane on the prepared substrate and can suit complex details. The exact product, application method, protection and inspection requirements determine suitability; the material category alone does not establish lifespan.
We offer emergency leak response. The immediate action depends on safe access, weather and the source of the leak. Where a temporary repair is appropriate, we explain its limits and arrange investigation and permanent work when conditions permit.
The written proposal states the warranty available for the selected system and installation. Check the issuer, covered area, remedy, exclusions and maintenance duties, including what happens if later equipment work disturbs the roof. We explain those terms before you commit.
Service life depends on the assembly, preparation, detailing, exposure, drainage and maintenance. We explain the selected system and its warranty terms, but do not use a single lifespan for every product in a material category.
