New Rochelle Premium Roofing provides professional roof leak repair in New Rochelle, NY for residential and commercial properties across Westchester County. Nine leaks in ten on an older New Rochelle house are metal, not covering. Water gets past a tired valley, a rusted headwall or a chimney apron, then travels the underside of the sheathing before it ever shows on plaster.
That travel is why the stain is rarely under the hole. On board sheathing laid over open framing, water runs the length of a rafter bay and drops at the first obstruction, which might be a ceiling joist or a wiring run ten feet from the actual entry point. Following the stain rather than the path is why some houses collect three separate repairs that changed nothing at all.
Diagnosis begins under the deck. Working uphill from the wet spot with a moisture meter and a strong lamp, we trace the damp along the sheathing until it stops, then correlate that point with the roof plane sitting directly above it. Where the roof is inaccessible or the slate is brittle, we pole-camera the slope and hose-test in stages from the eave upward, one detail at a time, so the leak is proven rather than guessed at.
Repairs are made in kind. A cracked slate comes out with a ripper and goes back on a hook with a copper bib slipped above the joint. A failed valley is cut open, relined in twenty-ounce copper and re-slated. A pipe collar gets a soldered pan, not a bead of sealant over a split rubber boot that will be back in two winters looking exactly the same. Sealant is a diagnostic aid, never a repair.
There are repairs we refuse. Troweling roof cement into a slate joint, tarring a valley or foaming a chimney gap buys one dry season and destroys the salvage value of slate that had decades left in it. Any roof carrying a history of that kind of patching gets photographed and priced honestly, because the cement has to be cleaned off before real metal work can start. Cement removal is quoted as its own line.
Small repairs on one- and two-family houses under a hundred square feet with no sheathing replacement do not need a City permit, outside the historic district. Anything larger does, and we pull it rather than working around it. You get dated photographs of what was found, what was replaced, and what we deliberately left alone because it still had service life in it. The report is written to be read, not filed.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — lead-coated copper step and pan flashing, twenty-ounce cold-rolled copper valley linings, slate rippers and copper bib repairs, stainless slate hooks set at the head lap, semi-weathering gray and unfading green roofing slate, terne-coated stainless bay-roof pans — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Rochelle and nearby communities including Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Pelham, Pelham Manor.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof leak repair
The difference between roof leak repair that lasts and roof leak repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with lead-coated copper step and pan flashing, twenty-ounce cold-rolled copper valley linings, slate rippers and copper bib repairs, stainless slate hooks set at the head lap, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Rochelle job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Westchester County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
