Here is what we measure on a typical New York City roofing job: gutters and downspouts, roof hatches and curbs, coping and edge metal, asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, TPO, EPDM, and PVC membranes, modified bitumen and built-up roofing, tapered and flat roof insulation, cover boards, and underlayment and ice barrier. Ice barrier, ventilation, and snow retention are measured. Corner and perimeter fastening zones and corrosion-resistant metals are included as specified. Each roofing line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

New York City projects carry costs that don't exist elsewhere, including hoisting, sidewalk sheds, DOB filings, union labor rates, and Local Law 97 compliance, so national averages don't work for pricing here. Whether you're bidding Local Law 97 energy retrofits or transit and airport modernization, our roofing estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Cold-climate roofing in New York City needs ice-dam protection, well-insulated decks, and heavy snow loads in mind. Our takeoffs include ice barrier, venting, and snow retention. Coastal roofs in the area face high winds and salt air, so specifications often require enhanced fastening, stainless or aluminum flashing, and sealed roof decks.
Code requirements change quantities, so our roofing estimators review every New York City drawing set against the NYC Construction Codes, paying attention to wind-uplift zones, edge securement, ice-barrier, and insulation R-value requirements. Where the scope involves DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, or Local Law 97 compliance, those costs are flagged so they are not missed at bid time. The takeoff is built in RoofSnap, AppliCad, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every New York City roofing bid we touch. We can price roofing labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. Inside the five boroughs, city-funded jobs use the Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and union labor is common on private work too. Share your plans and scope, and we'll send a fixed quote within an hour.
Our New York City roofing estimators work across all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Citywide rules (the NYC Construction Codes, DOB NOW filings, Local Law 97, and union labor) apply everywhere, and each borough adds its own building stock, from Manhattan towers to Staten Island one- and two-family homes. For borough-specific detail, see our Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island pages.
