  I cannot recommend Skyward Roofing. We contracted for a complicated job last winter, involving the replacement of the roof, rebuilding the chimney and restoring the dormers on a landmarked townhouse in NYC. The job was complicated due to having so many components, but Robert assured me he could handle it. On the plus side, his workers were fast and did a thorough job removing the many layers of the old roof. The mason he hired to replace the chimney also did a good job, using old bricks to replicate the look of the original chimney. The problem was Skyward's workers: fast and eager, who may be good at standard-issue NYC roofing but were definitely not equipped to deal with an old building. The first problem came up with the dormers. I had asked Skyward to uncover the aluminum cladding so we could see what shape they were in. They were largely intact, and I asked Robert to hold off while I consulted with Landmarks to determine how to best proceed. Two days later I found that the crew had demolished the 200 year old carpentry and started to nail plywood over the framing. Robert was apologetic, but blamed it on "miscommunication". Unfortunately, "fast and loose" was how things proceeded from there. The crew cut holes for new skylights, but didn't bother to center them between the joists, which are exposed in the interior. I guess it was easier to just build a frame against one joist, resulting in all the skylights being off-center. The frames were often not level with the roofline, just slapped in fast, meaning that the interior finish carpenters had to trim or even rebuild the 2x6s from the inside to get a level surface for the trim. I could overlook all of this if not for the big problem: the roofing tiles were incorrectly installed. I'd ordered composite shingles, plastic shingles designed to look like wood shakes, similar to the composite slate shingles historic houses often use. The installation guide specified a minimum 3/16" gap between shingles, recommended

  They really helped us when our roof was damaged by fallen tree limbs. The initial insurance inspection had missed quite a bit of the damage, but they took the time to inspect everything thoroughly and helped us understand what needed to be done. They even met with the insurance adjuster to discuss the damage. The new roof was completed quickly and looks great.

  The rooftop drainage on our building had been a recurring nightmare with every heavy rain. They redesigned the whole system properly and we have not had a single backup since.
