Hire us to put a roof on your building
There are two main types of ways to reroof an existing building. One is a go-over method where a new roofing system is installed over the existing roof. The other method is roof replacement where the existing roofing materials are removed down to the substrate and then a new system is installed. The cost difference between installing the systems is large because of the difference in work involved.
When doing a go-over reroof. The existing roof is properly prepared – ballast removal, wet areas removed, etc., a separation coverboard is installed then the new roofing system complete with all it’s flashings and terminations.
With a roof replacement, all the existing materials are removed and disposed of, new insulation (thick enough to have an R-value to meet code) is installed, then the new roofing system complete with flashing and terminations.
A number of questions must be answered to determine which method is right for your building. First, are multiple roofs currently installed on top of each other? Second, are there many wet areas in the roof? Third, how bad is the condition of the existing roof? We will find answers to these questions through roof samples, infrared testing, investigation of warranties and documents from the building, etc.,
Once the method of reroofing is determined, it is time to find the right roofing system to install.

Reroofing in a congested area
When choosing a reroofing contractor and system it is important to remember what your roof is protecting. You have tenants, valuable property, electronics, interior finishing, etc. inside. Whether you are doing a go-over roof or a full roof replacement, the protective covering of you building is being taken apart, punctured, and changed. M. Gottfried, Inc. realizes how important it is to minimize disruptions to building occupants and perform our work in a fashion that leaves the roof “tight” at the end of each day. We coordinate with you or your property manager and discuss which areas we will be over, what type of work we are doinge and if anything special- crane, dumpster change, etc., is going on that day.
We strive to make the reroofing process smooth and cause the least disruption to you and your tenants as possible.

Manufacturer’s full warranties for our reroofing projects
Reroofing in an open area
M. Gottfried, Inc. offers full manufacturer’s warranties for our reroofing project. There are many different types of warranties being offered these days. Some are issued just by the installer, others are by manufacturers. Warranties can cover material only, be prorated (cover less and less over time), others have a no dollar limit for the life of the warranty.
We strongly recommend manufacturers warranties over contractor warranties. Manufacturers have much more funds backing them up then contractors, and usually do not “disappear” or “not pick up their phones” after a few years.
That being said, Not all manufacturers are equal or issue equivalent warranties. M. Gottfried, Inc. uses manufacturer’s with products that have a long track record in the industry and have a warranty pool that is well funded. They also issue No Dollar Limit warranties for the duration of warranty period.
By using top tier manufacturers and providing their NDL warranties, we leave the owner with knowledge that their investment is done right and backed up by the best warranties in the industry.

Each reroofing project is unique
We are often asked, “do you have a square foot price for reroofing?”
We feel that each building is different. They have different uses, different rooftop equipment quantities and configurations, different perimeter conditions, different existing roof systems, etc. M. Gottfried, Inc. takes all these items into consideration when providing a reroofing estimate. Our goal is to provide the building owner with an expertly installed roofing system that fits the property’s needs and design and carries a full manufacturer’s warranty.
If you have retained a roof consultant, architect, or other roof design professional we can provide a quotation based on their design. We have worked for property owners that have design professionals provide drawings and specifications, and then have them on-site to watch and inspect our reroofing installation.

Reroofing involves sloped roofs too

Many factors come into play on some reroofing projects. Buildings often have sloped roofs that meet and tie into flat roofs. M. Gottfried, Inc. has many years installing and working on all types of roofs. Our knowledge and attention to detail is especially important when flat and sloped roofs meet. Our skilled technicians are able to perform the tricky and difficult flashing details that will marry your sloped and flat roof transitions. These important details keep your building watertight.
The architectural sheet metal work needed for the tie-in to sloped roofs, and the perimeter edge systems around your roof is just as important as the flat roofing aspect of your project. As a fully service reroofing contractor we can install prefabricated metal roof and edge systems from a wide range of manufacturers. In addition,
M. Gottfried, Inc. has a full architectural sheet metal shop, and can fabricate custom copper, aluminum, galvanized steel and stainless metal flashings and roofs.
