Who we are
Your Local Flat Roofing Contractor in Brooklyn
Vanta Flat Roofing was established in 2011 as a small family business in Brooklyn, and it is still family-owned and run today. It began with one crew fixing flat roofs on neighborhood brownstones and grew one referral at a time, as neighbors recommended us to neighbors.
Our roofers are our own crew, not subcontractors, and they know Brooklyn roofs: shared parapet walls between rowhouses, tight roof hatch access and old buildings with several roof layers. When you call, you talk to the family that runs the company, and the people who quote your job are the ones who stand behind it.
Family owned & operated
Run by the same family for 15 years. Our name is on every roof we repair.
Our own roofing crew
No subcontractors. Every repair is done by experienced roofers who work for Vanta.

Prevention
Flat Roof Maintenance That Prevents Costly Repairs
Most big flat roof repairs start as small problems: a clogged drain, a lifted seam or cracked flashing at the parapet. A yearly maintenance visit catches them early, while the fix is still quick and inexpensive.
- Maintenance visits once a year: drains and scuppers cleared, seams, flashing and parapet walls checked, and small problems resealed on the spot.
- Photo report after every visit, showing what needs repair now and what can wait.
- Roof coatings: a silicone or acrylic coating can add years to a worn roof that is still dry underneath.

What Our Customers Say
Flat roof leak repair
I contacted Vanta Flat Roofing about a persistent leak on our flat roof that became especially noticeable during heavy rain. The team inspected the affected area, explained what was causing the problem, and completed the repair professionally. Communication was clear throughout the process, and they made sure the area was left clean. The roof has been performing well since the repair, and I appreciated their straightforward approach.
Ponding water & drainage
Water was collecting on our flat roof after rainfall, and I was concerned that it could eventually cause leaks. The team checked the drainage and identified areas that needed attention. They explained the recommended work clearly and helped address the issue. I appreciated that they focused on the underlying problem rather than just offering a quick fix.
Membrane damage
Our flat roof had areas where the roofing membrane was showing signs of wear and damage. The team inspected the roof, explained which sections needed repair, and discussed the available options before starting. The work was completed professionally, and the team paid attention to the damaged areas and surrounding seams. Overall, the process was straightforward and well organized.
Service & communication
I appreciated how clearly the roofing team explained the inspection findings and the work required on our flat roof. They kept communication straightforward, answered my questions, and discussed the repair process before getting started. It made the project easier to understand and manage. Professional communication and a clear explanation of the work made a positive difference.
Seams & waterproofing
We needed attention on the seams and waterproofing details of our flat roof. The team inspected the affected sections and explained how these areas could allow water to enter if left unaddressed. They carried out the necessary work and reviewed the repaired areas afterward. I appreciated their attention to detail and the effort they put into explaining the repair.
Inspection & maintenance
We wanted to have our flat roof inspected before minor issues developed into more expensive repairs. The inspection helped identify areas that needed attention, and the team explained their recommendations in a clear and practical way.

FAQ
Flat Roof Repair FAQs
Straight answers to what Brooklyn owners ask us most.
How much does flat roof repair cost in Brooklyn?
Most flat roof repairs in Brooklyn cost $300 to $1,500. Leaks in several areas can reach $4,000 or more. The price depends on the cause, the roof system and access. You get a written price after a free inspection.
Can a leaking flat roof be patched?
Yes, when the damage is limited to one area. A lasting patch uses the same material as the roof and is welded or bonded in, not just covered with tar. If the roof leaks in several places, a patch only buys time.
Why is my ceiling stain far from the leak?
Water gets under the membrane, runs along the roof deck or insulation, and drips wherever it finds a gap. That’s why we trace the leak on the roof instead of patching above the stain.
Why is water pooling on my flat roof?
Flat roofs need a slight slope to drain. Water pools when drains or scuppers are blocked, the deck has sagged, or insulation has compressed. Clearing the drain fixes some cases; others need tapered insulation or a new drain.
What should I do if my flat roof is damaged in a storm?
Stay off the roof in rain, wind or ice and call (929) 219-1763. We answer 24/7, secure the roof the same day when conditions allow, and make the permanent repair once the roof is dry.
How long does a flat roof repair take?
Most repairs take a few hours to one day. Larger repairs may take two days, and work waits for dry weather when the material needs it.
Should I repair or replace my flat roof?
Repair if the damage is in one area and the roof is under about 15 years old. Replace if it leaks in several places or the insulation is wet. In that case a new roof is the better investment.
How long does a flat roof last?
A well-installed flat roof lasts about 15 to 30 years: modified bitumen around 15–25, EPDM and TPO around 20–30. Regular maintenance and clear drains get a roof to the top of that range.
What types of flat roofs do you repair?
We repair TPO, EPDM rubber, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up (tar and gravel) and low-slope metal roofs, plus coated roofs, always with material that matches the existing roof.
How often should a flat roof be inspected?
Once a year at minimum and after any major storm. Twice a year, in spring and fall, is best for roofs over 10 years old.
Is a roof coating worth it?
Yes, if the roof is still dry underneath and the membrane is attached. A coating seals small cracks and reflects heat. It won’t fix a roof with wet insulation; that roof needs replacing.
Do you offer free estimates, and where do you work?
Yes, inspections and written estimates are free. We work across all of Brooklyn, from Greenpoint to Sheepshead Bay.
