William and Hugh roofing came 1st for a free estimate, then within about 2 days, they were fixing my house roof and my garage roof. They put a silver heat deflecting finish over. ...it looked beautiful. Very well done. Then 2 top it off I was not home, he actually came 2 my job so that I could pay him, which I thought was super convenient because I'm a nurse and was very difficult 4 me 2 leave. I would hire again and definitely recommend. JOB VERY WELL DONE..AND QUITE PERSONABLE ??

My roof only leaked when it snowed. I got a roofer to come out and he patched it, but the roof started leaking after it rained too. I started calling companies to get quotes on a new roof. After getting three quotes, I went with Hugh because he took the time to explain things in detail and wasn't dismissive (I'm a woman and have dealt with some contractors who act that way). He didn't try to scare or pressure me into a more expensive option. He was able to schedule me in couple of days later and the roof was redone. It was perfect timing because it rained a lot the next day and days after that. It's been two months and I've had no leaks since then.

It went very well and Hugh took time to show what was done in detail and professionalism. Hugh was very punctual, professional, personable, patient and used quality products to repair and install new roof. I will refer and use them again.

Results are excellent as there are no more leaks in upstairs bedrooms. Neighbors were quite impressed and as a result they also used William & Hugh Roofers.

I originally contacted Hugh to do what I thought would be minor maintenance on the roof, but he found a few spots that were leaky, even though the damage wasn't yet apparent inside the house. He presented the options for fixing and had a good warranty. His crew was fast and professional and finished the work the next day. We've had a few big rainstorms since the new roof was installed, and so far, so good! No one likes finding out that they need a new roof when they think they're just due for maintenance, but Hugh made the experience as smooth and reasonable as could be hoped. I would hire again if I had other roofing needs.

Hugh is very responsive, honest and professional. Our roof had begun leaking, and we were concerned about the extent of the damage. He was able to inspect it within 48 hours and install the new roof within a week. He also installed a new hatch that gives us access to the roof from the interior of the house. (The original hatch had been closed off years before.) Hugh presented our options clearly and thoroughly, including costs and benefits of each. He is sensitive to budget and doesn't push the expensive option if you don't need it. After working with Hugh, I understand why this family business has been around so long.

Hugh was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. He explained what repairs need to be done in detailed diagrams. His price and warranty were extremely reasonable. Added a new layer of “firestone" rubber on whole flat roof and built a slope for water drainage. A slope will prevent water from accumulating on rooftop, mitigating water damage to roofing materials: Applied new "Timberline" shingles on front roof; Installed a new roofing gutter at back of roof. Hugh and his teams did a great job by handling all the needed roofing tasks very efficiently. The workmanship was impeccable. Came early finished by the end of the day with high quality installation and cleanup. It’s been a few weeks and we have had a lot of heavy rainfalls with NO standing water on roof. I'd highly recommend Hugh for any flat roofing & gutter projects.

Got a response to my email on the same day. Got an estimate the next and work completed the next day. Fastest response time from my initial inquiry to work being completed. Crew was efficient did the entire job in one day. Very satisfied with the quality of the work. Left my premises in excellent order and condition after work finished. Prompt, dependable, reliable, courteous. Very impressed with the work habits of the crew. Thorough and did an excellent job.

Hugh did a great job, was punctual and answered all my questions. My mom's flat roof has been leaking on and off for some time now, but this year it was extraordinarily bad. Hugh gave me two prices depending on what I wanted to do, 1 was to completely tear down my old flat roof and drop on a new layer or just throw a layer on top. He was the 3rd person I Requested a quote from and they were all within the same range. Hugh also helped me with repairing my gutters and the roofing gutter in the back which was causing me extensive problems on the past. He always picked up my calls, quick to respond and answer questions, he was on time to all meetings and his guys were punctual and clean. I would definitely hire Hugh and his crew again.

Had a flat roof leak, where a re-application of asphalt membrane was advised to stop the leak. Price quote was one of the more expensive one, but also used better material (white coated asphalt as opposed to usual black asphalt). The work was done quickly, seemingly well, with a large crew. However, the leak persisted (per the tenant, it was "worse", though that may be some hyperbole), about 3 - 4 calls to the company to uphold their guarantee lead to no on-site visits, and then a suggestion that the roof need to be completely replaced without an actual visit to inspect the roof. Frustrating, especially since they're so highly reviewed and talked such a good game.

I took the angie deal yesterday with hugh and within about 1 hour he called me. We set up appointment for the next day at 8:30. He got there 1 /2 hour early. He gave me 3 options for my roof and was very even handed with how he presented them, not pressuring me to get the most expensive one. Did the job in a few hours, took before and after pictures and provided a warranty. I waited to write the review to make sure the repair was good. there have been a few heavy rains and i did not have any leaks. Very happy with his work.

The two brothers who are the namesake of the company, William and Hugh, were very helpful during the entire process and walked us through every step! They were clear about what work they were doing, and always checked with us before going through with any major decisions. While working, their crew members were also extremely helpful. They were polite and worked hard throughout the entire day to finish our roof in a timely manner. I highly recommend these fine gentlemen! You won't find anyone more kind, more knowledgeable, or more professional! Thank you, William and Hugh!

Our upstairs bedroom started exhibiting one water stain where the ceiling meets the wall. This was our initial head's up our 20+ year old flat roof was on the cusp of repairs or replacment and required at minimum a inspection for possible repairs. When a second stain appeared on our second bedroom we knew it would be best to put serious thought into getting our roof repaired. Downside it was in the middle of Winter hence foolhardy to consider as projects such as this are better undertaken when the weather would be consistently better. Researched and started reading reviews both on Yelp, BBB, RateaBiz, and AngiesList paying particular attention to all the rated roofers in our area. Called a few and had one particular roofer (with average reviews and not even listed on AngiesList which should have been a tipoff to me!) schedule a visit and inspection. Scheduled date came then went and I was upset when this particular roofer failed to show. Many hours after the agreed upon time and date he eventually called making really absurd excuses so I politely told him to forget about coming or rescheduling. Went back to researching this time using only the highest ratedroofers reviewed on AngiesList. Filled out the online request for into and I was contacted by 2 AngiesList roofers ...amazing and quick responses one locally (Sunnyside Queens) and other in Brooklyn. First roofer was located in Brooklyn while William& Hugh Roofing was located just down the boulevard in Sunnyside. Spoke with Hugh (Sr) from William & Hugh Roofing requesting a inspection and bid. Hugh it appears had projects pending but promised he would call the following week after he freed up to perform our inspection. As promised he did call, inspected our roof, queried us on other issues and what we desired and needed. Pictures were taken by Hugh identifying immediate emergency items, other abnormalities requiring attention, and finally minor issues which he could address and resolve. Before I continue let me state William and Hugh Roofing is definitely NOT the cheapest roofer out there as I am sure if you shop around you can get prices a bit less expensive. Most roofers are 2-person operations which means a project might take days or more. Hugh and I talked at length and I decided to give them a try .... worse case I would post a less than flattering review followed by complaints to the BBB and YELP. If you research reviews on William and Hugh Roofing, there simply are no negative or unflattering reviews currently about these guys. Work would encompass installation of a new torched flat roof, teardown of all our weather worn slate shingles and replaced with a 30+ year warranteed Asphalt shingle, and replacement of a few section of leaders and gutters. Day before work was started Hugh personally called asking if tomorrow, a Saturday would be a convenient time to start work. Bright and early Saturday Hugh Sr and Hugh Jr along with a crew of 4 arrive at the designated time and work began. Whole job took 8+ hours , pictures taken by me to insure "no shortcuts or corners" were cut. Work areas were policed up after work was completed leaving minor cleaning of walkways, driveways, and front of home. Workcrew was extremely professional, polite, and knew what they were doing. If you are in the market for roofing work consider William&Hugh Roofing .... you can always get it done cheaper but for me who performed my own roofing repairs when I was 35+ years younger I'd rather pay a little more up front knowing these roofers complete repairs in a reasonable amount of time, warranty their work, and will be around. Update: It's been almost 2 weeks since work was completed and we have gone through two 2018 Nor'easter's and we currently have no leaks whatsoever. Busy shopping around for a quart of Kilz and a few gallons of ceiling paint for the next project. Shame I cannot post pictures however you can take it from me, William & Hugh Roofers are competent and reputable to do business with.

I STARTED DOING MY ROOF A WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING OF 2017. AFTER BEING LEFT HIGH AND DRY FROM MY OTHER ROOFING CONTRACTOR (INTERSTATE ROOFING out of new jersey, OWNER: SANTINO COSTELLO) AND LEAVING MY ROOF INCOMPLETE AND OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS. I SPOKE TO HUGH FROM WILLIAM AND HUGH ROOFING AND EXPLAINED WHAT MY SITUATION WAS. HUGH AGREED TO HELP ME OUT. SO, THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING 2017 HUGH AND HIS CREW CAME OVER BIRHGT AND EARLY THE NEXT MORNING AND DID EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO. THEY RIPPED OFF THE REMAINING ROOF THAT WAS LEFT UNDONE FROM THE PREVIOUS CONTRACTOR, INSTALLED 3/4 INCH PLYWOOD THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE ROOF. THEN INSTALLED THE TORUCH DOWN FIRESTONE RUBBER ROOF. THEY ARE NOT MASTER CARPENTERS, BY ALL MEANS. BUY, THEY GOT THE JOB DONE WITHIN 2 DAYS. THE PRICE WAS A LITTLE HIGH. BUT, I WAS IN DESPERATE NEED. I WOULD DEFIANTLY RECOMMEND TO ALL NEEDING A ROOFER.

Excellent! Reached out to many roofers who were not willing to do repairs, just replace entire roofs. Shocking how one company wanted to give an estimate to replace the entire roof just by looking on google maps! These gentlemen were from the beginning willing to come see the roof and repair without replacing completely. Came, examined entire roof, saw where the problem was right away from when roof was originally installed and pointed out that there were still many years for the remaining roof. Honest individuals from a family run business whom I would highly recommend to anyone.

I called for a roof inspection and also because 3 year-old shingles were falling and 3 year-old garage roof was leaking. Hugh came within hours. To my relief. the garage and shingles were minor fixes. He did discover that our house roof was bubbling and needed to be repaired and a new roof installed on top. He then recommended the soffits be replaced and the chimney wrapped. The eaves were coated and painted. He also cleaned out the gutters. The came early the next day and the work was completed the same day. Everyone was professional and pleasant.
