All Access Builders LLC brings 22 years of Buffalo-based roofing experience to homeowners and qualifying commercial properties throughout Depew and Erie County. We handle roof repair, full replacement, and new roof installation with in-house crews trained to handle Western New York’s snow, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles. Every project starts with a written estimate, so you know the scope and cost before any work begins.
We’ve built our reputation on being family-owned since 2003, and keeping our crews in-house rather than handing your roof to subcontractors. We’re licensed and insured for the work we perform, and we back every project with written warranties covering both materials and workmanship.
Our crews handle the full range of residential roofing work, from a single repair to a complete system replacement. You can review our full lineup of roofing services to see how we approach every project before we ever step onto your roof.
Full roof replacement makes sense when shingles show widespread wear, the decking underneath has taken on damage, or recurring leaks point to a system nearing the end of its service life. We remove the old roof down to the deck, inspect what’s underneath, and install new architectural shingles built to last.
Water intrusion doesn’t always mean you need a new roof. Missing or damaged shingles, cracked chimney flashing, or a failed pipe boot often cause isolated leaks that a targeted repair can fix. We trace every leak to its actual source with a diagnostic assessment before recommending a repair or a replacement.
New construction and qualifying additions need a roofing system built correctly from the deck up. We account for your roof’s pitch, select architectural asphalt shingles suited to the structure, and install proper underlayment, drip edges, and ventilation according to manufacturer specifications.
Standing seam and ribbed metal roofing systems offer durability and a distinct appearance for steep-slope roofs. For garages, additions, and qualifying commercial roofs with a low slope, we install TPO and EPDM membrane systems matched to the roof’s drainage and penetrations.
Wind damage, missing shingles, and active leaks after a storm need prompt attention. Call us, and we’ll assess the hazard, arrange temporary weather protection where available, and schedule the permanent repair. Response timing always depends on weather conditions, safety, and crew availability.

Buffalo native Matt Kulhanek founded All Access Builders LLC in 2003. His 22 years of hands-on construction experience across Western New York shapes how our crews assess and build every roof, including the ones we install for homeowners in Depew.
Our roofing crews work directly for us, never through subcontractors. That means consistent on-site oversight, a single point of contact for your project, and clear accountability from estimate to final walkthrough. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation coverage, and we document manufacturer and workmanship warranties in writing before work begins.
Sometimes a roof problem connects to something bigger. Our general contracting capabilities cover decking repair, structural carpentry, gutters, fascia, and siding, so we can address the full picture rather than just the shingles on top.
Depew sits close enough to Lake Erie to feel the same lake-effect snow, wind, and freeze-thaw stress that shapes roofing decisions across Western New York.
Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic warms the roof deck unevenly, melting snow that refreezes at the colder eaves. We address this risk with properly installed ice-and-water membranes at vulnerable eave areas, balanced intake and exhaust ventilation, and an honest look at your attic’s insulation. No single product eliminates ice dams on its own, which is why we evaluate the roof as a complete system.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles loosen shingle adhesion over time and can cause uplift at roof edges. We pay close attention to step flashing and roof-to-wall transitions during every inspection, since these areas take the brunt of temperature swings and wind exposure.
A roof is only as strong as its weakest layer. Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation controls attic condensation, while synthetic underlayment adds a second line of defense against wind-driven rain. We coordinate ventilation and insulation assessments together, because treating them separately leaves gaps in protection. Each component plays a specific role in how your roof performs through a full Western New York winter, which is why we explain the purpose behind every material we recommend rather than simply listing parts on an invoice.

The right answer depends on what’s actually happening on your roof, not just its age.
An isolated leak, a handful of missing shingles, or localized flashing damage around a chimney or vent often point to a repair rather than a full replacement, especially when the decking and surrounding materials remain sound.
Widespread granule loss, curling shingles, recurring leaks in multiple locations, soft or spongy decking, and failed sections across the roof usually signal that the system has reached the end of its useful life. We weigh these signs against your roof’s age and repair history before making a recommendation.
Our recommendations always follow an actual roof assessment, not a guess based on how old your roof happens to be. Request a free inspection and we’ll give you a straight answer.
We select materials based on your roof’s slope, exposure, and budget rather than defaulting to one package for every home.
Architectural shingles work well on most residential steep-slope roofs in the Depew area. We install products from GAF, CertainTeed, and IKO, and we'll walk you through style options, wind ratings, and warranty eligibility before you commit to a product line. The right shingle balances appearance with real climate performance.
Standing-seam metal panels suit steep-slope roofs where long-term durability matters most, while EPDM and TPO membranes handle low-slope sections like garages and additions. Beneath any surface material, your roof depends on quality decking, starter strips, valley protection, ice-and-water shield, flashing, and ridge caps working together as one system.
Roof square footage, pitch, and complexity all factor into your cost, along with material selection, the number of existing roofing layers, underlayment needs, and any decking damage discovered during tear-off. Access to the roof, labor, and debris removal round out the full picture.
Your written estimate includes our assessment findings, recommended scope of work, selected materials, tear-off and disposal, flashing and ventilation details, applicable permits, an estimated timeline, and written warranty terms. Nothing gets left to interpretation.

We follow the same disciplined process on every roof, whether it’s a repair or a full replacement.
01.
We review your roof’s current condition, check for leaks and decking damage, examine roof penetrations, and assess ventilation and moisture issues before recommending next steps.
02.
You’ll receive a transparent, written estimate covering the recommended roofing system, project schedule, and material selection, while we confirm any applicable local permitting obligations on your behalf.
03.
Our crew protects your property, removes the old roofing system, inspects the deck underneath, and installs underlayment, flashing, and new roof coverings according to manufacturer specifications.
04.
We remove all debris, run a magnetic nail sweep where appropriate, walk the finished roof with you, and review your written warranty documentation before we consider the job complete.
Permit rules vary by jurisdiction, and we don’t assume Buffalo city requirements automatically apply to Depew addresses.
Whether your project falls under the Village of Depew’s Building Inspection Department or another jurisdiction depends on your specific address and the scope of work involved. We check applicable requirements for your property rather than applying a one-size-fits-all permit assumption.
We carry verified insurance coverage, follow manufacturer installation instructions, and manage permit applications and required inspections with the appropriate Erie County municipality, so your project meets current building standards from start to finish.
One recent Erie County job shows how our in-house crews take a roof from bare framing to finished shingles. These photos follow a second-story addition from start to finish.
New Roof Installation
The problem - A growing family needed more living space over the attached garage
Our scope - Wall and roof framing, sheathing, house wrap, roof deck ready for shingles
This addition went up over an existing two-car garage. Our crew framed the new walls and roof, sheathed the whole structure, and wrapped it in house wrap to keep weather out while work continued. Because the new roof had to meet the existing one, we planned the tie-in, valleys, and flashing before the first rafter went up.
Roof Tie-In and Installation
The problem - New addition roof had to blend with the existing roofline
Our scope - Underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the valleys, flashing, shingles matched to the house

Look for an active license, verified insurance, documented local work, itemized written estimates, customer reviews, and clear material and workmanship warranties. All Access Builders provides all of these as standard practice on every project.
Cost depends on your roof’s size, pitch, material choice, and condition of the decking underneath. An on-site assessment produces an accurate, itemized estimate rather than a generic ballpark figure.
Permit requirements depend on your specific address, the scope of the project, and the governing jurisdiction. We help confirm what applies to your property and manage the application process with the appropriate municipality.
Timelines vary based on roof size, complexity, weather conditions, and whether decking repairs come up once tear-off begins. We’ll walk you through a realistic schedule as part of your written proposal.
Yes. We diagnose the cause of the damage, protect against further water intrusion, and recommend the appropriate repair based on what we find during inspection, with scheduling subject to availability.
Architectural asphalt shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and IKO perform well on most steep-slope roofs, while metal and low-slope membrane systems suit specific roof types. The details of your roof assembly, including ventilation and underlayment, matter as much as the surface material.
Yes. Buffalo is our headquarters, and Depew falls within our regular service area. Request an on-site inspection or estimate and we’ll schedule a visit to assess your roof directly.
