We’re All Access Builders LLC, a Buffalo-based roofing contractor bringing roof repairs, roof replacement, and new roof installation to homeowners throughout Clarence, NY. Our crews have worked across Erie County since 2003, building roofing systems designed to hold up against Western New York’s heavy snow, ice, and wind. We treat every Clarence roof as a complete system, not just a layer of shingles, because that’s what actually keeps water out during a tough winter.
We’re family-owned, we staff our own in-house crews, and we carry insurance on every job we take on. Every estimate comes in writing, and every project includes a documented workmanship warranty alongside manufacturer coverage, so you know exactly what you’re getting before work begins.
Homeowners searching for a roofer in Clarence often assume they need someone headquartered in town. We’d argue our Buffalo base is an advantage, not a drawback. We’ve served Erie County, Clarence included, for over two decades, which means our crews already understand how local weather patterns, soil conditions, and tree cover affect roofs in this part of the county.
Roofing work splits into two broad categories, and knowing the difference matters. Repairing isolated damage means fixing a specific problem area, like a cracked pipe boot or loose flashing. Installing an entire roofing system means replacing everything from decking to ridge cap. We assess shingles, flashing, decking, underlayment, and ventilation before recommending either path.
Because roofing projects sometimes reveal additional exterior or structural concerns, our general contracting background gives us an edge. If a tear-off uncovers rotted fascia or a soffit that needs attention, we can address it without bringing in a second contractor.
Our roofing services cover the full range of what a Clarence home might need, from a single repair to a complete system replacement. Here’s a closer look at each service we offer.
A leaking roof doesn’t always mean you need a full replacement. Damaged shingles, loose flashing, a worn pipe boot, or chimney flashing that’s pulled away from the deck can all cause localized water infiltration. When the rest of the roofing system is sound, a focused repair solves the problem without the cost of tearing off the whole roof.
Widespread shingle wear, recurring leaks in multiple spots, or decking that’s started to deteriorate point toward a full roof replacement. We tear off the old roofing system down to the deck, inspect what’s underneath, and install new materials matched to your home and budget. A complete tear-off also gives us a chance to correct ventilation or flashing issues that a repair alone wouldn’t catch.
Building a home addition or putting a roof on new construction calls for an installation built from the deck up. We prepare the decking, add waterproofing layers at eaves and valleys, and select materials suited to your roof’s pitch. Starter shingles, drip edge, and ridge ventilation all go in according to manufacturer specifications, so the new roof performs the way it’s supposed to from day one.
High winds off Lake Erie, fallen branches, and sudden water intrusion don’t wait for business hours. Call us when you spot missing shingles or active leaking after a storm, and we’ll assess the hazard and arrange temporary weatherproofing where it’s available. We’ll also document the damage, which helps if you’re filing an insurance claim. Response timing depends on weather conditions, crew availability, and site safety, so we can’t promise a guaranteed arrival window, but we treat storm calls as a priority.
Standing-seam metal roofing suits steep-slope homes looking for long-term durability, while low-slope sections like additions and garages typically call for a membrane system such as TPO or EPDM. Each material comes with its own flashing and drainage needs, and membrane seams require careful installation to prevent water pooling. We match the system to your roof’s actual geometry rather than suggesting one material fits every home.
A roof inspection can catch small problems before they become expensive ones. We investigate suspected leaks, check attic ventilation, evaluate aging roofs, and recommend preventive repairs after storms. We’ll confirm whether your specific inspection request falls under a standalone fee or ties into an estimate before we schedule the visit.

Clarence sits close enough to Lake Erie to feel the effects of lake-effect snow, sustained wind, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. We build and repair roofs with these conditions in mind, evaluating the whole system rather than just the shingles on top.
Heat escaping into the attic warms the roof deck unevenly, melting snow that refreezes at the colder eaves and forms an ice dam. Ice-and-water barrier at eaves and valleys, properly installed flashing, and balanced attic air sealing and ventilation all reduce this risk. No single product eliminates ice dams by itself, which is why we check the whole system during an inspection.
Ridge vents paired with soffit intake keep air moving through the attic, carrying heat and moisture out before they cause problems. Poor attic airflow leads to condensation, which can rot decking and shorten the life of insulation. We check ventilation balance on every roof assessment we perform.
Architectural asphalt shingles handle most steep-slope Clarence roofs well, and standing-seam metal roofing offers an alternative for homeowners wanting extra durability. Synthetic underlayment and membrane systems add another layer of protection against the region’s moisture exposure. We don’t make unsupported lifetime claims about any single product, because a roof’s real performance depends on how all its components work together.
Seeing ice dams or wind damage this winter? Get your roof checked before the next storm.
Deciding between a repair and a full replacement comes down to how widespread the damage actually is.
An isolated leak, limited shingle damage confined to one area, or flashing that can be resealed or replaced usually mean the rest of your roofing system is still serviceable. If the decking underneath is sound, a repair solves the problem without unnecessary cost.
Widespread granule loss, shingles that have curled or cracked across large sections, multiple active leak points, and rotted decking all point toward replacement. Repeated repairs on the same roof are another signal worth paying attention to. Roof age alone doesn’t tell the full story, so we don’t rely on it as the deciding factor.
Our inspection includes photos of problem areas, an honest read on material condition, and an estimate of how much useful life the roof has left. You'll get a written recommendation, so you're deciding with real information instead of guesswork.
Buffalo native Matt Kulhanek founded All Access Builders LLC in 2003. Over two decades of hands-on experience across Western New York construction shapes how we handle every roofing project, with a focus on continuity, local knowledge, and being accountable to the customers we work for.
We carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, and we’re licensed for roofing and general contracting work. Our crews work for us directly, not through subcontractors, which means one project manager oversees your job from the first estimate to the final walkthrough, with a written scope guiding the work throughout.
Every estimate spells out materials, labor scope, and cleanup in writing before we schedule anything. Manufacturer warranties cover materials, and our workmanship warranty covers the installation itself, with both sets of documentation reviewed with you before the project begins.
We’re also BBB accredited, and we welcome you to check our verified Google reviews, meet the team behind the company, and ask for proof of insurance at any point in the process.
01.
We start with an on-site assessment, measuring the roof and checking its current condition. From there, we prepare a written proposal outlining project scope and recommended scope of work.
02.
We’ll walk through roofing material options together and lock in a schedule. We also protect the site ahead of time and arrange any permits the project requires.
03.
When a tear-off is needed, we remove the old roofing and review the deck underneath before installing waterproofing, flashing, and new materials. We keep the property protected and manage debris throughout the job.
04.
Once installation wraps up, we run a full cleanup, including a magnetic nail sweep, and complete a final walkthrough. We review your workmanship and manufacturer warranty documents and answer any remaining questions before we call the job done.
Clarence has its own permit rules separate from the City of Buffalo, and we follow the Town’s actual requirements rather than assuming one city’s process applies everywhere.
The Town of Clarence Building Department lists reroofing among the work that typically requires a permit, though applicability depends on your project’s actual scope. We check current requirements with the Town’s Building Department before starting any project, since rules can be updated.
We can help with permit applications and required inspections on your Clarence project. That said, the Town of Clarence identifies the homeowner as ultimately responsible for ensuring a required permit gets obtained, even when a contractor files the application, so we keep you informed every step of the way.
Roofing costs vary enough from home to home that we won’t publish a generic price range, we’ll give you an actual number based on your roof.
Roof size, pitch, and access all factor into labor time. Beyond that, the number of layers being torn off, the condition of the decking, your selected materials, flashing complexity, ventilation upgrades, and disposal and permit fees all shape the final number.
Our written estimates spell out full project scope, materials, labor, and waste removal. If an inspection turns up hidden decking damage once the tear-off begins, we’ll walk you through any adjustment before proceeding.

Our crews have completed roof replacements, repairs, and new installations across Buffalo and Erie County communities similar to Clarence, from full tear-offs on aging shingle roofs to metal roofing on properties with steeper pitches. Each project gets the same written scope and in-house crew oversight, regardless of size.
Roof Replacement
The problem - Curled shingles, granule loss, and leaks in more than one room
Our scope - Tear-off to the deck, decking repair, ice-and-water shield, new shingles and flashing
The shingles on this home had worn out across every slope. We stripped the roof to the deck, replaced the soft sheathing, and laid ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys before installing new architectural shingles and flashing. A full magnetic nail sweep closed out the job.
Metal Roofing
The problem - Steep, exposed slopes losing shingles to wind and snow load
Our scope - Metal panel system, fastening plan for wind, sealed ridge and hip caps
The steep slopes on this property kept shedding shingles in high wind. We planned a metal roofing system around that exposure, fastening each panel for uplift and sealing every ridge and hip cap tight. The finished roof sheds snow quickly and stands up to the gusts that kept damaging the old one.
New Roof Installation
The problem - A new addition needed a roof that matched the original home
Our scope - Decking, ice-and-water shield at valleys, step flashing, matching shingles
This family added a second story over their garage. Our crew decked the new roof, ran ice-and-water shield through the valleys where it meets the original roofline, set step flashing along every wall, and installed shingles matched to the house so the addition reads as part of the home.

Homeowners across our service area have shared feedback on everything from how our crews communicate during a project to how clean the site looks once the job wraps up. We’d rather let their own words speak for our roofing work than tell you ourselves.
Roofing stays our core focus, but plenty of Clarence homeowners need more than a new roof. Our general contracting background lets us coordinate additional exterior work without bringing in a separate crew.
Roof edges, drainage, and moisture management all connect, which is why siding, seamless gutters, and vented soffit and fascia often come up during a roofing project. Addressing these exterior components together, rather than hiring separate contractors, tends to simplify scheduling and keep water management consistent across the whole house.
When a roofing project uncovers structural concerns, or when a homeowner is planning an addition, our general contracting license lets us manage the roof transitions, windows, and related renovation work alongside the roofing itself. We bring this up as an added capability, not the main reason to call us.
Planning roofing alongside siding, gutters, or an addition? One contractor can handle it all.
