All Access Builders LLC is a Buffalo-based roofing contractor serving East Aurora homeowners throughout Erie County. We handle roof repair, roof replacement, new roof installation, and storm damage response, with in-house crews trained specifically for Western New York’s harsh weather conditions.
Family-owned since 2003 by founder Matt Kulhanek, we build roofing systems designed for Buffalo’s heavy snow, ice dams, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles. Every estimate comes in writing, every crew carries insurance coverage, and every project includes documented warranties. Our office and crews are based in Buffalo, and we travel throughout Erie County, including East Aurora, for repairs, replacements, and new installations.
All Access Builders operates from Buffalo, and we serve East Aurora homeowners throughout ZIP code 14052 and the surrounding Erie County area. We don't maintain a physical office in East Aurora, but our crews travel to the village and the Town of Aurora regularly for roof repairs, replacements, and new installations. Our established Buffalo operations give us the equipment, staffing, and supplier relationships to handle projects of any size, from a single shingle repair to a complete tear-off, without the overhead of a second location.
East Aurora sits in the heart of Western New York, which means local roofs face heavy lake-effect snow, ice dam formation along the eaves, wind-driven rain, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that loosen shingles over time. These conditions demand roofing materials and installation practices built for the climate, not a generic approach. We pair ice-and-water shield at vulnerable areas with balanced attic ventilation, proper flashing, and shingles rated for wind exposure. Moisture intrusion from a poorly sealed roof can cause expensive damage long before a leak becomes visible, so we treat every roofing system as a complete, connected assembly.
A roof repair addresses a specific problem rather than the entire roofing system. We fix roof leaks, missing shingles, damaged flashing around chimneys and vents, cracked pipe boots, and damaged ridge caps. Localized water intrusion often traces back to one failed component, and a targeted repair makes sense when the surrounding shingles and decking remain in good condition. We trace every leak to its actual source before recommending work, since patching the wrong spot wastes time and money. An honest inspection tells you whether a repair will hold or whether it’s time to consider something more comprehensive.
When shingles show widespread wear, storm damage covers multiple sections, or leaks keep recurring, a roof replacement and complete tear-off usually makes more sense than another repair. We remove the old roofing system down to the deck, inspect the decking for rot or damage, and replace any compromised sections before installing new materials. Material selection, updated water protection, and balanced attic ventilation all factor into a replacement built to last. Every completed project includes a written manufacturer and workmanship warranty covering your new roof.
New construction, home additions, and detached garages all need a roof installation built from the deck up rather than layered over an existing system. We account for roof slope, structural support, and how the new roofing will tie into your home’s existing roof lines. Proper integration at valleys, ridges, and transitions prevents water intrusion where two roof sections meet, so we plan these connections carefully before installation begins and confirm everything matches your home’s overall structure.
Wind damage, missing shingles, and active leaks after a storm need fast attention. Our emergency roof repair service addresses storm damage, arranges temporary protection where conditions allow, and documents the damage for insurance purposes. We assess the hazard first, confirm it’s safe to work, and then schedule permanent repairs once conditions allow our crew back on the roof. Response timing depends on weather, safety conditions, and crew availability, and we’ll walk you through what to expect before we arrive.
Metal roofing installation and replacement suits homeowners looking for a long-lasting, distinct roofing system that stands apart from standard asphalt shingles. Standing-seam and ribbed metal panels shed snow efficiently, which reduces the load your roof structure carries through a Western New York winter. We select panel profiles and fastening methods based on your roof’s slope and wind exposure, then walk through material and color options before you commit to a system that fits your home and budget.
Additions, garages, and qualifying light-commercial roofs often call for flat or low-slope roofing systems using EPDM or TPO membranes rather than traditional shingles. These systems depend on proper drainage, correctly flashed penetrations, and a membrane thickness matched to the roof’s actual slope and exposure. We assess waterproofing needs and existing drainage patterns before recommending a system, since not every low-slope roof faces the same moisture challenges.

Buffalo native Matt Kulhanek founded All Access Builders LLC in 2003, and over two decades of hands-on Western New York construction experience shapes how we approach every roofing project today. We’ve grown from a small local operation into a full-service roofing and general contracting company, but we’ve kept the same family-owned values that started the business.
Our roofing crews carry insurance coverage, and we handle local permit applications where applicable so homeowners don’t have to navigate that process alone. Because our crews work directly for us rather than through subcontractors, you get consistent quality control and a single point of contact overseeing your project from the first estimate through the final walkthrough.
Every proposal we provide spells out the scope of work, materials, and cost in writing before any work begins. We document manufacturer warranties alongside our own workmanship warranty, so you know exactly what’s covered if something needs attention after installation. Nothing about your project’s scope should be a surprise once the crew arrives.
Roofing rarely happens in isolation. Siding, gutters, fascia, decking, windows, and structural repairs often come up during a roof replacement, especially on older homes. As a full-service general contractor, we coordinate these related projects directly instead of handing you off to a separate company, which keeps your timeline simpler and your point of contact consistent from the roof down to the gutters.
Architectural asphalt shingles work well on most steep-slope roofs in East Aurora, offering a balance of appearance, durability, and cost. We install shingles from manufacturers including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO, and we’ll walk through style and warranty options so you understand what each brand offers before you choose. We don’t claim special manufacturer certification, just a track record of correct installation.
A roof depends on more than its top layer of shingles. Ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations stops water that backs up behind ice dams, while properly installed drip edge directs runoff away from the fascia. Synthetic underlayment adds a second barrier against moisture intrusion. Balanced ventilation, with soffit intake and ridge exhaust working together, keeps attic temperatures even, which reduces the uneven snowmelt that causes ice dams in the first place.
Asphalt shingles suit most residential roofs and offer the widest range of styles at a moderate cost. Metal roofing costs more upfront but sheds snow efficiently and lasts longer with less maintenance. Low-slope membranes fit additions, garages, and flat sections where shingles aren’t an option. We help you weigh roof geometry, appearance, and budget before recommending a system for your specific home.

Isolated leaks, a section of flashing that’s pulled away, a handful of missing shingles, or damage limited to one vent boot usually point to a repair rather than a full replacement. These problems often trace back to one failed component rather than a roof-wide issue, so fixing that specific area restores protection without the cost of a complete tear-off.
Recurring leaks in different spots, widespread shingle deterioration, compromised decking, or extensive storm damage across the roof usually mean a complete replacement makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. Once a roof has reached this point, patching individual problems becomes a cycle of expense without solving the underlying issue, and a full replacement resets the clock on your roofing system.
A professional roof inspection evaluates shingle condition, decking integrity, attic ventilation, flashing at every penetration, and how water drains off the roof. We document our findings in writing and explain what we see in plain terms, so you understand exactly what's driving our repair or replacement recommendation before you decide anything.
A qualified inspection, not guesswork, determines which category your roof actually falls into.
Not sure which category your roof falls into? We'll inspect it and tell you in writing.
Several factors shape what a roofing project costs, including total roof square footage, roof pitch, and how many layers need tearing off. Material choice, decking condition, access to the roof, waste disposal, and flashing complexity around chimneys and valleys all add or subtract from the final number. A steep roof with multiple valleys takes more time and material than a simple gable roof of the same size.
Our free estimate starts with an on-site assessment of your roof’s current condition, followed by a written recommendation covering recommended materials, project scope, and overall cost. We itemize the work where it’s helpful, set clear expectations for the project timeline, and review warranty information in detail so you know exactly what’s covered before you sign anything.
The lowest quote isn’t always the best value. Compare underlayment and ventilation specifications, flashing details, included insurance documentation, cleanup responsibilities, and warranty terms across each proposal. Two estimates for the same roof can represent very different scopes of work, and those differences show up years later in how the roof performs.
01.
We start by inspecting your roof’s current condition and discussing your specific concerns, whether that’s an active leak, visible wear, or a planned replacement. This on-site consultation gives us the information we need to recommend the right next step.
02.
You’ll receive a written proposal covering material selection, total project cost, and a proposed schedule for the work. We also handle local permit review where required, confirming what’s needed for your specific property before scheduling crews or ordering materials.
03.
Our crew protects landscaping and surfaces before tear-off begins, then removes old roofing and inspects the decking underneath for damage. We repair any compromised decking, install underlayment and flashing, and complete the new roof covering according to manufacturer specifications.
04.
We complete a final walkthrough, remove all debris, and run a magnetic sweep to catch stray nails around your property. Before we leave, we review your manufacturer and workmanship warranty documentation and address any remaining punch-list items.

Permit requirements for roofing work depend on the scope of the project and the property’s specific jurisdiction. The Village of East Aurora Building Department handles applications for properties within village limits, and we confirm what’s required for your address before starting any work. Note that the Village of East Aurora is a separate municipality from the Village of Aurora.
Properties outside the village fall under the Town of Aurora, where Building and Code Enforcement handles plan reviews and inspections from the Aurora Municipal Center on Oakwood Avenue. Because village and town requirements differ, we verify the correct authority for your property before applying for any permit, so your project meets the applicable zoning and building rules from the start.
We complete roofing work according to applicable New York State building codes and manufacturer installation instructions, and we schedule required inspections as part of every permitted project. Written documentation, including your proposal, permit records, and warranty paperwork, gives you a complete paper trail for your roof long after our crew leaves the property.
We document our roofing projects across Buffalo and the Southtowns with photos and written scopes of work. Here are three recent examples from our in-house crews.
Roof Replacement
The problem - Curling 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
Leaks kept turning up in different rooms, and the shingles were worn across every slope. We stripped the roof to the deck, replaced the soft sheathing, and ran ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys before installing architectural shingles and new flashing. A magnetic nail sweep finished the job.
Older Home Roof Repair
The problem - Leaking porch roof, rotted trim, and worn flashing at the house wall
Our scope - Porch roof rebuild, new decking and flashing, cedar trim and gable restoration
Older homes like the ones near East Aurora’s village center often carry porch roofs that have been patched for decades. On this Victorian, we opened the porch roof, replaced the deteriorated decking, and re-flashed the joint where it meets the house. New cedar trim and a restored gable kept the home’s original character.
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. We decked the new roof, ran ice-and-water shield through the valleys where it meets the original roofline, and set step flashing along every wall before installing shingles matched to the house, so the addition reads as part of the home.

Beyond East Aurora, we serve homeowners across Erie County. If your home falls somewhere in this broader market, reach out to check appointment availability for a roofing estimate.
The cost of a new roof depends on your home’s size, roof pitch, material choice, and the condition of the decking underneath. Because these factors vary so much from one house to the next, we provide a written estimate specific to your roof rather than a general price range.
An on-site inspection is the most reliable way to tell. Isolated leaks or a few missing shingles often point to a repair, while widespread wear, recurring leaks, or compromised decking usually mean replacement makes more sense. We provide a written recommendation after every inspection.
Yes, we respond to active leaks and storm damage with emergency roof repair service, including temporary protection where conditions allow. Response timing depends on weather, safety conditions, and crew availability at the time you call, so we’ll always tell you what to expect upfront.
Architectural asphalt shingles and standing-seam metal roofing both perform well through East Aurora winters when paired with proper ice-and-water shield and balanced attic ventilation. The right choice depends on your roof’s slope, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in your home.
It depends on your property’s scope of work and jurisdiction. The Village of East Aurora Building Department or the Town of Aurora’s Building and Code Enforcement office may require a permit, and we confirm the correct requirement for your address before starting any project.
Most single-family roof replacements take between one and three days from tear-off to final cleanup. Larger roofs, damaged decking discovered during tear-off, or weather delays can extend that timeline beyond the initial estimate.
