We’re All Access Builders LLC, a Buffalo-based roofing contractor serving Hamburg, NY and the rest of Erie County. Our crews handle roof repair, roof replacement, new roof installation, and storm damage restoration for homeowners who want a roof built to handle what Lake Erie throws at it. We show up, inspect your roof honestly, and give you a written plan before any work begins.
Hamburg homeowners need a roofing contractor who understands Western New York weather, not just a crew with a truck and a ladder. We’ve built that understanding over two decades of work across the region, and we bring it to every Hamburg property we inspect.
We've operated out of Buffalo since 2003, working roofs throughout Erie County the entire time. That history gives us a practical read on how local weather affects shingles, flashing, and decking. We don't run a Hamburg storefront, but we travel to your property for every inspection, estimate, and installation, treating your roof with the same attention we give our Buffalo projects.
Hamburg sits close enough to Lake Erie that lake-effect snow piles up fast and heavy. That snow sits on your roof, melts unevenly, and refreezes at the eaves, which is exactly how ice dams form. Freeze-thaw cycles loosen shingle adhesion over a season, and flashing around chimneys and vents deteriorates faster near the lake than it does further inland. Add wind-driven rain off the water, and you get a roof that works harder than most. We design every repair and installation around these exact conditions, not a generic weather assumption.
Whether you need a targeted repair or a complete roofing project, we start with an on-site assessment. That inspection tells us what your roof actually needs, and we build our recommendation around it instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all package.
Missing shingles, a flashing leak near a chimney, or a damaged pipe boot often cause isolated leaks that don’t require full replacement. We trace water intrusion to its real source, then fix that specific spot rather than guessing at the problem.
When your roof has widespread wear or recurring leaks, we remove the old roofing system down to the deck, repair any damaged sections, and install new shingles, underlayment, and flashing. Every replacement comes with workmanship warranties documented in writing.
New construction and additions need a roofing system built from the deck up. We install starter strips, drip edges, synthetic underlayment, and proper ventilation according to manufacturer specifications, matched to your structure’s design.
Active leaks and wind-damaged shingles after a storm need fast attention. Call us, and we’ll inspect the damage, arrange temporary protection where available, and schedule the permanent repair based on weather and crew capacity.
Standing-seam metal roofing offers strong wind resistance and durable snow management for homes that want a distinct look alongside long-term performance. We confirm whether metal roofing fits your roof’s slope and design during the estimate.
Garages, additions, and other low-slope structures need membrane systems like EPDM or TPO matched to drainage needs and roof penetrations. We assess waterproofing requirements before recommending a specific system.
Not sure whether your roof needs repair or replacement?
Buffalo native Matt Kulhanek founded All Access Builders LLC in 2003. Over 20 years of hands-on roofing and construction experience in Western New York shapes every estimate and installation we complete today.
We carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, and we hold the licensing required to perform roofing work in our service area. We confirm jurisdiction-specific requirements and secure proper permits before any project starts.
Our roofing crews work directly for us, not as subcontractors. That setup gives you consistent quality control, one project manager overseeing your job, and direct communication from the first estimate through the final walkthrough.
Every proposal spells out the project scope, material selection, labor, and cleanup in writing. Manufacturer warranties and our workmanship warranty are documented and reviewed with you before we break ground, so you always know what’s covered.
Architectural shingles perform well on most steep-slope roofs in our region, standing up to wind and snow load better than older three-tab designs. We discuss options from manufacturers like GAF, CertainTeed, and IKO during your estimate, confirming current availability and warranty terms for your specific project.
Standing-seam metal roofing suits steep-slope homes that want long-term durability, while EPDM and TPO membranes handle low-slope sections like additions and garages. We match the material to your roof’s actual structure rather than defaulting to one system.
Ice-and-water membrane at eaves and valleys, properly installed drip edges, and synthetic underlayment all reduce water intrusion risk. Balanced ridge and soffit ventilation keeps your attic temperature even, which limits the uneven snowmelt that causes ice dams. Flashing around chimneys and penetrations gets inspected and replaced as needed on every project.
Isolated missing shingles, a single flashing failure, a water stain on one ceiling, or a damaged pipe boot usually point toward a targeted repair rather than a full tear-off.
Widespread shingle deterioration, repeated leaks in different spots, extensive decking damage, or a roof nearing the end of its expected lifespan often make replacement the more cost-effective choice over time.
Our roof inspection process documents the condition of your shingles, flashing, and decking, then translates those findings into a clear repair or replacement recommendation with a written estimate attached.
Find Out What Your Hamburg Roof Actually Needs.
Heavy lake-effect snow accumulates fast in Hamburg, and heat escaping from a poorly insulated attic melts that snow unevenly. The runoff refreezes at the colder eaves, forming ice dams that push water under shingles. Balanced attic insulation, ridge and soffit ventilation, and properly installed ice-and-water shield all reduce this risk together.
Wind off Lake Erie drives rain sideways into flashing seams and loosens shingle edges over time. Chimney intersections and exposed roof edges take the brunt of this exposure, which is why we inspect those points closely on every Hamburg roof we assess.
A spring assessment catches winter damage early, a fall inspection clears gutters before snow hits, and a post-storm check confirms your roof survived intact. Safe winter monitoring from the ground, checking for ice buildup or sagging, rounds out a practical maintenance routine. We apply this same seasonal lens to every Hamburg roof we work on.

Town of Hamburg guidance states that permits are now required for re-roofing, and the Village of Hamburg uses the Town’s shared building enforcement service for this purpose. Permit scope varies by project and jurisdiction, so we confirm exact requirements for your address before any work begins. Review current guidance on the Town of Hamburg Building Permits.
As of August 1, 2024, the Town of Hamburg requires contractors to submit a building permit letter of authorization from the property owner before starting work. We prepare this documentation, submit the permit application, schedule required inspections, and keep you updated throughout the process so you never have to navigate local building requirements alone.
Roof area, pitch, the number of layers being removed, material choice, flashing needs, decking repairs, labor complexity, access to the roof, and waste disposal all factor into your final cost. Two roofs of the same size can carry different price tags once these variables come into play.
Your written estimate covers inspection findings, labor, materials, tear-off scope, ventilation, flashing, a project schedule, and applicable warranty terms. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we schedule a single day of work.

Our crews complete roof repairs, replacements, and installations across Erie County communities near Hamburg, applying the same system-first approach to every property, from a single-shingle repair to a full tear-off.
Full Tear-Off
The problem - Curling shingles, worn flashing, and leaks in more than one room
Our scope - Tear-off to the deck, decking repair, ice-and-water shield, new shingles and flashing
Years of lake-effect snow and wind had worn this roof out across every slope. We stripped it 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 closed out the job.
Targeted Repair
The problem - Ceiling stains after storms with wind off the lake
Our scope - Leak tracing, flashing repair, resealed penetrations
The owner expected to need a new roof. Our inspection traced the water to flashing around the vent stacks and skylight curbs that wind-driven rain had worked loose, while the rest of the roof still had years left. We repaired and resealed each penetration and documented the work with photos.
New Roof Installation
The problem - A new addition needed a roof that matched the original home
Our scope - Starter strips, drip edge, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at valleys, step flashing
This family added a second story over their garage. We built the new roof from the deck up, 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.
