All Access Builders LLC is a Buffalo-based roofing contractor serving Kenmore and the surrounding Erie County communities. We handle roof repair, roof replacement, and new roof installation for homes that face real Western New York weather, from lake-effect snow to wind off Lake Erie. Every project starts with an honest inspection and ends with a written estimate, so you know the scope before any work begins.
Roofing sits at the center of what we do. Below are the services Kenmore homeowners call us for most, each handled by our own crews from the first inspection to the final walkthrough.
Roof leaks, missing or lifted shingles, damaged flashing, and problem areas around roof penetrations all point to a repair rather than a full replacement. Water intrusion often traces back to one weak spot. We inspect the roof first and recommend a localized fix when that’s genuinely the right call.
A full tear-off makes sense once decking has deteriorated or shingles show damage across the whole roof instead of in one spot. We remove old materials down to the deck, replace any compromised sections, and install new underlayment, flashing, and ventilation as part of a complete roof-system renewal. Repeatedly patching a roof that’s reached the end of its service life usually costs more over time than replacing it once, correctly.
New construction and home additions need a roofing system built from the deck up. We account for roof pitch, waterproofing layers, and code-compliant installation methods, and we make sure the new roof integrates cleanly with the rest of the building envelope rather than sitting as a separate afterthought.
Active leaks and wind damage after a storm need fast attention. Call us, and we’ll assess the hazard and arrange temporary weatherproofing where conditions allow, then schedule the permanent repair. We don’t promise guaranteed immediate dispatch, since response timing depends on weather, safety conditions, and crew availability, but emergency contact is always available.
Standing-seam and ribbed metal roofing suit many steep-slope homes, while EPDM and TPO membrane systems handle low-slope sections like garages and additions. We select materials according to the roof’s actual design rather than pushing one product as universally superior, since the right system depends on slope, drainage, and how the structure is used.
Kenmore homeowners want a contractor who shows up, communicates clearly, and stands behind the work. Here’s what sets our roofing team apart.
All Access Builders LLC has Buffalo roots going back to 2003, founded by Buffalo native Matt Kulhanek. Decades of hands-on experience across Western New York construction shape how we approach every roof we touch today. Kenmore is one of the many communities we serve, not our physical office location.
We carry insurance coverage and hold applicable local licensing, subject to verification of current credentials. Our roofing crews work in-house, under direct project oversight, and every job starts with a written proposal that spells out the scope before work begins.
Workmanship warranties cover our installation work, while manufacturer warranties cover the materials themselves. These are two different protections. Exact terms depend on the specific roof system, product line, and eligibility requirements outlined in your contract, and we review them with you before any work starts.

Kenmore homes face the same lake-effect snow, ice, and wind patterns as the rest of Western New York. We build roofing systems that account for the climate, not just the shingles on top.
Ice dams form when heat escapes into the attic and melts snow on the roof deck unevenly, which then refreezes at the colder eaves. Proper insulation, air sealing, balanced soffit and ridge ventilation, and correctly installed ice-and-water shield all reduce this risk. No single product eliminates ice dams completely, so we treat prevention as a combination of measures.
Wind resistance comes from how a roof is assembled, not just the shingle brand. Proper fastening at roof edges, valleys, and chimneys, along with correctly installed flashing, drip edge, and underlayment, keeps wind-driven rain and gusts from finding a way in. We treat each of these as components of one connected system.
Kenmore's housing stock includes plenty of older homes, and older roofs often come with their own complications. Multiple existing roofing layers, aging chimney flashing, deteriorated decking, and worn soffit and fascia can all contribute to leaks. Tight construction access can also make inspections and repairs more involved. We account for these realities on a property-by-property basis rather than assuming every older home has the same issues.
Material selection depends on your roof’s slope, exposure, and budget. Here’s what we typically recommend.
Architectural asphalt shingles work well on most steep-slope residential roofs and offer strong wind ratings along with manufacturer warranty coverage. We install products from manufacturers including GAF, CertainTeed, and IKO, and we’ll walk through style and warranty options based on what’s currently available for your project.
Standing-seam metal roofing suits pitched roofs looking for long-term durability, while EPDM and TPO membrane products handle qualifying flat or low-slope sections. Snow management, material expansion, waterproofing, and the roof’s actual slope all factor into which system makes sense for a given structure.
Not every roofing problem calls for a full replacement, and not every repair actually solves the underlying issue. Here’s how to tell the difference.
Isolated leaks, deteriorating flashing in one area, a handful of missing shingles, water stains confined to a single room, and localized storm damage often point to a repair. These symptoms alone don’t confirm the diagnosis, which is why a professional inspection matters before deciding on a fix.
Widespread shingle wear, leaks that keep recurring in different spots, multiple failure points across the roof, and damaged decking usually signal that a full replacement makes more sense than another round of patches. Roof age plays a role in that decision, but age alone doesn’t automatically require replacement if the roof is otherwise sound.
An inspection confirms whether your roof needs a repair or a replacement.
We keep the process straightforward from the first call to the final walkthrough.
01.
We arrange a visit to your property, review current roof conditions, and discuss any leak history or specific concerns you’ve noticed.
02.
You’ll get a written scope covering proposed materials, disposal of old roofing, anticipated decking work, permit considerations, and a realistic project timeline.
03.
Our crew protects your landscaping and property, removes the old roof where applicable, inspects exposed decking, and installs the new system, including flashing, before cleaning the jobsite thoroughly.
04.
We complete a final check of the work, coordinate any required municipal inspection, walk the property with you, and review warranty documentation along with payment records.
Every roof is different, and so is every estimate. Here’s what shapes the number you’ll see.
Roof area, slope, material choice, the number of existing roofing layers, decking condition, accessibility, flashing complexity, ventilation needs, labor, disposal, and permit fees all factor into your final cost. We don’t publish local averages or starting prices, since no two roofs face identical conditions.
Your estimate outlines the proposed material system, full work scope, any contingencies, labor, cleanup, project timeline, payment terms, and applicable warranties. If financing becomes available through a verified program, we’ll point you to its actual terms directly rather than make assumptions here.

Permit rules vary by jurisdiction, and Kenmore has its own process separate from the City of Buffalo.
Permit requirements depend on your property’s jurisdiction and the scope of the job. The Village of Kenmore Building Department handles roofing-permit applications and contractor information for properties within the Village, and some ZIP 14217 addresses fall under the Town of Tonawanda instead. We confirm the correct jurisdiction before filing anything on your behalf.
We confirm which permits apply, follow the applicable roofing standards for your property’s jurisdiction, schedule required inspections, and keep project records organized so you have documentation on file when the work wraps up.
Our crews have completed roof repairs, replacements, and installations across Buffalo and Erie County, and we’re glad to share examples of comparable work during your consultation.
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
Like many older homes in Kenmore, this Victorian had a porch roof that had been patched for years. We opened it up, replaced the deteriorated decking, and re-flashed the joint where the porch roof meets the house so meltwater runs off instead of in. 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 house
Our scope - Roof decking, ice-and-water shield at valleys, step flashing, matching shingles
This family added a full second story over their garage. Our crew ran ice-and-water shield through the valleys where the new roof meets the old one, set step flashing along every wall, and installed shingles matched to the existing roof. From the street, the addition reads as part of the original home.
Porch Roof and Soffit
The problem - Sagging porch roof and an open, weathered underside
Our scope - Porch roof reframe, new roofing, vented soffit, columns
This bungalow’s porch roof had started to sag and its underside was exposed to the weather. We reframed the roof, tied the new roofing cleanly into the main roof, and closed in the ceiling with white vented soffit. New columns finished a covered porch built to carry Western New York snow.

Roofing rarely stands alone. Here’s how we handle the rest of the exterior.
Siding, gutters, soffit, and fascia all work alongside your roof to manage drainage and protect roof-edge details. Flashing transitions between siding and roofline need to line up correctly, which is easier to get right when one contractor handles both services.
As a general contractor, we coordinate larger projects, including home additions and remodeling work that requires roof-system integration. Pairing roofing expertise with broader construction experience means fewer handoffs and fewer surprises on bigger jobs.
Planning roofing alongside siding, gutters, or an addition? One contractor can handle it all.
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, material, and decking condition. We don’t publish general pricing, since every property is different, but we provide a written, property-specific quote after an on-site assessment.
Isolated leaks and a handful of damaged shingles usually point to a repair. Widespread wear, recurring leaks, or damaged decking across the roof typically call for a full replacement. An inspection confirms which applies to your roof.
It depends on your property’s jurisdiction and the scope of work. The Village of Kenmore Building Department handles roofing permits for properties within the Village, and we confirm requirements before filing.
