Yonkers Roof Pros provides professional gutters, leaders and roof drains in Yonkers, NY for residential and commercial properties across southwest Westchester. People call us about gutters because gutter is the word everyone knows. On a parapet building there is frequently no eave to hang one on, and the thing failing is a drain, a leader or a scupper. We would rather correct the word than sell the wrong product.
Here is what your building probably has instead. Water runs to a low point, enters a cast-iron bowl through a strainer, passes a clamping ring that grips the membrane, and drops into a leader that runs down inside a wall chase to the sewer. Every part of that is invisible, and every part of it is older than the roof. In many cases nobody has looked at any of it since the building was converted.
Which is why the honest first job is usually small. Pull the strainer, snake the leader, camera it if it will not clear, replace the clamping ring if it is cracked, and reflash the sump collar. That is a few hundred dollars of work that stops a leak a great many owners have been quoted a new roof for. We quote that first and the roof second, in that order.
Scuppers are the other exit and the one people forget. A through-wall opening with a lead-lined sleeve, a conductor head hung below it and a leader down the face of the building. Sleeves part from the masonry as the wall moves, and the water then runs inside the parapet rather than out of it, staining the top-floor wall. A conductor head rusted through at its throat is a ten-minute find.
Where there is a real eave, on the street face or over a porch, we hang real gutters: half round or ogee in aluminum or copper, hangers at two feet rather than three, and outlets sized to the roof area above them. Copper conductor heads on lock-seam leaders are worth the money on a building that deserves them. Outlet size, not gutter size, is what stops an overflow at the corner.
What we will not do is sell you a gutter to solve a drain problem. Adding one does not give you a second drainage path where the code let a re-cover skip the overflow, it does not unblock the leader, and it will not stop the ceiling below from staining. We will quote the drain and tell you the gutter is optional. Saying no to a gutter sale is not a negotiating tactic.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — cast-iron drain bowls with replacement clamping rings, tapered polyisocyanurate laid to a quarter-inch board layout, lead-lined through-wall scupper sleeves, torch-applied SBS cap sheet turned up the parapet, gravel-stop edge metal set in two courses of flashing cement, sheet-metal coping caps with concealed splice plates — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Yonkers and nearby communities including Mount Vernon, Bronxville, Tuckahoe, Eastchester.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters, leaders and roof drains
The difference between gutters, leaders and roof drains that lasts and gutters, leaders and roof drains that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with cast-iron drain bowls with replacement clamping rings, tapered polyisocyanurate laid to a quarter-inch board layout, lead-lined through-wall scupper sleeves, torch-applied SBS cap sheet turned up the parapet, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Yonkers job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southwest Westchester means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Yonkers Chooses Yonkers Roof Pros
- ✓We settle one question before any other: does this roof still drain. The city's own re-roofing permit hangs two code allowances on that word, and your price hangs on it too.
- ✓A hose test on the low corner with the chalk line and the drain-down time written onto the estimate, rather than a slope guessed at from the sidewalk.
- ✓The drain bowl, clamping ring, strainer and the leader inside the wall chase are itemized apart from the membrane, because they fail on a completely different clock.
- ✓Where the street face is shingle and the deck behind it is membrane, you get two systems, two prices and two service lives, never one figure for the address.
