Roof Repair & Replacement in Manhattan

Manhattan roofing is mostly flat and low-slope work: tar-and-membrane roofs behind parapets, reached through bulkheads and roof hatches, on buildings that range from 19th-century row houses to postwar towers. Access, sidewalk protection, hoisting and board or landmark approvals shape most jobs as much as the roof system does.

Roofing conditions in Manhattan

Nor'easters, summer heat on dark membranes and winter freeze-thaw all work on seams, flashings and parapet copings. Ponded water on flat roofs is the most common root cause we see behind interior stains.

Permits in Manhattan

Roofing work in Manhattan is regulated by the NYC Department of Buildings. Many roof replacements are filed through DOB NOW, buildings in landmark districts may also need Landmarks Preservation Commission review, and co-ops and condos typically require board approval and an alteration agreement.

Questions about roofing in Manhattan

Do you work on Manhattan co-op and condo roofs?
Yes. Co-op and condo roofs are a large part of Manhattan work. We coordinate with the managing agent and board, provide the documents they ask for and schedule around building rules.
How do you get materials onto a Manhattan roof?
Depending on height and street access we use hoists, cranes, carry-up through a stair bulkhead or a mix. Street and sidewalk permits, if needed, are part of the job plan.
Does a Manhattan landmark district change the roof work?
It can. Visible roof elements, cornices and skylights in landmark districts may need Landmarks Preservation Commission review. We tell you at the estimate whether your address is affected.
