Roofing Contractor
Bushwick, Brooklyn
Bushwick's transformation from industrial hub to creative residential neighborhood created buildings that live between two worlds — and need a roofer who understands both the commercial-grade scope of a former factory and the residential-quality finish of a live/work loft.
- Large-format warehouse and factory flat roof systems
- Skylight replacement and curb flashing on converted lofts
- Rooftop equipment penetration coordination
- Annual maintenance programs for rental building owners
Roofing for Bushwick's Unique Building Stock
Bushwick's building mix is unlike any other neighborhood in Brooklyn — and it requires a contractor who's genuinely equipped for both the commercial and residential sides.
Warehouse & Factory Conversions
Bushwick's massive former industrial buildings — many spanning half a city block — present roofing challenges that residential contractors simply aren't equipped for. Large-format flat roofs on these structures require commercial-grade TPO or EPDM systems with proper tapered insulation for drainage, large-area seamless membrane installation, and commercial-spec flashing at curbs, equipment penetrations, and skylights.
Artist Live/Work Loft Roofing
The proliferation of live/work lofts in Bushwick comes with specific roofing considerations: skylights, HVAC curbs, and rooftop equipment that compromise the membrane if improperly flashed. We specialize in penetration detailing — the most common source of leaks in converted loft buildings — and in sky light system replacement for aging aluminum-frame units.
Solar Panel & HVAC Integration
Bushwick buildings — particularly larger mixed-use and multi-family properties — increasingly add rooftop solar and HVAC equipment during renovation. Every penetration, equipment mount, and conduit sleeve is a potential water entry point. We coordinate with mechanical and electrical contractors to ensure roofing integrity is maintained through any rooftop installation.
Multi-Unit Building Maintenance Programs
Many Bushwick buildings operate as rental properties with multiple units — and their owners need a roofing partner who can provide annual inspection programs, rapid-response maintenance, and clear reporting. We offer maintenance agreements that keep flat roofs performing and provide documentation for insurance and tenant disputes.
What We Do Here
Commercial-scale capability with residential-quality execution. Written estimates, DOB permit filing, and 10-year workmanship warranty on every project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work on large converted warehouse buildings in Bushwick?
Yes — this is a core part of what we do. Large industrial conversions require commercial-spec roofing systems, equipment experience, and crews comfortable with large-scale flat roof work. We've completed full re-roofs on Bushwick buildings with roof areas exceeding 10,000 square feet.
My loft building has multiple skylights that are leaking — what's the fix?
Leaking skylights in converted loft buildings are almost always a flashing problem, not a skylight glass problem. We assess whether the issue is the curb flashing, the frame seal, or the surrounding membrane — and repair or replace accordingly. Aluminum-frame skylights past 20 years typically warrant full replacement.
I own a rental building in Bushwick — do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes. We offer annual inspection and maintenance agreements for multi-unit buildings. This includes a documented inspection each spring, minor repairs as needed, and a formal condition report you can use for insurance and budgeting purposes.
How do you handle rooftop solar installation around the roof warranty?
Solar and roofing coordination is critical — improper solar mounting voids most roof warranties. We work directly with solar installers to ensure mounts are properly integrated into the membrane system. We can also re-roof and hand off to a solar installer on a coordinated schedule.
