Bedford-Stuyvesant (Bed-Stuy) is home to one of Brooklyn's largest concentrations of 19th-century brownstones and row houses — most on tree-lined streets like Jefferson Ave, Hancock St, MacDonough St, and Decatur St. These three- and four-story buildings have flat roofs, typically 15-20 feet wide, with original chimneys, parapets, and cornices that demand careful restoration.
We've completed dozens of Bed-Stuy brownstone roof replacements. Our flat roof work uses Firestone UltraPly TPO, Carlisle EPDM, and torch-down modified bitumen depending on the building. We pay close attention to the historic cornice flashing, chimney caps, and parapet coping — getting these wrong causes water damage that spreads through the entire building.
