Bushwick has transformed dramatically over the last 15 years, from industrial warehouses and tenement era row houses to converted artist lofts, new condos, and preserved century old brownstones. Most roofs here are flat, many are overdue for replacement, and many are layered with multiple old membranes.
We specialize in full tear-off flat roof replacements on Bushwick warehouses, row houses, and mixed use buildings along Myrtle Ave, Wyckoff Ave, Knickerbocker Ave, and Bushwick Ave. We handle TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and urethane coatings. For older tenement buildings with 3 to 4 layers of old roof, we coordinate with the DOB for safe tear-off.

Bushwick's industrial to residential conversions often need complete membrane replacement plus structural reinforcement before new roof installation. Common issues: multi layer buildups exceeding allowable weight, active leaks from 1970s-80s bituminous roofs, and insufficient insulation in converted lofts.

Bushwick is a mix that changes block by block: nineteenth century wood frame houses, early twentieth century brick row houses, converted industrial buildings, and a steady layer of newer development. Each of those fails differently, and the right assessment starts with establishing which one you have rather than with the roof surface.
The older wood frame stock is the most fragile. Many of these houses have had roofs layered over one another for decades, and the sheathing underneath is frequently the real story. We find soft or delaminated deck on these roofs more often than anywhere else in north Brooklyn, and it is invisible until the covering comes off.
The brick row houses carry the classic Brooklyn pattern: a flat or low slope main roof, parapet walls on three sides, and more linear feet of roof to wall transition than the roof area suggests. Cracked coping on those parapets lets water straight into the wall, where it runs down inside and appears on a ceiling two floors below, nowhere near where it entered.
Converted industrial and newer buildings bring large flat roofs with significant mechanical equipment, and on those the failures cluster at curbs, penetrations and drains rather than in the membrane itself. Ponding that has not cleared forty eight hours after rain is the first thing we look for.
Most blocks are attached with no driveway, so material is hoisted or hand carried and a dumpster usually needs a permit. Where a building is tall enough or the work is above a public sidewalk, a shed may be required, and that gets settled before the job rather than after a complaint. On multi family and converted buildings we issue a certificate of insurance naming the building and the managing agent before anyone arrives, and we book service access in advance.

A flat roof replacement typically runs $9 to $18 per square foot including tear off and new insulation. Shingle work on pitched sections runs $4.50 to $8 per square foot installed. Deck replacement is $95 to $180 per sheet and is common on the older wood frame houses here, where roofs have often been layered for decades.
On a Bushwick row house it is usually the parapet rather than the roof. Cracked coping on top of the parapet wall lets water straight into the masonry, where it runs down inside the wall and surfaces on a ceiling two floors below, nowhere near the entry point. Any serious assessment here treats the parapet as part of the roof.
Yes, and a good deal of our Bushwick work is exactly that. Large flat roofs with mechanical equipment fail at curbs, penetrations and drains rather than in the membrane. We issue a certificate of insurance naming the building and managing agent before anyone arrives and schedule around occupancy rather than through it.
It depends on building height and whether material could fall toward a public sidewalk. On most one to three family houses, work reached from the roof does not require one. We settle that question before the job is scheduled rather than after a complaint, and when a shed is needed it is quoted separately because its cost depends on how long it stays up.
