Manhattan Beach is the peninsula between Sheepshead Bay and the ocean, with alphabetical streets from Amherst to Oxford running between Oriental Boulevard and the bay. The older houses have hipped roofs in shingle or clay tile. Many of the newer and rebuilt homes have large flat roofs behind parapets, often with terraces or roof decks over the bedrooms.
No other part of Brooklyn puts a roof under more wind. Gusts come straight off the water, and the edges, corners and perimeter of a roof take the most uplift. Loose edge metal, lifted shingles at the eaves and membrane pulling away at a parapet are the first things we check after a storm here.
Salt is the slower problem. It corrodes metal flashing, fasteners, gutters and HVAC curb flashing years faster than inland, and corroded flashing is where most leaks on otherwise good roofs start.
Roof decks need their own care. A deck over a living space depends on the membrane underneath it, and that membrane is hidden. We check the drainage, the door threshold and the parapet tie in, which are the usual leak points.
What we see on Manhattan Beach roofs: ocean side edges and corners lifted by wind, corroded metal flashing at parapets and HVAC curbs, roof decks leaking at the door threshold, clogged scuppers on big flat roofs, and Sandy era repairs that were never finished properly.

Q: Why do roofs near the ocean need different flashing?
A: Salt air corrodes ordinary metal flashing, fasteners and gutters much faster than inland, and corroded flashing is a leading leak point. On the ocean side we use corrosion resistant materials and fasteners so the details last as long as the roof.
Q: My roof deck leaks into the bedroom below. Where is the leak?
A: Usually at the door threshold, at the parapet where the membrane turns up, or at a clogged drain that lets water stand under the deck. The membrane under the deck boards is the real roof, so it has to be inspected, not just the surface.
Q: What should I check after a storm in Manhattan Beach?
A: Look from the ground at the roof edges and corners for lifted shingles or bent edge metal, check the parapet caps, and look for new stains on top floor ceilings. We do free post storm inspections and document damage for insurance.
