Homes and Buildings We Work On in Queens

Queens has more detached and semi-detached houses than any other part of New York City, and that shapes the work we do here:

• Detached and attached one- and two-family homes in eastern Queens, many with pitched asphalt-shingle roofs, private driveways and finished basements.
• Brick rowhouses and Tudor-style attached homes with flat or low-slope rear roofs that need proper drainage and flashing.
• Shared and private driveways that crack and settle after years of freeze-thaw winters and heavy vehicle use.
• Mixed-use and commercial buildings along Jamaica Avenue, Hillside Avenue, Northern Boulevard and Queens Boulevard, including storefront build-outs and parking areas.

Permits and Licensing in Queens

Queens follows New York City rules. Many roofing, structural and alteration jobs need a permit from the NYC Department of Buildings, and home improvement contractors working in the city must be licensed by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP). Work on sidewalks, curb cuts and anything in the public right-of-way can also involve the NYC Department of Transportation. We tell you during the estimate which approvals your project needs, so there are no surprises later.

Weather and What It Does to Queens Properties

Winter freeze-thaw cycles open up cracks in asphalt and lift flashing on older roofs, while summer storms test gutters and low-slope drainage. Eastern Queens also sits close to the coast, so strong nor'easter winds can loosen shingles. Spring and early fall are the best times to schedule paving and roof work, but we handle urgent leaks and storm damage all year.
