Gardens, side streets or the commercial strip: your roof before we climb
Sunnyside roofs sit in three settings. Each one changes the job.
| Setting | Gardens rowhouses and garden apartments Shared roofline | Prewar apartments, co-ops, two-family houses | Queens Blvd, Skillman and Greenpoint Ave storefronts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Usual roof | Modified bitumen, some shingle on houses | Modified bitumen or EPDM behind parapets | TPO or modified bitumen over the shop |
| How we get up | Ladder from the rear yard | Roof hatch off the top floor | Sidewalk ladder, clear of shoppers |
| Check first | Landmarks approval if visible from street | Board sign-off before work over occupied units | DOB permit where the job needs one |
| Where weather hits first | Wind-driven rain at shared flashing | Freeze-thaw at parapet coping | Snow load, clogged drains and scuppers |
What we do on Sunnyside roofs
This work fits Sunnyside's attached rowhouses, apartment buildings and storefronts. Low-slope roofs here usually take modified bitumen.

Leaking now on an attached roof?
Tarping comes first. It's the opening step in stopping a flat roof leak while water is still coming in, and it keeps water off your ceiling. Nor'easters and wind-driven rain usually get in at the parapet coping, the flashing or a backed-up scupper.
Joined rooflines change the search. The stain under your ceiling can start at the seam with your neighbour's roof. So we trace the leak along the shared roofline before we cut in a repair.
Three things Sunnyside owners ask before we go up
Do I need landmarks approval to fix my roof in Sunnyside Gardens?
Sometimes. Gardens work seen from the street can need Landmarks approval, so we check before quoting. A DOB permit gets lined up where the job needs one.
Does a repair on a shared roofline involve my neighbour's roof?
Usually at the edge. Your roof ties into the next one at the party wall. We seal that seam so both roofs stay dry.
How do you get onto my roof on a tight block with no parking?
Through the hatch, if there is one. If not, we ladder up from the rear or the sidewalk, timed around shop hours on Queens Blvd.
