Professional Roofer in Brooklyn, NY – City Suburb

City Suburb Insights Team • August 2, 2024

Brooklyn roofs work hard—sun, wind, sudden downpours, snow loads, and aging materials all take a toll on diverse building types from single-family brownstones to mixed-use properties and low-slope commercial buildings. That's why your roofer needs real experience with local buildings, flat systems, and steep-slope homes alike. 


City Suburb delivers comprehensive roofing solutions throughout Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, and Long Island, combining decades of expertise with quality materials and professional installation techniques that protect properties and enhance their long-term value.


Whether you're dealing with an aging roof that needs replacement, storm damage requiring immediate repair, or planning a new construction project, choosing the right roofing contractor makes the difference between a roof that lasts decades and one that becomes a source of ongoing problems and expenses.


Comprehensive Roofing Services for Brooklyn Properties


As a full-service roofer, City Suburb offers a complete range of roofing services designed to meet the diverse needs of Brooklyn's residential and commercial properties. Our approach combines thorough assessment, quality materials, and precise installation techniques to deliver roofing systems that perform reliably in New York's demanding climate conditions.


Professional Roof Installation & Replacement


New roof installation requires careful coordination of multiple building systems to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Our installation process begins with thorough structural assessment and continues through material selection, installation, and final inspection to verify that every component meets manufacturer specifications and local building codes.


We offer multiple roofing systems to match different architectural styles and performance requirements. From classic asphalt shingle roofs to premium slate and tile and EPDM systems, rubber roofs, cold and hot roofing installation, our installers focus on substrate preparation, ventilation, and fastening so the new system performs as designed. Bitumen roof installation provides waterproof durability at cost-effective pricing, making it an excellent choice for properties requiring reliable protection from heavy rainfall and snow.

Expert Roof Repair & Maintenance Solutions


Professional roof repair addresses problems at their source rather than providing temporary fixes that lead to recurring issues. Not every leak means you need a new roof—any experienced roofer will tell you that if a roof isn't past its prime, targeted repair is often the best choice. We'll inspect, explain options, and only recommend replacement when condition and age make it the right move.

Our Services in Brooklyn, NY

Our repair services provide targeted solutions for leaks, damaged shingles, flashing issues, ponding on flat roofs, skylight and gutter problems—done to stop water intrusion and protect interiors. Flat roof repair requires specialized techniques due to the unique challenges of low-slope systems. Our team addresses membrane damage, ponding water issues, and drainage problems that can compromise flat roof performance.


Gutter repair ensures proper water management and prevents the foundation and structural damage that can result from inadequate drainage. Our comprehensive gutter services address clogs, leaks, improper slopes, and damaged components that prevent effective water diversion away from building foundations.


Ongoing maintenance and planned inspections reduce emergency calls and help you avoid premature replacement—smart for multifamily and commercial roofs, and just as valuable for homeowners. These preventive programs identify small issues before they become big ones while extending roof service life.


Specialized Flat Roof & EPDM Systems


Brooklyn's flat and low-slope commercial buildings require a specialized roofer with expertise in membrane installation, drainage design, and long-term maintenance planning. We install and service flat and low-slope systems, including EPDM and rubber roofs—ideal for many Brooklyn buildings. Our flat roof services encompass built-up roofing systems that provide multiple layers of protection, PVC roofing for superior chemical resistance and energy efficiency, and modified bitumen systems that offer flexibility combined with durability.


EPDM roofing installation delivers proven performance through synthetic rubber membranes designed for long-term weather resistance. Our EPDM services include custom roof design tailored to building architecture and usage requirements, restoration services that extend existing roof life, and retrofitting solutions that incorporate energy-efficient improvements.


We also provide restoration, retrofits, and maintenance programs to extend service life for existing flat roof systems.
