COMMERCIAL ROOFING & RESTORATIONMANHATTAN, NYC
Manhattan roofing is a logistics problem as much as a technical one: crane picks and street closures, staging on blocks with no yard space, occupied buildings that cannot pause, and façade and parapet obligations under the city's FISP inspection cycles. L&M Roofing has been executing that work since 1970 — MBE-certified, self-performing, with our own equipment and crews.
Our Manhattan portfolio runs from the historic Harlem River Houses campus in Harlem to green roof and amenity deck work at the Sendero Verde development in East Harlem — public, institutional, and private work delivered under prevailing-wage and MWBE requirements, on buildings that stay occupied while we work.
WHAT WE DO IN MANHATTAN
ROOFING SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Manhattan buildings get the systems their specifications and logistics demand: Siplast Parapro PMMA liquid-applied reroofing where open flame is prohibited and staging is tight; hot fluid-applied rubberized-asphalt waterproofing beneath vegetated roofs and amenity decks; modified bitumen and built-up assemblies on institutional buildings; and complete parapet, coping, and railing packages — fabricated in-house and installed by the same crews, which matters when every day of street-level protection counts.
Case Study: Harlem River Houses & Sendero Verde — Uptown Manhattan
At Harlem River Houses, one of the city's landmark public housing campuses, L&M performed roofing and restoration work on occupied historic buildings — the kind of project where preservation detailing, agency documentation, and resident safety all run in parallel. Nearby at Sendero Verde in East Harlem, one of the country's largest passive-house affordable developments, our scope included green roof and amenity deck assemblies. Two very different buildings, one requirement: self-performed work that holds up to city scrutiny.
MANHATTAN ROOFING FAQS
Can you handle roofing and parapet work tied to FISP (Local Law 11) findings?
Yes — façade, parapet, and coping deficiencies flagged in FISP inspection cycles frequently connect to roof-edge conditions. We perform the parapet reconstruction, coping, railing, and roofing scopes together, so one contractor closes out the finding. Call (914) 937-1030.
How do you manage staging and logistics on tight Manhattan sites?
We plan crane picks, street permits, protection, and material logistics as part of the bid — not as an afterthought — and our crews work occupied buildings without interrupting operations below.
Are you MWBE certified for city and state work?
Yes — L&M is a certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) with both New York City and New York State, and we regularly perform prevailing-wage public work.
Do you install green roofs and amenity decks in Manhattan?
Yes — vegetated assemblies, blue roofs, and pedestal-paver amenity decks over hot fluid-applied waterproofing are a specialty, including on large passive-house developments.
