COMMERCIAL ROOFING IN
ALL FIVE BOROUGHS
MBE-certified roofing, waterproofing and envelope restoration for New York City owners, GCs and agencies — self-performed by L&M crews since 1970.
Trusted by property owners, developers, public agencies, and institutional clients throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
New York City work carries its own rules: prevailing wage, MBE participation goals, occupied buildings that cannot shut down, and agencies that expect the paperwork right the first time. L&M has delivered that work for public housing, affordable-housing developers and private owners across the city — with our own crews, our own equipment and our own sheet-metal shop.
Each borough asks something different of a roof. Below is where we have worked, what we do there, and the page with the detail for each.
