COMMERCIAL ROOFING & RESTORATIONQUEENS, NY
Queens runs from dense multifamily neighborhoods to industrial and logistics corridors around JFK and LaGuardia to oceanfront blocks in the Rockaways — and each asks something different of a roof. L&M Roofing has installed and restored commercial roofing across all of it since 1970, as an MBE-certified, self-performing contractor built for New York City's public and institutional work.
Our Queens experience includes new-construction roofing and green roof assemblies on affordable housing in Far Rockaway — where wind exposure and salt air demand coastal-grade detailing — alongside flat-roof replacement and building envelope restoration for multifamily portfolios, warehouses, and institutional buildings across the borough.
WHAT WE DO IN QUEENS
ROOFING SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
On Queens buildings we self-perform the systems the specs call for: modified bitumen and built-up assemblies on industrial and institutional roofs; Siplast Parapro PMMA liquid-applied reroofing on occupied buildings; hot fluid-applied waterproofing beneath vegetated roofs and amenity decks on new construction; and enhanced-uplift fastening and edge-metal detailing for coastal wind zones like the Rockaways. Copings, railings, and gutters are fabricated by our own metal shop — one submittal package, one accountable installer.
Case Study: Beach Green Dunes III — Coastal Affordable Housing, Far Rockaway
At Beach Green Dunes III in Far Rockaway, L&M performed the roofing scope on new energy-efficient affordable housing built a block from the Atlantic — where uplift resistance, flashing details, and membrane selection are tested by coastal wind and salt air. Delivering specified systems on schedule for a development team, under the documentation requirements affordable-housing work carries, is exactly the kind of project our self-performing crews were built for.
QUEENS ROOFING FAQS
What roofing systems hold up in coastal Queens neighborhoods?
Near the water — the Rockaways, Broad Channel, and the coastal edge of the borough — wind uplift and salt exposure drive the design: enhanced fastening patterns, robust edge metal, and membranes detailed for wind-driven rain. We install to the specified uplift requirements and back it with manufacturer warranties. Call (914) 937-1030.
Do you handle industrial and warehouse roofs in Queens?
Yes — large low-slope industrial roofs are core work: modified bitumen, built-up, and cold-applied systems, with phasing planned so operations underneath continue uninterrupted.
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.
Can you work on occupied buildings without disrupting tenants?
Yes — we phase work, plan protection and staging, and coordinate schedules around residents and operations. Multi-building programs on occupied campuses are a specialty.
