COMMON QUESTIONS

NEW CONSTRUCTION QUESTIONS

What roofing systems do you install on new construction?

We install all commercial roofing systems on new construction: TPO and PVC single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber roofing, modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), metal roofing, green roofs, and blue roof stormwater systems. We help architects and GCs select the best system for each project.

Do you work with general contractors?

Yes, we regularly partner with general contractors on new construction projects throughout NYC and the Tri-State area. We provide competitive bidding, coordinate schedules with other trades, and maintain excellent communication throughout the project. We are MBE certified for projects requiring diversity goals.

Are you bonded and insured for large projects?

Yes, L&M Roofing is fully bonded and carries comprehensive liability insurance with limits suitable for large commercial projects. We can provide certificates of insurance and bonding capacity letters upon request. We meet insurance requirements for NYC DOB and NYCHA projects.

What is the timeline for new construction roofing?

New construction roofing timelines depend on project size and system type. We work within overall construction schedules and coordinate with other trades. Typical commercial roofs take 1-4 weeks depending on size. We can phase work to accommodate building enclosure requirements.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes, we handle all roofing-related permit applications and coordinate required inspections with NYC DOB and local building departments. We ensure all work meets current building codes including NYC energy code requirements for roof insulation values.
