Rooftop Deck

Top-Rated Rooftop Deck Installation

Brooklyn's skyline, brownstones, and rowhouses give homeowners one huge advantage: the roof. A professionally designed rooftop deck can turn that overlooked space into a private retreat, entertainment magnet, or income-boosting amenity.

Roof On helps homeowners and property managers maximize every inch of their roof with beautifully designed, structurally sound, and fully waterproof rooftop decks, bringing craftsmanship, compliance, and creativity together.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

01Do I need a permit for a rooftop deck in Brooklyn?

Yes, the NYC Department of Buildings requires permit filings, and many rooftop projects must be drawn and filed by a registered architect or engineer. We start every project with a site assessment and permit plan to ensure compliance from day one.

02What waterproofing do you use under rooftop decks?

The most reliable solutions for NYC roofs include EPDM rubber membranes, liquid-applied polyurethane coatings, and bituminous or rubberized asphalt systems, installed by certified crews familiar with rooftop drainage and parapet conditions.

03Can I customize the layout and materials?

Yes, we don't use cookie-cutter plans. We design terraces around how you'll live on them, from planting beds and built-in seating to full outdoor kitchens and lounge areas.

04What guardrail and safety requirements apply?

Guardrails must meet a minimum 42" height in many cases, along with wind screens and fire-escape path clearances, all handled as part of our design and permit process.

05How do you maintain a rooftop deck long-term?

We recommend regular checks of flashing, waterproof membranes, and drainage points, plus UV-resistant furniture. We provide a post-installation checklist and routine maintenance plans.
