In Brooklyn, roofing replacement costs can range from $650 to $1,200 per opening, depending on materials and labor. The unique architectural styles and weather conditions in Brooklyn require specialized knowledge and precise planning. This guide provides construction professionals with the latest insights and strategies for efficient roofing replacement projects.
• Building age: Pre-war masonry requires delicate cornice work and specialized fastening
• Accessibility: Narrow streets and limited staging areas can add labor hours
• Layer count: NYC code allows only two existing shingle layers before full tear-off
• Permit requirements: Department of Buildings filings, sidewalk sheds, and neighbor notifications
• Material upgrades: Class-4 impact shingles or solar-ready underlayment increase both value and price
• Site prep and permits: 1–2 days
• Tear-off and decking inspection: 1 day for 2,000 sq ft or less
• Underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and flashing: 0.5 day
• Shingle installation and ridge venting: 1 day
• Clean-up and DOB inspection: Same day as install completion
Total active construction time: typically 3 days, weather permitting. CountBricks schedules buffer days for rain delays and notifies homeowners through automated text and email updates.
