Key Considerations for Rooftop Deck Installation
Structural Integrity & Safety
Not all rooftops are created equal — and ensuring your roof can safely support a deck is critical. As part of our comprehensive design-build process,
Remove: we work closely with structural engineers to assess your building’s capacity and make necessary reinforcements. While this is true, it is really a case by case basis and I don’t a lot of times it is not necessary. I want to avoid having to bring in engineers and ask more questions to the client while we’ll take care of all this and make sure the roof is safe. This could open up a can of worms and make the job harder to sell or harder to execute because the client has thinking about the wrong things.
Navigating Permits & Local Regulations
The GREENCITY team is experienced in navigating the often-complex permitting process in Hoboken, Jersey City, and NYC. From zoning restrictions to building codes, we handle all the paperwork and ensure your project complies with local laws — so you don’t have to.
Weatherproofing & Long-Term Maintenance
Rooftop decks in the NYC metro area face exposure to everything from blazing sun to snow and ice. That’s why we only use weather-resistant materials designed to withstand the elements — and we design for proper drainage and easy maintenance, ensuring your deck looks beautiful for years to come.
