Our designs are tailored to your needs, incorporating various materials, railing systems, lighting, and even landscaping. Our team will guide you through the available choices and help you select the best options for your space, ensuring that your roof deck meets both your functional and aesthetic goals.
Structural Integrity & Compliance
To ensure the safety and longevity of your rooftop deck, we work closely with engineers and architects. We take into account factors such as snow loads, wind speeds, building age, and material weight to make sure your rooftop deck is structurally sound. We also adhere to NYC building codes, which require non-combustible materials for rooftop decks, or limit the use of combustible materials to less than 20% of the roof area.
Waterproofing & Drainage
Proper drainage and waterproofing are critical for rooftop decks. Our designs include easy access to drains, vents, and the roof structure for maintenance and inspection. This ensures that your deck is long-lasting and functional, without compromising the roof beneath it

What materials are best for rooftop decks?
We specialize in rooftop decks made from concrete or porcelain pavers, as well as synthetic turf. Each material offers unique benefits for longevity, style, and weather resistance.
Can any rooftop be converted into a deck?
Not all rooftops are suitable for decks without proper evaluation. We closely work with engineers and architects to assess structural integrity, load capacity, and any required reinforcements before beginning rooftop deck construction.
What is the lifespan of a rooftop deck?
The lifespan of a rooftop deck varies based on the materials used and maintenance. Composite decking, porcelain and concrete tiles are highly durable and can last 25-35 years, while proper waterproofing and drainage systems can also extend the lifespan.
Do rooftop decks increase property value?
Yes, rooftop decks can significantly increase property value by providing additional usable space, improved insulation, and appealing outdoor living areas that attract potential buyers or tenants.

New York City requires all work to be filed with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) through an Alt CO or Alteration (formerly Alt 1 & Alt 2). It must comply with local regulations regarding height restrictions, material use, and weight limits. We handle all the permitting and regulatory processes for you.
How do you ensure proper drainage on a rooftop deck?
We design rooftop decks with proper drainage in mind, using pedestal systems that allow water to flow beneath the deck surface, preventing water buildup and ensuring the longevity of both the deck and the roof below.
What are the benefits of a rooftop deck?
