What Freeze, Rain And Leaves Do To Flat Roofs
Kew Gardens is largely prewar apartment, co-op and condo buildings, their flat roofs reached by hatch or bulkhead. Checking the membrane and parapet before the seams fail catches these early.

| Roof part | What happens here | The fix |
|---|---|---|
| Parapet wall and coping | Freeze-thaw cracks the joints | Repoint and reflash |
| Bulkhead and hatch flashing | Nor'easter rain enters at the seams | New flashing |
| Modified bitumen or EPDM | Seams lift and blister | Seam repair or flat roof coating |
| Drains and scuppers | Leaves and snow melt cause ponding | Clear drains, replace wet underlayment |

Slate, Tile And Shingle Near Forest Park
Tudor-style homes, two-families and attached houses here have slate, clay tile or asphalt shingle roofs. Older prewar roofs often show tired underlayment and worn chimney flashing.
Leaves from the canopy around the park pack the gutters, and winter snow and ice back water up at the eaves. We repair slate and tile, reflash chimneys and fix gutters.
