"We were surprised to discover the poor condition of the rooftop brickwork after closing on our house; the inspection did not accurately reflect the condition. Alas once we knew replacement was needed, Mr. Chimney's team did impeccable work on 1. the lower chimney masonry accessed from inside the house and 2. replacement of the brickwork & cap on the outdoor rooftop portion of the chimney. The entire team was considerate - sales intake/review, phone scheduling, and the hardest parts: the interior and exterior masonry. We appreciated that the expertise in interior and exterior were handled by unique masonry experts. Clean up was also carefully completed for both interior and exterior. The McCracken sub-brand name is off-putting for sure, it's better for pub night team good times than company branding, alas on the bright side we were happy to know that the team puts a priority on quality work but also has a sense of humor."

"Anthony and his team stopped by to give me an estimate on removing a 6" flex pipe that had been installed in the chimney pipe to vent a wood stove. They climbed the roof, inspected the chimney and determined the flex pipe did not run the length of the two story chimney but was about 6-8' in length. They removed it and also took care of its disposal. And the cost was absurdly reasonable - dinner for two would have cost more. Can’t say enough good things about World Class Maintenance Inc. - these guys are the best!"

At Ansen Home Improvements, the customer ALWAYS comes first.

"After 29 years, it was time to replace our 25-year roof. Ansen did the job! Derek was very helpful in helping us choose the correct color. Lots of choices, all quality products. Very informative. Price was very reasonable. Scheduling was great & reliable. He called the evening before to confirm after checking the weather (it was so-so for a few days). If it rains, they have to reschedule. He said they crew would show up around 7:15AM +/- 15 minutes. I got the call at 7:15 as they pulled up to my house. The actual noisy part of the work began around 9 AM to be respectful to the neighbors. 6 sheets of plywood had to be replaced. Derek showed me where and why. He used 1/2" plywood (code) - Douglas fir (quality). Job was completed on time. During the original estimate he recommend replacement of the gutter guards which was also done. Clean-up was thorough. He had to come back once to fix a small problem with a vent hose. He was there when he said he would. He also gave me an extra package of shingles should repairs ever be needed. I don't have pictures, but Derek will provide a list of completed jobs, including the brand & color used so you can see them. Need a roof? Call Ansen."

Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

For Brooklyn homes, asphalt shingles are a popular choice for roof replacement due to their durability and ease of installation. Metal roofing is well-suited for brownstones and properties exposed to temperature fluctuations. Flat roofs often benefit from EPDM or TPO membranes, which handle urban weather and drainage effectively. If your property is historic, consult the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission for approved materials to maintain compliance.

Helpful?

Roofing in Brooklyn requires strict adherence to OSHA safety standards, including the use of fall protection systems and proper scaffolding, especially for multi-story buildings. Contractors must secure work zones to protect pedestrians and manage debris responsibly, as required by the NYC Department of Buildings. Homeowners should avoid entering active work areas and verify that their roofing contractor carries adequate insurance and is familiar with all local safety regulations.

Helpful?

For roofing in Brooklyn, you'll generally need a permit from the NYC Department of Buildings for full roof replacement, structural modifications, or installing features like solar panels or roof decks. If your property is in a historic district, approval from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission is also required. Routine roof repairs covering less than 25% of the surface usually don't need permits, but always confirm with both agencies before starting any roofing project.

Helpful?

In Brooklyn, hidden costs during roofing projects can include structural repairs revealed during roof inspection, remediation for asbestos or lead paint, and expenses for addressing drainage or flashing issues. You may also need to secure parking permits or arrange for crane access, as required by the NYC Department of Transportation. If your building is landmarked, anticipate additional compliance steps with the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Helpful?

In Brooklyn, frequent mistakes include hiring unlicensed roofing contractors, neglecting to obtain roof permits from the NYC Department of Buildings, and failing to secure necessary approvals from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission for historic properties. Homeowners sometimes overlook proper roof inspection or choose materials unsuitable for their building's style. Always verify credentials, get multiple estimates, and ensure all required paperwork is complete before work begins.
