Why Queens Homeowners Are Dealing With Exterior Problems Right Now
Here’s something most people don’t realize: over 77% of Queens housing was built before 1970. According to NeighborhoodScout, nearly half of the borough’s homes (47.23%) were constructed between the 1940s and 1960s, and another 30.25% were built before 1939. That means the majority of homes in Astoria, Ridgewood, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, and Woodside are now 60 to 85+ years old.
Old homes are beautiful — but they need serious, experienced exterior care.
Bricks crack. Mortar joints erode. Gutters that haven’t been replaced since the Clinton administration can’t handle a Queens rainstorm. And according to Redfin, Queens home values have climbed year-over-year, making it more important than ever to protect that investment with proper exterior maintenance.
Queens is also the largest borough by land area and one of the most densely populated counties in the entire United States. With 2.2 million people living in this borough (per the NYU Furman Center, 2023 data), demand for trusted local contractors is high — and the difference between a professional job and a rushed one shows quickly.
That’s where we come in.
Our Exterior Construction Services in Queens, NY
Your roof is your home’s first and most critical line of defense. In Queens, where annual rainfall averages around 47 inches and the borough sees 25+ inches of snowfall each year, a compromised roof isn’t a “we’ll deal with it later” situation.
According to roofing cost data updated in 2025, NYC homeowners typically pay between $10,000 and $30,000 for a full roof replacement, depending on size, material, and accessibility. A small 1,500 sq ft home with asphalt shingles generally runs between $8,300 and $13,000. We offer honest, upfront pricing – no surprise charges after the job starts.
Our Queens Roofing Services Include:
- Full roof replacement (asphalt, flat, modified bitumen)
- Roof repair for leaks, missing shingles, and storm damage
- Ice and water shield installation
- Roof ventilation and insulation upgrades
- Emergency roof tarping
- NYC DOB permit coordination
Whether it’s a flat roof in Elmhurst or a pitched shingle roof in Forest Hills, our team has the experience to assess, advise, and execute. We don’t do guesswork we do inspections. If your roof can be repaired, we’ll tell you honestly instead of pushing you toward a full replacement.
Signs your Queens roof needs attention:
- Water stains on ceilings or walls after rain
- Missing, curled, or buckling shingles
- Granule loss visible in your gutters
- Sagging or soft spots on the roof deck
- Daylight visible from your attic

Here’s a hard truth: a failing gutter system can cause more damage to your home’s foundation, siding, and basement than almost any other exterior issue — and most homeowners don’t notice it until water is already inside.
In Queens, with its mix of mature trees in neighborhoods like Forest Hills, Fresh Meadows, and Howard Beach, gutters clog faster than you’d think. Leaves, debris, and sediment back up water, which then pours over the side – eroding your landscaping, staining your siding, and seeping into your foundation.
Our Queens Gutter Services Include:
- New seamless gutter installation
- Gutter repair and re-pitching
- Gutter guard and leaf filter installation
- Downspout extension and re-routing
- Gutter cleaning, flushing, and seasonal maintenance
- Full gutter cleaning and flushing
- Fascia and soffit repair
Seamless gutters custom-fabricated on-site are far superior to sectional gutters because they have no joints where leaks typically start. We install them in aluminum, copper, and galvanized steel, depending on your home’s style and your budget.
We serve gutter installation and repair customers across Astoria, Flushing, Jamaica, Long Island City, Woodside, Ridgewood, Sunnyside, and every corner of Queens.

Siding is your home’s skin. When it’s in bad shape, your whole property looks bad, and worse, it lets moisture infiltrate the structure of your home, leading to rot, mold, and expensive internal damage.
Siding installation in Queens, NY is one of our most in-demand services, particularly in older neighborhoods where original wood or aluminum siding is finally reaching the end of its life. We install and repair:
Our Queens Siding Services Include:
- Vinyl siding installation (most popular and cost-effective)
- Fiber cement siding (James Hardie® preferred installer)
- Wood and composite siding
- Stucco repair and installation
- Cedar shake and shingle siding
- Siding replacement and full re-siding
- Facade restoration for brick and mixed-material homes
Fiber cement siding, in particular, is exceptional for Queens homes. It’s resistant to moisture, fire, pests, and the freeze-thaw cycles that are hard on standard materials during New York winters. It also holds paint beautifully, giving your home a fresh, lasting appearance.
We work in Bayside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, Rego Park, Middle Village, Glendale, and across all of Queens.

You might not use your fireplace every day, but your chimney still does a job year-round. It vents gases, exhausts water heater flue, and is exposed to everything Queens weather throws at it 365 days a year. Neglected chimneys in older Queens homes are one of the most common sources of structural water damage.
According to Wikipedia, brownstone and brick structures throughout Queens neighborhoods — including Long Island City, Ridgewood, Astoria, and Woodhaven — are particularly susceptible to masonry deterioration because the stone and mortar used in original construction were not designed for indefinite exposure without maintenance. Brownstone material, noted for being unusually easy to quarry and carve, is also susceptible to weathering and damage over time.
Our Queens Chimney Services Include:
- Chimney inspection and camera assessment
- Tuckpointing and brick re-pointing
- Chimney cap installation and replacement
- Crown repair and waterproofing
- Flashing repair and replacement
- Chimney rebuild (full or partial)
- Chimney liner installation
- Chimney cleaning and sweeping
If you’re seeing white staining (efflorescence) on your chimney, crumbling mortar joints, or water stains inside your home near the fireplace — those are not cosmetic issues. They’re early warnings of structural failure.
We provide chimney repair services in Astoria, Forest Hills, Jamaica, Flushing, Bayside, Ridgewood, Rego Park, Sunnyside, and all nearby Queens neighborhoods.

A well-built deck doesn’t just add usable outdoor space — it adds real resale value to your Queens home. For homeowners in neighborhoods with private yards like Bayside, Howard Beach, Fresh Meadows, or Jamaica Estates, a custom deck is one of the highest-return outdoor improvements you can make.
Whether you want a simple pressure-treated platform or a multi-level composite deck with railings, lighting, and built-in seating, we design and build it to NYC code — with the proper permits from the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB).
Our Queens Deck Services Include:
- Custom deck design and build
- Pressure-treated wood decks
- Composite decking (Trex®, TimberTech®, Azek®)
- PVC and low-maintenance decking systems
- Deck repair and board replacement
- Railing installation (wood, aluminum, cable)
- Deck staining, sealing, and restoration
- Pergola and shade structure construction
- NYC DOB permit filing and inspections
A rotting, splintering old deck is a liability. A new professionally-built deck is a place where your family actually wants to spend time. We do both ends of that spectrum rescuing neglected decks and building dream outdoor spaces from scratch.

NYC DOT Sidewalk Violations in Queens - We Handle Those Too
If you’ve received a NYC DOT sidewalk violation, don’t panic but don’t ignore it either. According to NYC’s official Street Works Manual, property owners have 75 days to complete repairs after receiving a Notice of Violation. If repairs aren’t made within that window, the City can make the repairs itself and bill the property owner often at a significantly higher cost.
Under NYC Administrative Code § 7-210, all property owners (with certain exceptions for 1-3 family homes) are legally responsible for maintaining the sidewalk adjacent to their property. Violations are issued for cracked flags, uneven slabs, patchwork repairs, elevation changes of half an inch or more, and non-DOT-compliant materials.
