Brooklyn Setback Roof Renovation — Project Overview

B&P Consulting Corp completed a specialized setback roof renovation project in Brooklyn. Setback roofs — the stepped-back sections common on Brooklyn's multi-story buildings — present unique waterproofing challenges that require expert attention. Our team delivered a comprehensive renovation that addressed drainage issues, membrane deterioration, and flashing failures on this complex roof geometry.

Scope of Work

This Brooklyn setback roof renovation project required a comprehensive approach to deliver lasting results. Our scope of work included:

• Thorough initial inspection and assessment of existing conditions
• Detailed survey of the setback roof geometry and drainage patterns
• Custom fabrication and installation of new flashing at all setback transitions
• Installation of tapered insulation to redirect water flow to new drain locations
• Installation of premium SOPREMA waterproofing and roofing products
• Complete flashing replacement at all critical junctions
• Final quality inspection and project documentation

Materials & Techniques Used

B&P Consulting Corp selected premium materials specifically suited for this Brooklyn project:

• SOPREMA modified bitumen membrane — High-performance, torch-applied roofing system for superior weather protection.
• Polyisocyanurate insulation — Tapered boards for optimal drainage and energy efficiency.
• SOPREMA ALSAN liquid flashing — Seamless waterproofing at penetrations and transitions.
• Custom-fabricated metal work — Precision-cut metal flashing and counterflashing designed specifically for the setback roof transitions.

Challenges & Solutions

Setback roof renovations are among the most technically demanding roofing projects. The multiple levels, transitions, and intersections create numerous potential leak points that must be carefully addressed. Our team used a combination of membrane roofing and liquid-applied waterproofing to create seamless protection at every transition point. The project also required careful coordination to protect the occupied spaces below the setback areas during construction.

Results & Client Benefits

The completed project delivered exceptional results:

• A completely renewed, leak-free setback roof renovation system with 20+ year expected lifespan
• Improved energy efficiency and reduced heating/cooling costs
• Enhanced property value and protection
• Full manufacturer warranty on all SOPREMA materials
• B&P Consulting workmanship warranty for additional peace of mind
