Brookhaven issues its own building permits, and we pull them.
Brookhaven
Older homes
Brookhaven became a city after a referendum in July 2012, and it takes its name from Historic Brookhaven, the older neighborhood inside it. Much of the city's housing is mid-century brick ranches and cottages with modest roofs, masonry chimneys and, often, original decking under the second or third layer of shingles a previous owner put down.
On those houses, the common work is chimney flashing, leaks at old vent pipes, and full replacements that take the roof down to the deck so soft boards can be replaced and the ventilation can be fixed.
Infill homes
New infill
Where older houses have been torn down, Brookhaven has a lot of tall new infill homes with steep, cut-up roofs, metal accent roofs over porches and bays, and flat or low-slope sections over additions and garages. Those flat sections are the most common leak on newer infill, usually at the transitions to the steep roof and at parapet walls.
We repair and replace low-slope sections with membranes made for them, flash the transitions properly, and repair the metal accent roofs that infill homes use over porches.
Permits

Brookhaven runs its own permits and inspections, and full replacements and structural roof work need one. We pull it and schedule inspections as part of the job.
What we see on Brookhaven roofs
Brookhaven has issued its own permits since voters approved the city in 2012, and its roofs split cleanly by age. The mid-century ranches near Historic Brookhaven need chimney flashing, vent repairs and replacements down to the deck, while the newer infill homes leak at flat sections and roof-to-wall transitions. Both need a roofer who checks the whole roof, not just the stain.

FAQ
Brookhaven roofing questions
Yes. Brookhaven issues its own building permits, and a full replacement or structural roof work needs one. We pull it and schedule the inspections.
On infill homes, flat and low-slope sections usually leak where they meet a steep roof or a wall. Those transitions need proper flashing and a membrane made for low slopes. We repair or replace the section and flash the transitions.
We do not add a third layer. A full tear-off down to the deck lets us replace soft boards, fix the ventilation and give the new roof a sound base.
Yes. We repair leaks, loose panels and failed sealant on the metal accent roofs infill homes use over porches and bays, and replace them when they cannot be saved.
