Building Restoration & Contracting Company in Staten Island

Ayat Contracting Inc. provides roofing, masonry, waterproofing, concrete, and sidewalk repair services to homeowners and property owners across Staten Island — from St. George and Stapleton to New Dorp, Great Kills, and Tottenville. Staten Island’s building stock skews lower and more residential than the rest of the city, so the most common work here looks different from what we do in the other boroughs: pitched roofing, foundation waterproofing, and sidewalk repair come up far more often than high-rise facade compliance.

Common Building Issues We See in Staten Island

Most Staten Island properties are one- and two-family homes, which means the six-story threshold that triggers Local Law 11/FISP inspections rarely applies here — the exceptions are the taller multifamily and mixed-use buildings concentrated around St. George and the north shore. For the borough’s residential housing stock, the recurring issues we see are pitched roof wear from age and storm exposure, foundation and basement waterproofing (Staten Island has more below-grade living space than most of the city), and sidewalk and driveway concrete repair, which is a common source of city violations on residential blocks.

Services We Provide in Staten Island

• Roofing — pitched roof repair and replacement for single- and two-family homes, plus flat roofing for the borough’s multifamily buildings. See our full roofing service page.

• Masonry & Brickwork — chimney, foundation, and exterior brick repair for residential properties
• Concrete & Sidewalk Repair — correcting sidewalk violations and repairing driveways and walkways
• Local Law 11 / FISP Inspection — for the borough’s taller multifamily buildings that do fall under the six-story threshold. See our full Local Law 11 service page.

Why Staten Island Homeowners Choose Ayat Contracting

We scope Staten Island jobs the way most of them actually need to be scoped — as residential roofing, waterproofing, or concrete work, not generic commercial facade packages. Every job includes a written estimate and realistic timeline before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my Staten Island home need a Local Law 11 inspection?

Only if it’s six stories or taller, which excludes the vast majority of Staten Island’s one- and two-family housing stock. It mainly applies to the borough’s taller multifamily buildings, concentrated around St. George and the north shore.

What causes basement water intrusion on Staten Island?

Grading, foundation cracks, and hydrostatic pressure from groundwater are the most common causes, and Staten Island’s higher share of below-grade living space makes this a more frequent issue here than in denser parts of the city.

How often does a pitched roof need replacing?

Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15-20 years depending on installation quality and storm exposure. We check flashing and penetration points during inspection since those usually fail before the shingles themselves do.
