Brooklyn Roof Replacement and Slate Roofing Restoration 102K
Army Construction LLC was contracted by the New York City School
Construction Authority to perform a complete roof restoration and structural
envelope rehabilitation at P.S. 102K in Brooklyn, New York.
The scope of work included replacement of the existing slate roof system with
new natural slate tiles, installation of new flashing and copper gutters,
