NYC Roof Deck Design Services

Amber specializes in all types of deck design, including rooftop decks and decks for yards. She is a specialist in deck garden design and landscaping of surrounding areas, so you can be confident that your deck will be more than just some boards. Amber is committed to designing and creating outdoor decks that are modern, luxurious, and functional.

A new deck can transform a rooftop into a communal area or a place to entertain and feel like an extension of your property. It’s also a place where you can relax and escape the chaos of New York City. Amber will design decks that include natural elements like planters, plants, and garden boxes, as well as functional features like furniture and even outdoor kitchens.

When you want to design a roof deck, Amber will first meet with you for an onsite consultation to get to know you and evaluate the room for the deck. She will listen to your vision and goals as well as consider your style and preferences. After that, she can begin designing your deck and the surrounding outdoor spaces.

Whether you want to build an entirely new deck or upgrade an existing one, Amber will work to come up with a design that meets all your specifications. The end goal is to create a beautiful, functional deck that is an extension of your indoor living areas. As an urban garden specialist, Amber always strives to include lots of green to allow you to take a breath of fresh air and connect with nature.

After you’ve agreed upon a design for your new deck space, Amber’s work doesn’t stop. Her team of general contractors, landscapers, and gardeners can construct and install all parts of the deck. Whether the deck is part of a larger landscaping project or just the deck itself, Amber and her team will be there to take care of all parts of the process. If you need to submit design plan drawings to a board for approval, she can also provide those.

When building a rooftop deck in New York City, our contractor team will handle obtaining the permits required before starting construction to ensure compliance with all local regulations. Here are some of the key required permits:

• Building permit. This permit covers any construction work, including the installation of a rooftop deck. It ensures the deck complies with the NYC Building Code.
• Electrical permit. Some electrical components on your rooftop deck, such as electrical outlets or high-voltage fixtures, may require an electrical permit. Most landscaping, however, doesn’t require one.
• Fire appliances permit. If you plan on installing a gas-fired grill or other combustible appliances on your rooftop deck, the contractor may need to apply for a permit.

In addition, some rooftop decks in NYC are subject to specific load requirements, which dictate the maximum weight the deck can support. We will be sure to address any necessary permits, regulations, or other necessary requirements before getting started.

When you choose to work with Amber Freda and our expert team, you can take advantage of partnering with one of New York City’s leading contractors for landscape design, gardening services, and more. 

Our experience working in the city and familiarity with New York’s regulations and permitting process allow you to focus on the project itself—not whether it can be done. Count on our team to design and build your rooftop deck to meet the necessary load requirements. By hiring a reputable deck contractor like Amber Freda, who adheres to regulatory compliance, you can rest assured that your rooftop deck is built to last and meets the necessary safety and functional requirements.

Installing or renovating a rooftop deck can be a game-changer for both residential and commercial rooftops. Whether it’s an outdoor kitchen, a lush and vibrant garden space, or a designated spot to entertain, there are many benefits of rooftop decks, such as:

• Increased usable space. You gain a valuable extension of your indoor living or working space, perfect for entertaining, relaxation, or boosted productivity.
• Environmental benefits. A rooftop deck can provide a natural habitat for plants and wildlife, reducing the urban heat island effect and improving air quality.
• Energy efficiency. Designs can incorporate solar panels, green roofs, or other energy-efficient features, reducing your energy consumption and carbon footprint.
• Increased property value. A well-designed and maintained rooftop deck can increase the value of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers or renters.

With these possibilities in mind, you’ll never look at your rooftop space the same again.
