Why Zicklin Contracting for Emergency Parapet Repair?

Not Restored — Secured

Emergency parapet work isn’t restoration. It’s containment. It's prevention. It's knowing when something looks stable but isn’t. Zicklin crews move fast, but not loose. The goal: get the structure safe before the street below becomes a liability zone.

Calls Answered by People, Not Scripts

You won’t be explaining your situation twice. Or three times. No hold loops. No bots. A direct line to someone who knows what needs to happen next — and who’s already alerting the crew before you hang up.

Recognized, Not Advertised

Zicklin isn’t built on ads. It’s built on compliance history, DOB familiarity, and scaffolded trust. In a city where unpermitted fixes lead to shutdowns, we’re the company that already knows how to keep the file clean and the inspectors unbothered.

Insurance Coordination that Doesn’t Stall

We know the claims process. We also know how often it delays urgent work. So we parallel-track. While you handle forms, we’re already documenting the site, logging damage, and prepping reports your adjuster can’t dispute. The admin won’t block the action.

If your parapet is cracked, leaning outwards, or showing separation from the roofline, that’s not wear and tear — that’s structural failure waiting to happen. Don’t stand under it. Don’t ignore it. That kind of damage escalates.

Loose bricks? Spalling concrete? Chunks falling off? You’re already late. Those aren’t cosmetic problems — that’s the wall shedding pieces because it’s no longer holding itself together properly.

If the top coping is missing or dislodged, get it covered or stabilized. It’s the only thing keeping water out and pressure balanced. Without it, the whole thing starts breaking down from the top down — fast.

Vegetation growing out of the parapet? You’re not landscaping — you’re housing roots that pry open masonry. Get rid of it. Then check how deep the damage goes, because plants don’t grow on healthy walls.

And if temporary safety is even a question, block off the area below. Use caution tape, plywood, whatever it takes. One falling brick is enough to ruin a life and a lawsuit.

Take immediate action if the parapet shows signs of failure — delays in repair often lead to costly structural damage or serious safety risks.

Steps In Our Water Damage Restoration Process

How We Restore Your Parapet Wall — The Zicklin Way

Let’s say you’ve noticed the top of your building looking a little... off. Maybe bricks are flaking. Maybe something’s leaning where it shouldn’t be. Maybe your roof is taking on water, and you’ve traced the culprit to the parapet wall. This is where we come in. We don’t just show up with trowels and good intentions. Here’s how we actually handle it:

It starts with a phone call.

Not just to “book an appointment,” but to understand what’s really happening. Is it a structural problem? Is water getting in? Has the wall shifted or just started crumbling in spots? The better we understand the situation, the faster we can act—and in parapet repair, speed matters more than people realize.

Next: boots on the ground.

We don’t guess. We inspect. One of our specialists visits your building and checks everything from the parapet wall’s crown to its base. That includes testing for moisture infiltration, checking for bulging or leaning, assessing mortar erosion, and examining the flashing. We’re not here to patch—we’re here to solve.

Then comes the teardown.

Where needed, we remove all the weak links: damaged bricks, deteriorated mortar, corroded metal. No shortcuts. If it’s loose, it’s out. We clean the surface meticulously so nothing compromises the next steps.

If there’s instability, we stabilize.

Some walls just need reinforcement—anchors, ties, maybe a partial rebuild. Others need more serious structural attention. Either way, we’re equipped to bring things back into alignment, safely and efficiently.

Waterproofing isn’t optional—it’s the rule.

Once the wall is solid, we protect it. Flashing gets replaced or added, waterproof membranes go in, and any vulnerable junctions are sealed tight. The goal? Make sure the parapet never lets a drop through again.

Brick by brick, we bring it back.

Using historically accurate materials when needed—or more modern, durable ones when appropriate—we rebuild, repoint, and reconstruct the parapet wall so it matches the surrounding structure and holds strong. Our masons take this part personally.

We don’t just walk away.

Once construction wraps, we monitor everything. Equipment is checked. Moisture levels are tested. Our project managers revisit the site until we’re satisfied with every inch of work. You won’t need to ask—we’ll already be on it.

Clean finish, no trace left behind.

When all’s said and done, the space is cleaned, debris removed, and—if you’ve requested it—we’ll take care of other minor details like adjoining façade repair or cornice touch-ups. You’re left with a parapet that looks like it was never broken to begin with—and performs even better.

At Zicklin Contracting, we don't do guesswork. We do it right.

This isn’t just a job. It’s protecting your property, your tenants, and your peace of mind. From that first phone call to the final cleanup, your parapet is our responsibility.
