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.

Emergency Parapet Wall Repair & Stabilization FAQs
Zicklin Contracting offers a comprehensive range of masonry and construction services, including parapet wall repair and stabilization across NYC, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx. With more than two decades of industry experience, we specialize in both residential and commercial work—covering restorations, structural reinforcements, façade upgrades, and custom renovations.
You’ll know. Loose bricks, big cracks, bulging areas – those are red flags. If the wall starts leaning or shedding mortar like it’s snowing dust, don’t wait. Get it inspected. One strong wind and you could be dealing with falling debris or water leakage.
It can go from minor eyesore to structural hazard real fast. What looks like a crack might actually be moisture rotting the internal structure. And the last thing you want is part of your wall crashing onto the sidewalk (hello, liability lawsuit). So yes, it’s dangerous.
Mostly water. NYC weather doesn’t help either. Freeze-thaw cycles are brutal – water gets into tiny cracks, freezes, expands, and boom: wider cracks. Add years of neglected maintenance and you’ve got a recipe for failure.
Depends on the damage. Minor tuckpointing and sealing? A day or two. Major stabilization or full rebuild? Could take up to a week or more. But Zicklin Contracting moves fast – we don’t believe in stretching projects unnecessarily.
A structural parapet supports roof edge integrity and lateral load resistance, often tied directly into floor diaphragms or vertical framing. Ornamental parapets, on the other hand, provide façade symmetry or classical aesthetics but are not load-bearing. Identifying the type determines the stabilization approach.
Retrofitted aluminum or stainless coping caps are effective when correctly installed over solid masonry. However, they’re only long-term if the substrate is sound. Caps without proper waterproof underlayment or wall ties can trap moisture instead of deflecting it, causing accelerated hidden decay.
Yep, especially if the repair affects the structure or involves work at height. Zicklin Contracting handles all the paperwork. We know NYC DOB red tape inside out. You won’t have to deal with it at all.
It varies. Small jobs might be under $2,000. Bigger ones – especially if structural steel is involved – can go much higher. We offer transparent pricing, no shady surprises. Schedule an inspection and you’ll get a clear estimate.
Absolutely. Zicklin Contracting is fully licensed, insured, and certified for structural masonry work in New York City. We’ve handled everything from minor crack repairs to full parapet wall rebuilds on landmark properties.
At least once every few years – more often if your building is older or exposed to the elements. Don’t wait for a piece to fall before you act. Preventive maintenance is always cheaper than emergency repairs.
Depends on the original construction, but we match materials carefully – brick, stone, terra cotta, whatever your wall’s made of. We also use waterproof membranes and flashing to keep future damage out of the picture.
Yes, and we know how to play by LPC rules. Zicklin Contracting works with landmarked buildings all the time. We’ll match historical elements and take care of the permits so your building keeps its charm (and stays up to code).
We do. If something’s falling or about to fall, we can send a team quickly to secure the area and stabilize the wall. Don’t wait – even temporary bracing can prevent major accidents.
Easy. Call us or book online at zicklincontracting.com. We’ll send someone out to inspect your parapet, assess the risk, and give you a no-BS breakdown of what needs fixing and how soon.
