Storm Damage Restoration Great Kills

When a late-summer coastal storm shoves Raritan Bay straight up Buffalo Street, when 80 mph gusts snap masts at the yacht club and fling boats into front yards on Tennyson Drive, or when three inches of rain an hour turns every sump pump on Hillside Terrace into a fountain, Great Kills doesn’t wait for the bridge traffic to clear. It calls Zicklin Contracting. For over 37 years we’ve been the harbor’s own, pumping out split-levels on Giffords Lane, re-roofing colonials on Armstrong Avenue, rebuilding bulkheads along the water, and getting boats off lawns before the next high tide.

Our Step-by-Step Restoration Process

1

Immediate Emergency Response (within 2 hours)

Our Great Kills crews never leave the neighborhood during a storm. We roll in with pumps that move bay water faster than it came in, tarps, generators, flatboats, and skid-steers ready to drag a 30-foot Sea Ray off your lawn before the next tide.

2

Detailed Damage Assessment (same day or next morning)

We crawl every flooded garage on Nelson Avenue, measure bulkhead damage on the canal blocks, and drone every roof from Armstrong to Oceanview. Full flood elevation readings, photo packs, and NFIP-ready scopes delivered before the adjuster even finds parking.

3

Rapid Mitigation & Cleanup (first 48–72 hours)

Truck-mounted extractors empty finished basements in hours, desiccant units dry crawl spaces under raised decks, antimicrobial kills the bay-water stink, our tree crews clear the giant pines that always land on cars along Hillside Terrace and Greaves Lane, and we gut to the studs fast so the house can actually dry.

4

Professional Reconstruction

We pull emergency permits the day the water recedes. New elevated HVAC and furnaces, flood vents, breakaway garages where required, GAF roofs with hurricane straps, new bulkheads that actually hold, vinyl siding that shrugs off salt, rebuilt decks with stainless hardware — everything finished higher, stronger, and cleaner than the day you bought the house.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How do you get here when the roads are flooded?

We keep high-axle trucks and crews south of Hylan 24/7 during every storm.

+ Can you get my boat off my lawn the same day?

Done it more times than we can count — usually before the second high tide.

+ Will insurance pay to raise my furnace and HVAC?

Almost always — and we handle the ICC paperwork from day one.

+ Do you rebuild bulkheads and decks too?

That’s half our season down here — higher, stronger, and ready for whatever the bay throws next.
