Through three generations, we've grown with New York-like the city itself, we're modern and innovative yet carry within us a deep respect and appreciation for the city's architectural history and traditions. Explore our site and discover the distinctions that have enabled us to maintain, restore, and renovate New York buildings since 1918.

High above the streets, balconies and terraces undergo significant damage over time, battered by extreme weather conditions and everyday use. New York buildings are in constant need of care, especially in regards to exterior waterproofing, a building aspect that is essential during months of rain and snow.
We know that a roof that is 99% waterproofed is not good enough-water will eventually find a way to infiltrate into the building. We've been performing roof repairs in New York City since 1918, and our combination of exceptional work and "double warranty" (manufacturer's plus Bellet's own) and our "renewable guarantees" coverage distinguishes us in the field.
If one were to look closely at the composition of the Manhattan skyline, one detail would quickly become clear: there are a lot of parapet walls. For building owners, the concerns are obvious: Are these walls water-tight and safe? Repairing parapet walls is a comprehensive and detailed process: repairing the underlying steel, replacing bricks and rusted lintels, and installing new waterproofing.
In New York City, one of the most common exterior construction projects is lintel repair and replacement. Sitting between the lintel and the bricks is a layer of waterproof membrane. Over time, as the outer bricks become saturated with water, the membrane becomes less effective, and water seeps through to the lintel.

I had to pay 50% of the project to get it started. For reasons that were largely out of their control, the project was delayed for approximately a year and they held my money. Once they started the project: Day 1-they couldn't get on to the job site and didn't tell me for 3 hours. Day 2-had one elderly man carrying one large piece of equipment at a time by himself through my office to the job site. Day 3- the crew went to the "wrong job" and didn't show up until 3pm. Day 4-they are "waiting for the delivery truck" and so are not here. Then the supervisor tells Bellet he is on the scaffolding when

Bellet did a big project on our leaking 20 unit building. Tried to charge us twice for repointing work he did once. When he removed scaffolding he broke the buildings glass awning. He first claimed it was broken before the work started and that the building super told him it was already broken. The building super hadn't done any such thing.
He managed to fix about 70% of the leaks.
The owner is very charismatic but is shady afterwords.

A high-end Manhattan real estate agent referred me to Bellet Construction for facade work on our historic townhouse since he is well-known in the preservation and downtown Manhattan community for his restoration work. Wayne was extremely knowledgeable, expert and always helpful and available when it came to our exterior work and also in general issues relating to permits, construction and landmark renovation in New York City, never easy or simple in this part of town. Wayne was truly a maven and always highly professional. We are very happy to recommend him.
