Family-owned since 1995, with our office at 108 W Merrick Rd in Freeport. When your home floods, burns or needs a rebuild, our local crew answers 24/7.
Gotham Builders of New York has been a family-owned contractor since 1995, more than 30 years, and holds Nassau County Home Improvement License #H18D7530000 and NYC License #0916825-DCA. Our office is the renovated two-story building at 108 W Merrick Rd in Freeport that once housed the Buccaneer Crab House, and it is home base for all of our work across the South Shore.
We handle emergency water and fire damage, storm repairs and full rebuilds, plus kitchens, bathrooms, basements, roofs, siding and dormers for homes across the Village, from the canal streets south of Merrick Road to the neighborhoods north of Sunrise Highway.
Freeport sits on the bay, and many streets south of Merrick Road and Atlantic Avenue back onto canals. During Superstorm Sandy in 2012, a storm surge of about 8 to 9 feet put much of southern Nassau under several feet of water, and Freeport was among the hardest hit communities. Strong coastal storms still push water into low-lying streets south of Atlantic Avenue.
After Sandy we helped Freeport families rebuild and raise their homes through the NY Rising program. That work taught us how water moves through South Shore houses, what has to come out after a flood, and how to rebuild so the next storm does less damage.
One local team handles the emergency, works with your insurance company and does the rebuild, so you deal with one contractor from the first call to the final walkthrough.

Yes. Water and fire damage get worse by the hour. Call (516) 377-0400 and we will send a crew to stop the damage and start drying or securing your home.
Usually not. Standard homeowners policies typically exclude flooding from storm surge or rising water, which is covered by a separate flood policy, such as one through the National Flood Insurance Program. A burst pipe is often covered by homeowners insurance. Check your policy, and we will work with whichever insurer is involved.
