Merrick is right next door to our office at 108 W Merrick Rd in Freeport. Family-owned since 1995, we respond 24/7 to water and fire damage and handle remodels and rebuilds across Merrick and North Merrick.
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 sits a short drive west along Merrick Road in Freeport, so Merrick homeowners get a local crew for emergencies, repairs and planned renovations.
From the canal blocks of South Merrick to the streets around the Merrick LIRR station and up into North Merrick, we handle water and fire damage, storm repairs, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, roofs, siding and dormers.
South Merrick backs onto canals that open to the bay. During Superstorm Sandy in 2012, much of Merrick south of Merrick Road flooded, and many residents there were still without power a week after the storm while their homes sat wet.
North of Merrick Road the problems are usually different: burst pipes, failed water heaters, roof leaks and basement water after heavy rain. We see both, and we treat every wet home the same way, by drying it fast and checking what is hidden behind the walls.
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.
Merrick and North Merrick are unincorporated hamlets, so building permits come from the Town of Hempstead Department of Buildings. We file the permits our work requires and schedule the Town inspections.
Whether it is a burst pipe in the middle of the night or a kitchen you have been planning for years, every Merrick job follows the same clear steps.

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.
Yes. Waterfront homes take on water differently than inland houses, from storm surge to high groundwater. We have restored and rebuilt South Shore homes since Superstorm Sandy and know what to look for.
