Leaking balconies and terraces can damage ceilings below, corrode railings and weaken concrete over time. Homex Builders waterproofs balconies and terraces for condo owners, co-ops, landlords and homeowners across the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers, Long Island and New Jersey.
We remove failing coatings or tile where needed, repair the concrete or substrate, and install a waterproof membrane with correct slope, drainage and flashing at walls, doors and railings. We then finish with tile, pavers or a traffic coating for a durable, attractive surface.
What Our Balcony Waterproofing Includes
A balcony or terrace waterproofing project typically includes:
Surface Preparation
Removing failed coatings or tile and repairing cracked or spalled concrete.
Waterproof Membrane
Installing a liquid or sheet membrane with proper slope and drainage.
Flashing & Finish
Flashing at doors, walls and railings, then a tile, paver or traffic-coat finish.
Balcony leaks rarely fix themselves. Waterproofing early prevents damage to the units below and protects the structural concrete and railings.

Our Balcony Waterproofing Process
We keep every balcony waterproofing project organized, clean and clearly communicated, from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.
We visit the property, assess the conditions and give you a clear written estimate.
We prepare the surface, install the membrane and flash all edges and penetrations.
We clean the work area and review the finished work with you before we leave.
Why Choose Homex Builders
Frequently Asked Questions
Common causes include cracked concrete, failed membranes, poor slope that lets water pond, and missing or damaged flashing at doors and walls.
In most cases, the tile must be removed to repair the substrate and install a proper membrane. We reinstall new tile or pavers afterward.
Most balconies take a few days, depending on size, repairs needed and curing times.
Pricing depends on the size of the area, the condition of existing materials, access and the materials you choose. We provide a free on-site estimate with a clear scope and price before any work begins.
Balcony work on larger buildings may require DOB permits and is often connected to Local Law 11 façade inspections. We help identify requirements.
