I want to recommend Gennaro Brooks-Church of EcoBrooklyn.com as a green roof builder. We bought a house with a roof done by him and have been very satisfied with the results. More homeowners should consider putting in a green roof, especially in light of the catch basin overflows in Park Slope. Green rooves cool houses down in summer, decrease the amount of water run-off that drains into the sewage system, and provide habitat for beneficial insects. They are also lovely to look at.

Solar power should be considered in tandem with green roofs.
