Philadelphia Green Roofs LLC is a complete resource for all your vegetated roof solutions.
Our trained crew has been building green roofs since 2009 and we have built and maintained more than three acres of green roofs.
We will build your green roof on schedule and on budget and work closely with PWD to move your project through the stormwater certification process.
While we have experience building every type of system, our preference is for built-in-place. It is more economical and more importantly, we can expect the life of the green roof to last 45 years or longer. Let us know if you would like to see any of our completed installations in person or speak with any of our clients.
We can also help you with the application for the Philadelphia Green Roof Tax Credit. Any business that pays the Business Income and Receipts Tax in Philadelphia that installs a green roof covering over 60% of the available roof area qualifies. This tax credit was doubled in 2015 to 50% of the cost of the green roof and the waterproofing membrane, up to $100,000 per building and the credit is given in the form of BIRT tax forgiveness.
We can help you through the stormwater certification process for PWD, and the application for the Philadelphia Green Roof Tax Credit. On July 1, 2015, this tax credit was doubled–to 50% of the cost of the green roof and the waterproofing layer, up to $100,000 per building, given in the form of BIRT tax forgiveness.
For developers, there is a density bonus allowed for covering 60% of your available roof with a green roof. More information can be found here: https://www.pwdplanreview.org/upload/pdf/Green_Roof_Density_Bonus_Factsheet_20160624.pdf
For larger green roof retrofit projects we can help you with your application for a SMIP grant. Both 2601 Parkway and Solo Realty/Indego Bikeshare were awarded SMIP grants monies.
