Ducky Recovery was proud to be among the select group of contractors entrusted with executing complex residential construction projects across the city’s five boroughs—particularly in flood-prone and working-class neighborhoods such as Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Rockaways. Ducky Recovery stepped in as a prime contractor from 2013 to 2018, managing over $45 million in CYOC (Choose Your Own Contractor)projects across New York.
Our team specialized in complex urban elevations, navigating dense neighborhoods, historic preservation requirements, and stringent coastal building codes. We elevated hundreds of homes, incorporating flood-resistant foundations and energy-efficient upgrades to meet FEMA and local standards.
Our work in NYC Build It Back helped restore not just homes—but also trust and stability—for families who had waited years to recover. It remains one of our most impactful contributions to urban disaster recovery.
