DOB Filings & Violation Resolution

Installing code-compliant protection to address unsafe conditions and coordinating applicable filings and corrective work to address DOB violations related to our site work.

24/7 Emergency Dispatch

Our emergency line is monitored 24/7. Response and arrival times depend on location, site conditions and crew availability.

Operating Standards & Compliance

We maintain the applicable company credentials for our work, including our DCWP Home Improvement Contractor licence. We coordinate the relevant DOB filings for projects we undertake. We carry $2 million in general liability insurance coverage, with Certificates of Insurance (COI) issued upon contract execution.

Certified Installation Crews

Our crews receive relevant safety training for their assigned work, including applicable NYC Department of Buildings scaffold training requirements.
