New York City's most prominent firm dedicated to the restoration and renewal of
facades, curtain walls, roofs, plazas, parking structures, and infrastructure

We work on more exterior restoration projects than any other firm in New York City

Since our founding in 1981, we’ve successfully completed thousands of restoration projects for the region’s most prestigious and demanding clients, including some of the most prominent and historically significant structures in the city.

In the interest of public safety, the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) has established three laws related to the inspection of facades, parking structures, and retaining walls within the five boroughs:

Local Law 126 of 2021 (Parking Structures)
This law mandates periodic assessment of all parking structures every six years to ensure they’re maintained in a safe condition. Learn more at NYCLocalLaw126.com

Local Law 11 of 1998 (Facades)
Also known as the Facade Inspection & Safety Program (FISP), this law addresses the condition of exterior walls of buildings taller than six stories. Learn more at LocalLaw11.com

Local Law 37 of 2008 (Retaining Walls)
Similar to FISP, retaining walls must be inspected and required maintenance performed every five years.

A Posh "Pandemic"
Clever of the British to give a posh name to a common problem: Regent Street Disease. But there’s no mask requirement in London’s West End—this disease affects buildings, not people. London’s prestigious Regent Street lends its name to a form of facade deterioration common to the neighborhood’s proliferation of 19th-century buildings.

Rainbow Connection
While conducting a test using a handheld, high-pressure spray nozzle to investigate water infiltration at a prominent condominium building in the South Street Seaport Historic District, we made our own mini rainbow! Non-destructive testing techniques like this (which we call leakage mapping) give us valuable information.
