Where do you work?

Our clients include private owners, public agencies, schools, healthcare facilities, commercial or industrial properties, general contractors, construction management firms, and more.

Can you work on public projects?

Yes. We're experienced in public agency work and hold all required registrations and qualifications, including NYS Vendor Responsibility (VendRep/Vendex), PASSPort registration, prevailing wage experience, and union/PLA project experience.

Do you work on landmarked or historic buildings?

Yes. We regularly perform asbestos, lead, mold, demolition, insulation, and fireproofing work on landmarked and historic structures, coordinating with project teams to meet all applicable requirements.

Do you work in occupied buildings?

Yes. We routinely work in occupied residential buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, commercial offices, and government and industrial facilities. We plan containment, scheduling, and safety procedures to keep disruption to a minimum.

Filing & Regulatory Services

Do you assist with asbestos filings?

Yes. Our in-house filing department handles asbestos filings and compliance with NYC DEP, NYS Department of Labor, and the U.S. EPA — from project start through final closeout.

Do you assist with 1-22 Variance filings?

Yes. We help owners, consultants, contractors, and project teams prepare and submit asbestos variances, including 1-22B and procedural variances.

What is a 1-22B Variance?

It's a variance commonly used when asbestos abatement has to be coordinated with Department of Buildings (DOB) permits and a phased construction schedule. These are often required on large renovation, rehabilitation, and occupied-building projects where asbestos work ties into a phased plan.

What is a Procedural Variance?

It's a variance that may be needed when site-specific conditions call for an alternative filing or compliance approach under DEP rules. Requirements vary by project and depend on the scope of work and site conditions.

Do I need a variance for my project?

Not every project needs one. Our filing department can review your asbestos survey, scope of work, and construction schedule to tell you whether a variance is likely required.

Can you handle emergency or expedited filings?

Yes. Depending on the circumstances, we can assist with emergency filings and expedited submissions where permitted.

Can you handle project closeout?

Yes. Our filing department handles closeout documentation and regulatory requirements once abatement is complete.

What do you need to start an asbestos filing?

Typically: an asbestos survey, project address, scope of work, drawings (if any), schedule, ownership information, and permit information (if applicable). Some projects need additional documents.

Asbestos Abatement

What asbestos-containing materials (ACM) do you remove?

We abate ACM in residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and government buildings — both interior and exterior. Common examples include mechanical, pipe, boiler, HVAC, and duct insulation; thermal system insulation (TSI); floor tile and mastics; roofing; exterior caulking; fireproofing; wall, ceiling, and plaster systems; and other materials identified in an asbestos survey.

Can asbestos be removed in occupied buildings?

Yes. Many of our abatement projects are completed in occupied buildings using regulated containment, engineering controls, and third-party monitoring.

Do you prepare ACP-5 reports or perform asbestos surveys or testing?

No. As an abatement contractor, we don't perform ACP-5 reports, surveys, investigations, or testing. To keep regulatory independence, those must be done by a licensed asbestos investigator or environmental consultant. We coordinate with your consultant once the survey is complete.

Do you perform air monitoring?

No. Air monitoring, air sampling, and project monitoring must be done by an independent third-party consultant. We coordinate with them throughout the project.

Lead Abatement

Do you perform lead abatement?

Yes. We handle lead abatement and lead-based paint remediation — interior and exterior — on residential, commercial, institutional, and public-sector projects.

Do you perform lead testing?

No. Lead inspections and testing must be done by qualified third-party inspectors or consultants.

Mold Remediation

Do you perform mold remediation?

Yes. We provide mold remediation for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities, following all applicable regulations and industry standards.

Do you perform mold testing?

No. Mold assessments and testing should be done by an independent consultant or mold assessor.

Mechanical Insulation

What insulation work do you perform?

We specialize in mechanical insulation systems: pipe, HVAC, duct, boiler, and thermal system insulation.

Do you perform fireproofing?

Yes. We provide fireproofing for commercial, industrial, institutional, and public-sector projects.

Do you install spray foam or batt insulation?

No. We don't install spray foam, fiberglass batt, cellulose, or residential attic insulation. Our insulation division focuses on mechanical systems.

Demolition & Specialty Services

Do you perform interior demolition?

Yes. We provide selective interior demolition as part of renovation, rehabilitation, and environmental remediation projects.

Can you do demolition & asbestos abatement under one contract?

Yes. Depending on the project, we can provide coordinated remediation and demolition services together.

Getting Started

How do I request a proposal?

Send us your project address, scope of work, environmental reports (if available), drawings or plans, project schedule, and bid documents (if applicable). We'll review everything and follow up on next steps.
