Local Knowledge
Many Manhattan buildings are six stories or taller, which puts them under the Façade Inspection Safety Program (FISP, formerly Local Law 11). We handle the repairs that come out of those inspections, from loose masonry and failed lintels to cracked parapets, and coordinate sidewalk sheds and DOB filings so your building stays compliant.
Pre-war brick buildings need careful repointing and color-matched mortar. Storefronts along busy avenues need fast, clean renovations with minimal downtime. Sidewalks in front of commercial properties need DOT-compliant repairs to clear violations. We do all of it, and we schedule around tenants and business hours.

I have to admit that United City Construction I selected for my construction surpassed my expectations!

FAQ
Cost depends on the scope. A façade repointing job and a full interior build-out are priced very differently. We visit the site and send a free, written, itemized quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work starts.
Smaller exterior repairs like brick pointing or caulking can take a few days to a couple of weeks. Full interior renovations or façade restoration tied to FISP / Local Law 11 usually take several weeks to a few months, depending on permits and building access.
Yes. We are registered with the NYC Department of Buildings (GC Registration #611442), fully insured, and certified as an NYC M/WBE. We provide proof of insurance before any crew steps on site.
We handle permit filing and DOB coordination as part of the project whenever the work requires it. You won’t need to deal with the Department of Buildings yourself.
Façade repair usually means a specific fix, like a cracked section or a failed sealant joint. Exterior restoration is broader: we assess the whole building envelope, often after a FISP inspection, and address everything that was flagged at once.
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship, and the specific warranty terms for your project are written into the quote, since coverage differs for masonry, roofing and waterproofing.
