Scaffolding, sidewalk sheds & masonry for New York City. Since 2001.
We put up the shed, build the scaffold and repair the facade behind it, for building owners, property managers, general contractors and the city’s own schools.

One crew from the sidewalk to the parapet.
R&A Construction Services is a Brooklyn contractor that has worked on New York City sidewalks, facades and buildings for over two decades.
We own our scaffold frames, planking, sidewalk shed and fencing, and truck them from our yard to your site. The same company that protects the street does the masonry, concrete and carpentry above it. That means one schedule, one insurance certificate and one phone call.
We work as prime contractor for owners and managing agents, and as a certified subcontractor to general contractors on New York City School Construction Authority projects.

What we build
-
DOB-compliant sidewalk sheds, lit and fenced, for facade inspections, Local Law 11 repairs and new construction. Single storefronts to full-block frontages.
-
Frame and pipe scaffold for facades, towers, parapets and window work, with netting, planking and stair access, erected and maintained by our own crew.
-
Brick and block rebuilding, repointing, lintels, stoops and structural concrete, done by masons who have worked New York brick for decades.
-
Tear-down and rebuild of failing parapets and copings, with the roof protected under tarps until the last course is set.
-
Through-wall flashing, lintel replacement and facade repair that clears DOB violations and keeps water out of the wall.

Chain-link construction fencing and gates that secure an active site, set up to the general contractor’s logistics plan.
-
Demolition, framing, sheetrock, doors, stairs and finishes, from hallway renovations to full multi-family conversions.
