Surface protection in Manhattan.
Occupied towers, landmark lobbies and tight freight windows — Manhattan jobs leave no room for protection that fails halfway through.
The work in Manhattan.
Occupied high-rise
Most Manhattan work happens in buildings that never close. Tenants, staff and visitors keep moving through while the trades work around them.
Freight and phasing
Tight loading windows and shared freight elevators mean protection has to go down fast and stay put — not get re-laid every phase.
Premium and irreplaceable
Landmark lobbies, stone floors and finished metal where a refinish at closeout costs more than the protection ever would.
First Layer serves commercial towers, co-op and condo lobbies, institutional and landmark interiors throughout Manhattan — our crew comes to your site.
