Construction is an essential service in NYS and NYC



Governor Cuomo has released Executive Orders imposing rules requiring 100% of all non-essential personnel to telecommute / work from home. This does NOT include the façade restoration industry as Governor Cuomo has designated construction to be an Essential industry at this time. However, please note it is expected that we all do our part and abide by rules related social distancing and limiting physical interactions to combat the spread of COVID19. This is vital and we hope you will do all you can to limit personal interactions and maintain proper distance.
