Landmark Preservation
Top Hat has earned a stellar reputation for its work with Manhattan landmarked and historic buildings. Whether altering or updating infrastructure, installing state-of-the-art technology, or making improvements or repairs, we preserve the integrity and character of the building while following all legal requirements of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. Work includes:
Securing permits
Finding the exact replacement materials needed
Using a network of highly experienced, licensed contractors
Green Initiatives
Building owners gain not only environmental benefits by switching to a more energy efficient building, but there are also long-term financial benefits. Top Hat is a sustainable building specialist. We have deep expertise in a variety of green initiatives, including:
Installation and maintenance of solar panels
Installation of energy efficient windows
Landscape design
Tree plantings
Installation and maintenance of green roofs.
Several years ago I had to deal with Landmarks and it was a drawn out difficult process. The next time I needed work done on the front of my brownstone, I hired Top Hat to take care of the complicated Landmark approval process and to manage the subcontractors. I was so pleased with the outcome and the fact that everything was taken care of on my behalf.
