Scaffolding and Sheds for Staten Island Buildings

What we put up in the Bronx

Staten Island is one of our five boroughs, full stop. Our crews come over from Brooklyn with the same services and the same setup they use everywhere else, and the people who build it are the ones who take it down.

Calls from the island tend to fall into two groups. Owners and managers with facade or exterior work on a building that’s already there, and contractors who need a site fenced and secured before the first truck shows up. Either way, we start with the address and what needs to happen there.

Where We Work on Staten Island

All of it, from the North Shore down to the South Shore. What we bring depends on the job. 

A construction site usually gets temporary fencing rental around the lot, with jersey barrier rental along the side that faces traffic. On a facade, flat walls take frame scaffolding, while a building with an odd shape gets pipe scaffolding built to fit it. If the work hangs over a public sidewalk, sidewalk shed installation keeps people covered underneath. 

DOT Embargoes on Staten Island Streets

As of November 2026.

DOT’s Holiday Construction Embargo runs every day from November 15, 2026, to January 2, 2027, 6 AM to 11:59 PM, and Staten Island gets its own list. The Borough Hall area is on it, inside Victory Boulevard, Wall Street, Richmond Terrace and St. Marks Place. 

Victory Boulevard is listed from the West Shore Expressway to Slosson Avenue, and Hylan Boulevard from Guyon Avenue to Steuben Street. Forest Avenue is covered from the Staten Island Expressway to Victory Boulevard, and Richmond Avenue from Victory Boulevard to Oakdale Street. 

In that window, routine street and sidewalk work under DOT permits at those locations needs sign-off from DOT’s Office of Construction Mitigation and Coordination. Emergency work needs a DOT emergency number. DOT’s full embargo list has the full set.

The island is also where the NYC Marathon starts, so the race brings temporary construction restrictions around the start area and the route toward the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. The 2026 restrictions ended on November 1.

The holiday list mostly follows the main commercial roads. A storefront on Hylan Boulevard or Forest Avenue is far more likely to be affected than a house on a side street. If your site is on a listed road, install before November 15 or push the start past January 2. We’ll check the address when you call.

Same Permits as Every Borough

Staten Island follows the same citywide requirements as the other boroughs. On the island, as everywhere, DOB permits the scaffold and shed work and DOT permits use of the street and sidewalk.

  • Since early 2026, sidewalk shed permits last 90 days at a time, unless the shed is tied to new-building, enlargement or demolition work. 
  • A supported scaffold more than 40 feet high needs a DOB permit before it goes up, and some shorter ones do too, depending on the type of scaffold and its load. 
  • Where chain-link fencing is allowed around a site is set citywide too. Our fencing page covers the chain-link fence rules.

One Team Across the Boroughs

Our Brooklyn team works in all five boroughs. On Staten Island, the team that fences your site or builds your scaffold and shed is the team that removes it. One call covers the whole job.
