About New Jersey Sidewalk Shed & Scaffolding

We install sidewalk sheds, scaffolding and site protection across New Jersey and New York, and we file the paperwork that goes with them.

New Jersey Sidewalk Shed & Scaffolding has operated since 2024. We are an OSHA-certified contractor carrying general liability insurance up to $2 million, and we work on both sides of the Hudson: the five boroughs of New York City, and the municipalities of northern New Jersey.

Most of our work begins the same way. A facade report, an inspector, or a violation notice tells a building owner they need overhead protection, and they have no idea what that involves: how long it takes, what it costs, or who is allowed to file it. We survey the site, tell you what the code actually requires, handle the filing, and put the structure up.

WHERE WE WORK

Every borough and every county runs its own permit office, its own inspector expectations, and its own filing quirks.

New York:

All five boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island. Governed by the NYC Department of Buildings. Filings follow DOB rules.

New Jersey:

Hudson and Essex County, Jersey City, Newark, Hoboken, Bayonne, and surrounding municipalities. Governed by the Uniform Construction Code, administered by the local construction office. Filings follow the local construction official, not a state DOB.

WHAT WE INSTALL

From street-level protection to full facade access, here’s what we build, rent, and maintain on site.

Supported scaffolding

pipe and frame systems, built to irregular geometry where modular frames will not fit

Suspended scaffolding

Jersey barriers

Temporary fencing

code-compliant construction site fencing, gates and viewing panels
