Scaffolding
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a scaffolding company? I have someone I like who is going to replace the rear cornice on our bstone but he only hires one company and their estimate came in very high. He is open to me shopping around. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

they're all about the same... you can look in the yellowpages under scaffolding

It's worth looking hard - sorry I don't have a name but I know you can find a range of prices.

I used Everest Scaffold in the Bronx. I live on a corner and had to get permits. They offered the best price I could find. I would think you could get someone for less if its in the yard. I would ask people who brownstone. They seem to install it themselves.

Spring and Metropolitan are two of the big guys...

@mamaday - I actually just had the same job estimated these past few days for a rear cornice replacement. I would love to talk to you about what I found and maybe exchange information about contractors and pricing. Please e-mail me privately if you would like to exchange info. kraizekaninemc at yahoo

You do not need DOB approved scaffolding for certain wall under 40 feet. Most reputable contactors will install their own scaffolding saving you 4-5 thousand dollars.
