What Makes a Brooklyn Install Different
A dental build-out in a 1920s Brooklyn building is not the same job as one in a suburban medical park, and pretending otherwise is how quotes go wrong.
Prewar walls fight you
Plaster over lath, brick partitions, and steel where the drawings say wood. Fishing Cat6 through a 1920s Brooklyn building is not the same job as a suburban build-out, and anyone quoting you sight-unseen is guessing. We measure the runs in person before we put a number on paper.
Landmarked and mixed-use buildings
A lot of Brooklyn practices sit in the ground floor of a landmarked brownstone or a mixed-use building with a co-op board. That constrains exterior conduit, roof-mounted equipment, and sometimes even where the demarc can go. We plan around it instead of discovering it on install day.
Circuit availability varies block to block
Whether you can get fiber or are stuck on cable can change across a single street in Brooklyn. Worth checking before you sign a lease, not after — we'll look up what's actually serviceable at the address for you.
Older electrical service
A server, a compressor, and a pan unit on tired wiring is how you get mysterious reboots that get blamed on the computers for two years. We flag what needs an electrician before we rack anything.
Getting to you is not an all-day trip
Our shop is on Lincoln Place in Crown Heights. When something breaks mid-schedule, a Brooklyn practice gets us on-site the same day, and often within the hour — not a ticket in a queue at a company that dispatches from New Jersey.
