What Platinum does

Platinum Inc. is a privately held specialty maintenance and restoration contractor founded in 1997 by James Halpin and headquartered in Lower Manhattan. The company delivers five core service lines — Metal, Stone, Wood, Terrazzo & Resinous Flooring, and Facade Restoration — to commercial buildings, with the stated footprint covering more than 50% of Class A office buildings in Manhattan and the NYC Metro area. Project credentials include the Seagram Building, Woolworth Building, 3 World Trade Center, NY Public Library, Grand Central Terminal East Side Access, and multiple Brookfield, Silverstein, RFR, and Related Properties assets, alongside healthcare work for NYU Langone and Mount Sinai.

The underlying service technology combines specialized trade craftsmanship (metal refinishing, terrazzo casting with marble/quartz/granite/glass aggregates, stone honing, facade brick-pointing and Local Law 11 compliance) with a recently added AI-driven robotics layer through the Skyline Robotics Ozmo partnership for automated window cleaning. Workforce capabilities are anchored in affiliations with four trade unions (Metal Polishers Local 8A-28A, Painters DC 9, Tile/Marble/Terrazzo Local 7, Bricklayers Local 1) and an EMR of 0.90 maintained since inception.

Commercially, Platinum operates a hybrid B2B model: multi-year contracted maintenance programs with property owners/managers provide recurring revenue, while larger project-based facade restoration, terrazzo installation, and historic preservation work is delivered via negotiated bids. Geographic coverage spans NYC, DC Metro (Platinum DC, established 2007), San Francisco, Chicago, and Miami, with the Platinum/CSS joint venture extending into janitorial and MWBE-eligible facility services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by active memberships in BOMA, REBNY, IFMA, and the U.S. Green Building Council. The company is founder/management-owned, with 251-500 employees and no disclosed external institutional investment.
