What Kns Building Restoration Inc does

KNS Building Restoration Inc is a privately held, partner-owned specialty contractor founded in 1999 and headquartered in Middle Village, New York. The company delivers exterior building restoration services across three core service lines: facade restoration (including historic landmark preservation, brick and stone replacement, structural steel replacement, and waterproof coatings), roofing and waterproofing (IRMA, built-up, liquid-applied, and single-ply systems), and facade rainscreen installation (sub-framing, air/waterproofing membranes, custom cladding fabrication, and flashing detailing). It serves enterprise customers in the greater New York City and Tri-State area, with a 40+ logo client base that includes Tishman Speyer, Brookfield Properties, Columbia University, JLL, Skanska, and Thornton Tomasetti, alongside long-tenured architectural and consulting partners such as Oculus Consulting Group and MJM+A architects.

The underlying technical stack is craftsmanship-driven rather than software-driven: certified installation teams execute complex exterior envelope work, with differentiated capabilities in IRMA and built-up roofing durability, custom rainscreen cladding for energy efficiency, and historic landmark preservation tied to NYC-specific regulatory regimes such as Local Law 11 (FISP) facade inspections and the R33 energy code. Notable projects include a 130,000 sq ft roofing and waterproofing engagement at Willets Point Development (Citi Field) running through 2026, and a 100,000 sq ft total facade, cornice, and dome restoration of the Jarmulowsky Bank Building converted to the Nine Orchard Hotel over a 60-month period.

KNS operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with quote-based, scope-tailored pricing and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct outreach to building owners, property managers, developers, architectural firms, and general contractors in the NYC metropolitan area, supported by referrals, an SEO-optimized project portfolio website, and LinkedIn presence. The company is led by three partners (Anthony Ballato, Apostolos Malatos, Dimitrios Malatos) with hands-on executive oversight on every engagement, supplemented by a Chief Estimator (Anson Tang PE). No institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A, patents, or formal partnerships are disclosed.

Others

• Thornton Tomasetti: Global engineering firm with significant building envelope and structural restoration practice. Functions as both a KNS collaborator (referrer) and adjacent service provider on facade diagnostics, but is primarily an engineering consultancy rather than a contractor.

Direct peers

• Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates (WJE): National engineering and architecture firm specializing in building envelope investigation, restoration, and facade rehabilitation. Closely comparable to KNS on exterior restoration scopes and shares many of the same architectural/engineering clients in NYC.
• Pavarini McGovern: NYC-focused construction manager specializing in complex restoration, renovation, and new construction of landmark and high-end residential buildings. Directly comparable to KNS on historic envelope restoration and high-end residential scopes.
• Hunter Roberts Construction Group: NYC-based construction manager with deep expertise in new construction and major rehabilitation of commercial, institutional, and residential buildings. Competes directly with KNS on envelope-heavy scopes in the NYC market.
• Superstructures Engineering + Architecture: NYC-based structural engineering and architecture firm with a dedicated building exterior restoration practice including facade, roofing, and waterproofing work. Directly comparable to KNS on NYC envelope restoration projects and FISP compliance work.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM Tishman: Major NYC construction manager and general contractor with historic preservation and large-scale commercial work. Overlaps with KNS on landmark and high-rise restoration scopes but is not specialized to the envelope-only niche.
• Skanska USA: Global construction and development firm with major NYC commercial and civic projects. Overlaps with KNS on large-scale exterior scopes (and is itself listed as a KNS client/collaborator) but competes for many of the same developer-led restoration bids.
• Gilbane Building Company: National construction manager with strong NYC presence and growing restoration practice. Competes for similar institutional and developer-led restoration work but operates across many verticals beyond envelope restoration.
• Structure Tone: Large NYC-headquartered general contractor with significant exterior restoration and tenant improvement work. Competes with KNS on building envelope scopes at the GC level but operates at much larger scale across multiple building sectors.

Regional players

• Consigli Construction: Northeast US general contractor with a dedicated restoration and renovation division. Comparable on regional envelope restoration work but operates primarily outside NYC metro, serving Boston, DC, and Hartford markets.
