Flood Recovery Fencing After the 2006 Deluge

In the soggy aftermath of Schenectady’s 2006 flood, Union Street residents faced unstable ground, exposed utilities, and construction delays. Mud caked the sidewalks near the Mohawk River, and safety barriers were either washed away or never installed. With crews waiting to begin repairs and kids still walking to school nearby, the risk of accidents—and liability—was climbing by the hour. Matty Reyes knew temporary fencing wasn’t just helpful—it was urgent.

We rolled out galvanized steel panels along Union Street within 24 hours, anchoring them in compacted gravel to handle the soft soil. Our crew worked around downed branches and wet debris, installing OSHA-compliant fencing that kept pedestrians safe and gave contractors clear, secure work zones. Neighbors told us they finally felt at ease letting their kids walk to the corner store again. That job cemented our role in neighborhood recovery efforts.

Matty’s crew showed up when others were still assessing—now my block feels protected again.

Securing a Historic Renovation Without Disrupting Neighbors

A homeowner on Union Street was restoring a 1930s bungalow—one of the neighborhood’s early suburban builds—but open trenches and loose materials made the site a hazard. Dust blew toward porches, and curious kids from nearby homes kept wandering close to equipment. The homeowner worried about noise complaints and safety fines, especially with the Mohawk River trails just blocks away drawing foot traffic all day.

We installed powder-coated chain-link fencing with windscreen panels to cut dust and noise, setting posts deep enough to stay firm through spring thaw. Our crew timed noisy work for midday to avoid early mornings and evenings, and we added lockable access gates so deliveries wouldn’t pile up on the sidewalk. The renovation finished smoothly, and the neighbor across the street even thanked us for keeping things tidy and quiet.

They respected our street’s character while keeping the site locked down—exactly what we needed.
