In mid-2014, Beacon Merchant was retained by a leading Surety company to be the Completion Contractor for a multi-building roof replacement and asbestos abatement project in New York City. The contract involved the completion of roofing removal, asbestos abatement, roofing replacement, repairs, and related testing/instpection work for five separate high-rise buildings (ranging from 20 to 22 stories tall) located in the Bronx, NY.

Beacon Merchant's team successfully completed the project in 2016, with the completion of "Buildings 5 & 6" and warranties received from the roofing manufacturer (GAF) for all roofs installed.
Some of the specialized aspects of the project included:

- Ensuring the safe removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials (contained in old roofing removed)
- Moisture testing to ensure roof integrity and identify any areas of concern (Cut Test & IR Thermography)
- Installing multi-layer roof system properly
- Complying with all GAF requirements for warranty approval
- Properly Sealing / flashing all rooftop structures and parapets
The 5 buildings Beacon Merchant worked on are part of an 8-building public housing complex (Mott Haven Houses) managed by The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). The overall complex contains more than 990 apartments and approximately 2500 people live there.
