I cannot praise Zicklin Contractors highly enough. I had to handle some home repairs from abroad before selling a flat in NY, and Raja and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with swift with comms, professional and thorough in their report, and direct in managing expectations on the overall project. Thank you lots, Zicklin!
Daisy de Plume
We had a great experience with Zicklin. We required brickpointing, repair and waterproofing of a portion of our home, and concrete repair around our house. They were able to start in a timely matter. They constantly checked in with us regarding the quality of their work. They made sure that everything requested was completed. The workmen were respectful of the property.

I am so happy we went with Zicklin Construction to complete our renovations! They not only helped us to make our home more beautiful and accessible by way of repairing water-damaged walls, updating one of our bathrooms, and building a rampâ, but they also did so while providing unmatched customer service and consistent consideration for my sick grandmother and her space.

Had a great experience working with Zicklin Contracting to waterproof our roof deck and fix some leaks on our apartment’s exterior walls and brick pointing on my entire building. Our building, MGMT, also uses Zicklin for a variety of projects. They’re reliable, give fair prices and do great work.
Ashley Palucci
Great communication throughout the project, which is already better than other contractors I’ve worked with. The work is good and efficient, and I am getting what I’m paying for, so overall, I am happy about the outcome.

Understanding the NYSECCC
The NYSECCC is a comprehensive set of regulations for residential and commercial construction that dictates the minimum energy efficiency standards for new construction, additions and renovations in the state of New York. This code, developed and updated annually by the New York State Department of State, keeps the built environment at the forefront of sustainable design and construction.
Our expert team stays ahead of annual updates and amendments, transforming complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable strategies for your projects.
Key Compliance Areas We Support
-
Insulation and Fenestration:
NYSECCC specifies minimum R-values for wall, roof, and floor insulation, maximum U-factors, and Solar Heat Gain Coefficients (SHGC) for windows, doors, and skylights. Complying with these standards is critical for thermal efficiency and minimizing energy consumption. -
Mechanical Equipment:
HVAC systems must meet certain efficiency standards, such as a minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF). We size and install these systems correctly to provide the best possible energy efficiency. -
Lighting and Electric:
The code requires the installation of energy-efficient light fixtures and controls, including LED lighting and occupancy sensors. We also follow other electrical systems requirements, such as the efficiencies of the transformers and motors. -
4Renewable Energy:
The NYSECCC advocates using renewable energy such as solar photovoltaic panels to offset a building’s energy use. Our contractors understand the code’s provisions on renewable energy system installation and its effects on energy compliance. -
Reporting and Compliance:
Our contractors maintain detailed records and produce required certifications to prove compliance with the NYSECCC. This includes providing plans, energy estimates and performance tests to the building department in your area for review and approval.
