Calico Corners

✅ Calico Corners Emergency Restoration — Long Island & NYC

When disaster strikes, MJG Contracting Corp. responds with promptness, structural strategy, and uncompromising attention to safety. When a car crashed into the Calico Corners storefront—prompting a police response—we were called in immediately to manage an urgent stabilization and restoration effort in an occupied retail environment.

🛠 Emergency Restoration & Structural Stabilization

  • Immediate response under pressure: Following the vehicle impact, our team mobilized rapidly—shoring up the storefront and reinforcing the exterior wall to avert collapse, even before daylight.

  • Night-time and early morning logistics: Disaster calls often happen off hours. At Calico Corners, we assessed the damage at any time necessary to act rapidly and safely.

  • Reconstruction in an occupied space: After stabilizing the building structure, we rebuilt the exterior wall and installed new interior shelving and closets—while Calico’s store remained operational during regular hours.
