NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trice Contracting Inc. kicked off an exciting new chapter in its service offerings with the launch of its Concrete and Sheet Metal Work Services - an event that brought together industry professionals, community members, and local businesses across three of New York City's most iconic boroughs: The Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island, Westchester and Brooklyn.

The launch event, aptly named "Strengthening NYC's Foundations, One Roof at a Time," showcased Trice's commitment to providing innovative and durable concrete and sheet metal solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. With over a decade of experience in the roofing industry, Trice's expansion into these specialized services is designed to meet the growing needs of the diverse and evolving New York City landscape.

The Event Kick-Off:

The day began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held at Trice Contracting's Bronx location, an area known for its strong, resilient community spirit. Mohammed Rafiq Trice, the founder and CEO of Trice Contracting, addressed the crowd with a heartfelt message:

"New York City is our home, and as we continue to grow, we're excited to be able to offer more services that truly make a difference. Concrete and sheet metal work are critical components in the construction and maintenance of buildings here. Whether it's a brand-new foundation, a roof repair, or a custom architectural piece, we're here to strengthen your building from the ground up."

The event attracted a range of attendees, from local business owners to neighborhood leaders, and even residents interested in how these services could improve their properties.

Event Highlights:

1. Live Concrete Pour and Sheet Metal Work Demos:
One of the most anticipated features of the day was the live demonstration of concrete pouring and sheet metal fabrication. At each of the event locations - Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn - Trice's expert crews showcased their craft.

• • Bronx: The crew demonstrated concrete foundations for a multi-story residential building, explaining the various techniques used for durable and sustainable construction. Attendees were able to see how advanced reinforcement methods prevent cracking and ensure longevity.
  • Queens: The focus was on sheet metal roofing and custom metal work. From intricate designs for storefronts to durable metal cladding for buildings, Trice's sheet metal specialists presented how metalwork not only enhances aesthetics but also provides unparalleled protection against New York's extreme weather conditions.
  • Brooklyn: A mock-up of a mixed-use commercial building featured both concrete and sheet metal elements, allowing participants to see how both materials work in harmony to create strong, attractive structures.

"Watching the pros in action was amazing," said Rivera, a property manager from Queens. "I had no idea how precise the process is—everything from the way concrete sets to the skill needed to mold sheet metal. It's all part of building something that will last."

2. Roofing and Structural Consultations:
At each venue, attendees had the opportunity to take part in free consultations where experts assessed local buildings, reviewed structural concerns, and discussed future upgrades for their homes or businesses. Property owners from all over NYC came to get advice on how to enhance the safety and energy efficiency of their buildings with Trice's new services.

Luis, a business owner in Brooklyn, remarked, "I've always known how important a solid foundation is for a building, but I never thought about how concrete and metal could work together to make my business space safer and more energy-efficient."

3. Sustainability Focus:
With New York City's increasing push towards sustainability, the event also highlighted Trice Contracting's dedication to green building practices. Attendees learned about eco-friendly concrete options, such as low-carbon mixes, and sustainable sheet metal choices that reduce environmental impact. Trice's experts discussed how they are integrating energy-efficient materials and techniques to not only meet regulatory standards but exceed them.

"Sustainability isn't just a trend; it's the future," said Luis Giovanni, head of customer relations at Trice. "We believe in building responsibly, ensuring that every project we take on is energy-efficient, durable, and capable of withstanding the test of time, especially in a city as demanding as New York."

4. Networking with Local Vendors & Special Guests:
The event was more than just an opportunity to learn about concrete and sheet metal - it was also a chance to connect with local vendors, architects, and contractors. Small business owners from across the city networked with Trice's team to explore potential partnerships, while guest speakers from New York's architectural community gave talks on the importance of structural integrity and innovative building materials.

Luis, a civil engineer from Queens, expressed, "Being able to meet with other professionals in the industry and talk about the latest trends in concrete and metalwork is invaluable. Events like these elevate the standards for all of us."

5. Community Impact and Local Partnerships:
One of the most powerful moments of the day came when Trice Contracting announced a partnership with several local charities to help provide free roofing and structural repairs to families in need. As part of their mission to give back, Trice also pledged to donate a portion of the day's proceeds to community-building projects in the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn.

"This city helped us grow, and it's important that we do our part to support the communities that have supported us," said Mohammed Rafiq Trice. "Our expansion into concrete and sheet metal work allows us to address a broader range of needs, but we'll always stay rooted in giving back to the neighborhoods we serve."

6. Raffle and Prizes:
To cap off the event, Trice hosted a raffle where attendees had the chance to win free concrete work, custom sheet metal pieces, or roof inspections. The grand prize, a complete concrete foundation inspection for a Brooklyn brownstone, was awarded to T.A, a local resident who was thrilled to receive a detailed evaluation of her home's structure.

Closing Remarks:

The event wrapped up with a community celebration in Brooklyn, where local food vendors, artists, and musicians came together to showcase the best of what these vibrant neighborhoods have to offer. It was a fitting end to a day dedicated to not just building structures - but to strengthening the bonds within New York's communities.

Mohammed Rafig Trice closed the event with a final message of thanks: "We're not just in the business of building—we're in the business of building trust. And with every concrete slab poured and every sheet of metal shaped, we're building a stronger, more resilient New York."

The Concrete and Sheet Metal Services Launch in the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, New York, Staten Island, and Westchester was a resounding success, leaving residents and businesses with a renewed sense of confidence in Trice Contracting's ability to meet the evolving needs of the city. It was a day that celebrated craftsmanship, community, and the promise of durable, sustainable structures for New York's future.
