    Commercial Ductwork & Sheet Metal: Fabrication, Installation & Repair

    Custom sheet metal fabrication, code-compliant duct installation, and leak repair for commercial buildings across the NYC metro. Whether you're reconfiguring a floor for a new tenant, chasing down a noisy or leaking run, or rebalancing air across a portfolio, our SMACNA-standard duct teams keep conditioned air where it belongs, minimize tenant disruption, and protect your building's airflow and efficiency.

    Common Ductwork Problems We Solve

    Hot and cold zones / tenant comfort complaints

    Leaking joints, disconnected runs, crushed flex, or undersized duct starve some spaces of air while overshooting others. We pressure-check the system, seal or rebuild the failing sections, and right-size the run to restore even delivery.

    Audible duct rumble, popping, or 'oil-canning'

    Under-gauged or unbraced sheet metal flexes as static pressure changes, producing booming and ticking that travels into occupied space. We add reinforcement (cross-breaking, beading, standing seams, tie rods) or re-fabricate the panel to stop the noise at the source.

    Visible air leakage and high energy waste

    Open longitudinal seams, failed mastic, and loose slip-and-drive connections dump conditioned air into ceilings and shafts. We seal to a target SMACNA leakage class so the air you pay to condition actually reaches the space.

    Sweating ducts and ceiling moisture stains

    Missing or wet vapor-barrier insulation lets humid air condense on cold supply duct, staining tiles and risking mold. We strip and replace failed liner/wrap and re-establish a continuous vapor barrier.

    Rusted, crushed, or corroded duct sections

    Roof leaks, exhaust moisture, and physical damage from other trades degrade galvanized and exhaust duct over time. We cut out and re-fabricate the affected sections in the correct material, including stainless for corrosive exhaust streams.

    Restricted airflow after a space change

    Walls, new equipment, or sprinkler/lighting work get built across or into old duct routes, choking airflow. We re-survey the space and reroute or re-size the distribution to clear the obstruction and recover capacity.

    Ductwork & Sheet Metal Built for Commercial Buildings

    Ductwork is the circulatory system of your building's HVAC, and in commercial structures it rarely stays static. Tenant turnover, space reconfigurations, equipment swaps, and decades of pressure cycling all take their toll on supply, return, and exhaust runs. Com+ Mechanical fabricates, installs, and repairs commercial duct systems for office towers, retail, mixed-use, healthcare, schools, and industrial facilities throughout the five boroughs, Nassau, Westchester, northern New Jersey, and Stamford. We fabricate galvanized, aluminum, and stainless sheet metal to SMACNA gauge and pressure-class standards, build rectangular and round/spiral duct to fit your shaft and ceiling constraints, and seal, reinforce, or replace existing runs that leak, rumble, sweat, or fight your air balance. From a single congested mechanical room or a tight tenant fit-out to multi-floor distribution and rooftop tie-ins, our crews coordinate around occupied spaces, building access rules, and after-hours windows so the work gets done without shutting your building down.

    What Our Ductwork & Sheet Metal Service Includes

    Field measurement and shop drawings: site survey of existing runs, plus fabrication drawings sized to your shaft, plenum, and ceiling clearances
    Custom sheet metal fabrication in galvanized, aluminum, or stainless to SMACNA gauge and pressure-class specs (transitions, offsets, elbows, plenums, takeoffs)
    Rectangular, round, and spiral duct installation with proper hangers, supports, and seismic/lateral bracing where required
    Duct sealing to SMACNA leakage classes: mastic and UL 181 mastic-tape on joints, seams, and connections to cut conditioned-air loss
    Connection and reinforcement of leaking, sagging, or under-gauged runs, including TDC/TDF flanged joints and slip-and-drive connections
    Insulation and vapor-barrier repair or replacement on internally and externally lined duct to control condensation and heat gain/loss
    Reconfiguration for tenant fit-outs and equipment changes: rerouting supply/return, adding diffusers, dampers, and balancing devices
    Fire/smoke damper coordination, access door installation, and tie-ins to RTUs, AHUs, VAV boxes, and exhaust systems

    Why Proper Ductwork Pays Off

    Lower operating cost: tight, well-insulated duct stops conditioned air from leaking into shafts and plenums, easing the load on your RTUs, AHUs, and chillers
    Consistent tenant comfort: balanced, correctly sized distribution eliminates the hot/cold complaints that drive service calls and lease friction
    Quieter occupied space: properly gauged and braced sheet metal removes rumble and oil-canning that tenants notice and report
    Healthier indoor air: sealed, clean, intact duct limits dust, moisture, and contaminant pathways through the building
    Protected building assets: intact vapor barriers and drainage prevent condensation damage to ceilings, finishes, and equipment
    Faster, cleaner tenant turnover: shop-fabricated, made-to-fit duct installs predictably so fit-outs and reconfigurations stay on schedule

    Our Simple Process

    From call to comfort in 4 easy steps

    1

    Site Survey & Assessment

    We walk the system, field-measure existing runs, check static pressure and obvious leakage points, and review your shaft, ceiling, and access constraints to define exactly what's needed.

    2

    Shop Drawings & Custom Fabrication

    We produce fabrication drawings and build the sheet metal in-shop to SMACNA gauge and pressure class, so pieces arrive made-to-fit and on-site cutting and disruption are minimized.

    3

    Installation & Sealing

    Crews install, hang, and brace the duct, then seal joints and seams to your target leakage class, coordinating around occupancy, building access rules, and after-hours windows.

    4

    Testing, Balancing & Walkthrough

    We verify airflow, check for leaks, confirm dampers and access doors function, and walk the completed work with your team along with documentation for your records.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Get answers to common questions about our services

    Can you do ductwork without shutting down our building or disrupting tenants?

    Yes. Most commercial duct work can be staged and sectioned so conditioned spaces stay online, and we routinely fabricate off-site and install during evenings or weekends to minimize impact. We coordinate with your building engineer on access, freight-elevator and loading-dock scheduling, and dust containment so daily operations keep running.

    Do you offer emergency or fast-response duct repair?

    Yes. Disconnected runs, collapsed duct, or a major leak after another trade's work can be addressed on a priority basis, and we offer 24/7 response for urgent situations. Call (332) 600-4640 to dispatch a crew.

    Can you manage ductwork across multiple buildings in our portfolio?

    Absolutely. We work with property managers and facility teams managing multi-building portfolios across the NYC metro, standardizing fabrication specs, sealing classes, and documentation so the work is consistent from site to site and easier to budget and track.

    How does ductwork affect energy use and Local Law 97 compliance?

    Leaky, poorly insulated duct forces your heating and cooling equipment to run longer to overcome losses, which raises energy use and, in turn, the carbon emissions that Local Law 97 measures for covered NYC buildings. Sealing duct to a tighter SMACNA leakage class and restoring vapor barriers reduces wasted conditioned air, helping your HVAC operate closer to its rated efficiency.

    What materials and standards do you fabricate to?

    We fabricate in galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless depending on the application (stainless for corrosive or high-moisture exhaust, for example), and we build to SMACNA gauge, reinforcement, and pressure-class standards so the duct holds up under real commercial static pressure. We seal to defined SMACNA leakage classes appropriate to the system.

    Do you provide insurance documentation for building access?

    Yes, we provide a certificate of insurance and coordinate with your building's access and contractor requirements before work begins.
