Hallways & Corridors
At The Alban Group, we specialize in high-end hallway and corridor renovations in commercial buildings, hotels, condominiums, offices, and multifamily residences. As a family-owned, fourth-generation construction firm based in Newark and the NYC metro area, we excel at transforming hallways while clients—and in many cases residents—remain fully occupied and functional

Common Challenges & How Alban Overcomes Them
Surprises behind walls
Hidden issues—like asbestos, lead paint, outdated electrical, plumbing, or structural weaknesses—can derail schedules and budgets. We mitigate risk through early detection: as-built reviews, selective testing, and proactive planning.
Occupant safety & air quality
In occupied hallways especially, containment, air scrubbers, negative-pressure enclosures, and strict dust- & debris-control protocols are crucial. We follow EPA and OSHA best practices to isolate zones and maintain healthy indoor environments.
Coordination under tight constraints
Working alongside building operations requires rigorous logistics. Our project teams handle elevator scheduling for material loading, debris removal, and multi-shift coordination—night, weekend, or holiday work to avoid peak hours.
Code compliance for doors, egress & locks
Hallway renovations demand full compliance with fire and safety codes (e.g., ADA, door clearances, locksets, hardware specifications). We partner with architects and code officials to ensure every element—from door frames to panic hardware—meets regulations.
