Andriy Mykyta founded Total Window Service in 2012 to bring international rope access safety standards to New York City's window cleaning and glass restoration industry.
He is a licensed NYC Department of Buildings Suspended Scaffold Supervisor (Cert# TSC17-70120) and holds certifications from both IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) and SPRAT (Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians). These credentials inform every aspect of how his 14-person team operates — from equipment rigging to site-specific safety planning.
Under his supervision, Total Window Service has completed over 3,100 projects across all five NYC boroughs, including glass restoration and film installation on 10 buildings designated by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. Andriy personally oversees project execution to ensure compliance with NYC Local Laws and OSHA regulations.
