Comprehensive Masonry Services

Every project, large or small, is handled with the same level of craftsmanship, material knowledge, and structural care.

Brick Repointing & Rebuilding

We remove deteriorated mortar joints and repack them with historically compatible mortar mixes, preventing water infiltration and structural damage. Spalled or failed bricks are carefully matched and replaced.

Brownstone & Limestone Restoration

Using traditional techniques and period-appropriate materials, we restore the façades of historic brownstones and limestone buildings — repairing cracks, patches, and eroded surfaces to their original elegance.

Parapet & Lintel Repair

Failing parapets and deteriorated lintels are among the most critical safety issues in New York buildings. We diagnose, stabilize, and rebuild these elements to code, preventing water damage and potential collapse.

Waterproofing & Sealing

We apply advanced crystalline and elastomeric coatings to masonry walls, foundations, and below-grade structures — stopping leaks at the source while allowing walls to breathe and remain vapor-permeable.

FAQ's

What types of masonry repair do you handle?

We handle all exterior masonry on residential and commercial buildings — brick, brownstone, limestone, bluestone, concrete block, and natural stone. This includes repointing, crack repair, spalling, replacement, waterproofing, and full façade restoration.

Yes. We have extensive experience working within NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission guidelines and have completed approved projects throughout historic districts in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. We prepare and submit all required permit documentation.

Absolutely. We work alongside licensed engineers to inspect, repair, and close out FISP violations. Our documentation meets DOB requirements and we’ve helped dozens of building owners resolve outstanding violations on time.

It depends on the scope. A single brownstone repointing typically takes 3–7 days. A full multi-story building restoration with scaffolding can run 4–12 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins and keep you updated at every phase.
