What Kind of Masonry Work Do We Do?

Pretty much anything that involves brick, stone, or chimney. Here’s what we’re out fixing every week across NYC.

Brick & Stone Repairs That Last

Tuckpointing and repointing – we match your old mortar, not just slap in something close
Lintel replacement – those rusted steel beams above windows and doors
Facade restoration – especially for landmark brownstones in Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, and Bed-Stuy
Parapet wall rebuilding – we can also help pull the DOB permit if needed

Chimney Work (Crown to Flue)

Chimney crown repair or full rebuild
Flue relining and chimney waterproofing
Taking down a dangerous chimney or repointing one that’s leaning

Natural Stone & Bluestone

Bluestone patio and step repairs
Granite and limestone facade work
Retaining walls and garden walls that won’t lean after one winter

Cornice restoration – wood, metal, or terracotta
Matching old mortar color and profile exactly

Questions We Get All the Time

What’s the going rate for tuckpointing in Brooklyn per square foot?

Usually between $15 and $30 per square foot. The price changes with scaffold access, how hard the mortar color is to match, and how high up we’re working. We’ll give you a free breakdown.

Can you help with a sidewalk violation notice from the city?

Yes – and we do it all the time. We repair or replace the damaged section, schedule the DOT inspection, and give you the paperwork to close out the violation.

How many weeks for a brownstone cornice restoration?

Most are finished in 1 to 3 weeks. That includes scaffold setup, the actual restoration, and final waterproofing. If the Landmarks Commission needs to review, add another two to four weeks.
