Masonry Services We Offer Across NYC
From a few cracked bricks to a full facade restoration, we handle masonry work for homeowners, landlords, co-op boards and property managers throughout New York City. Pick a service below to see how we do it and when you need it.
Worn mortar joints let water into your walls. We grind out damaged mortar, repoint with a mix matched to the age and hardness of your brick, and leave clean, even joints that protect the wall for years.
Cracked, spalled or loose bricks weaken a wall and invite moisture inside. We remove damaged bricks, replace them with a close match, and rebuild sections that have bulged or shifted out of place.
We pour, repair and resurface concrete steps, slabs, walkways, driveways and foundations, using mixes and reinforcement made to handle NYC freeze-thaw cycles and heavy daily use.
Loose bricks, cracked crowns and crumbling mortar can drop debris and let water into your home. We repoint, rebuild and cap chimneys so they stay safe and solid through NYC winters.
Parapets face more weather than any other part of a building. We repair cracked and leaning parapets, reset or replace coping stones, and seal the wall so it stays secure and passes inspection.
We repair cracks, spalling, bulging brick and failed joints on building facades, including conditions flagged in Local Law 11 FISP reports, and restore the exterior so it looks right and stays safe.
Brownstone is a soft sandstone that flakes and crumbles with age. We remove loose stone and rebuild stoops, window lintels and facades with restoration mortar matched to the original color and texture.
We fix cracked, bubbling and water damaged stucco, blend the patch into your existing finish, and deal with the moisture behind it so the same damage does not come back next season.
We install and reset brick, stone and concrete pavers for patios, walkways and driveways, starting with a properly compacted base so the surface stays level and drains the right way.
We build and repair block, stone and concrete retaining walls with proper footings and drainage, so they hold back soil, handle water pressure and stay standing for the long term.
In NYC, property owners are responsible for the sidewalk in front of their building. We repair and replace cracked, raised and uneven sidewalks to NYC DOT standards and help you clear violations.
We stop water where it gets in, from basements and foundation walls to brick facades and roof edges, using sealants, membranes and coatings chosen for your building and the type of leak.
Rusted steel lintels crack the brick above windows and doors. We repair or replace lintels, rebuild the masonry around them, and install flashing to keep water out of the opening.
Safety and Code Compliance Come First
Masonry work in New York happens above sidewalks, next to neighbors and on buildings where people live and work. That is why safety is part of how we plan every job, not something added at the end. Our crews protect pedestrians and neighboring properties, secure every ladder and scaffold, and keep the work area clean at the end of each day. Work follows the NYC Building Code, DOB requirements, OSHA safety standards and NYC DOT rules for sidewalk jobs. If your project needs a permit, a sidewalk shed or landmark approval, we tell you before work starts so nothing catches you off guard later.

Your brick walls likely need repair if you see crumbling or missing mortar, cracks running through bricks or joints, bricks that are flaking or loose, white salt stains, or sections that bulge outward. Water leaks and damp spots on inside walls are another common sign. The sooner these are fixed, the smaller and cheaper the repair usually is.
Most mortar joints last around 20 to 30 years, but NYC weather can shorten that, especially on walls that get heavy rain, wind or snow. A good rule is to have your brickwork checked every few years and repointed when joints start to recess, crack or crumble.
A chimney should be inspected at least once a year, which is what the National Fire Protection Association recommends in its NFPA 211 standard. Late spring, after the freeze-thaw season, is a smart time to check for cracked crowns, loose bricks and failing mortar.
Brownstone is a soft sandstone that wears away in layers, while brick is a fired clay unit that is usually replaced when damaged. Brownstone repair involves removing loose stone and rebuilding the surface with a restoration mortar tinted and textured to match the original. Brownstones in landmark districts usually need approval from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission before exterior work begins.
It depends on the scope. Small ordinary repairs often do not need a DOB permit, but structural work, larger facade repairs and alterations usually do. Sidewalk work requires a permit from NYC DOT, and exterior work on landmarked buildings typically needs LPC approval. We confirm what your project needs before any work starts.
In New York City, the owner of the property next to the sidewalk is responsible for keeping it in good repair, under NYC Administrative Code Section 19-152. If the city issues a sidewalk violation, the owner can hire a licensed contractor to make the repairs to NYC DOT standards.
Local Law 11, officially the Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP), requires buildings taller than six stories to have their exterior walls inspected every five years by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector. If the report finds unsafe or damaged conditions, the owner must have them repaired. We handle facade repairs identified in these inspections.
Yes. Cracked mortar, damaged bricks, failed lintels and worn parapets are some of the most common ways water gets into NYC buildings. Repointing, replacing damaged masonry and adding proper flashing and waterproofing stop leaks at the source and protect interior walls, insulation and framing.
The cost of masonry repair in NYC depends on the size of the area, the type of brick or stone, how high the work is, whether scaffolding or a sidewalk shed is needed, and whether permits are required. We inspect the building, explain what needs fixing now and what can wait, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
Yes. All work is carried out by a licensed and insured masonry contractor with more than 10 years of experience on NYC buildings, and proof of insurance can be provided before your project starts.
