Queens has a mix of historic and modern homes. While most brownstones are found in Brooklyn and Manhattan, Queens also has brownstone-style row houses and stone-front homes that need repair. Many of these homes were built in the early 1900s. Over time, weather and age cause cracks, loose mortar, leaks, and surface wear.
