Westchester County is filled with historic homes and brownstone-style houses. From Yonkers and Mount Vernon to White Plains and New Rochelle, many neighborhoods have brownstones that bring character and value. But time, weather, and daily use cause cracks, leaks, and surface damage.
We are licensed brownstone repair contractors serving all of Westchester County. Our team provides every type of repair, including facade repair, stoop and step restoration, tuckpointing, resurfacing, cornice restoration, lintel and sill replacement, waterproofing, parapet wall repair, paint removal, and landmark restoration.
Our mission is simple: keep Westchester brownstones strong, safe, and beautiful for decades to come.
Brownstone is softer than brick and concrete. If repaired incorrectly, the stone may fail or lose its natural look. Our team uses the right methods and materials to solve these problems while protecting the historic look of your home. In Westchester, common issues include:
Cracked facades from freezing winters
Loose stoops and steps from heavy daily use
Weak mortar joints that let in water
Damaged cornices, lintels, and sills
Leaning parapet walls on roof edges
Painted facades trapping moisture
Historic landmark restrictions in certain areas
We provide every major brownstone repair service across Westchester.
The facade is the face of your home. Over decades, facades crack, chip, and stain due to snow, rain, heat, and pollution. A damaged façade not only looks worn out but can also allow water to enter your walls. A properly repaired façade improves your home’s safety, prevents leaks, and restores the curb appeal that makes brownstones so special.
Stoops and steps are used daily by families, guests, and neighbours. In Westchester, older stoops often crack, shift, or wear down over time. These problems are not only unattractive but can also be dangerous. Restoring your stoop makes your home welcoming again while protecting everyone who uses your steps.We restore stoops and steps by:

Some facades are too damaged for simple patching. In these cases, we use scratch coats and brown coats as base layers. These coats prepare your wall for resurfacing and refinishing, ensuring repairs last for many years.
If the outer layer of your brownstone is peeling, flaking, or falling apart, resurfacing is the best solution. Resurfacing improves your home’s appearance and adds long-lasting protection against harsh weather.
Lintels (above windows) and sills (below windows) support important parts of your walls. When they crack, they allow water inside, which weakens the structure Replacing lintels and sills keeps your home safe and stops water leaks before they become bigger problems. We:
Cornices are the decorative trim at the top of brownstones. They add beauty but are exposed to years of weather. In Westchester, many cornices are cracked or rusted.
A restored cornice protects your home from leaks while keeping its historic charm.
Water damage is the most common threat to brownstones. Without protection, water causes cracks, stains, and structural issues. Waterproofing saves you money and helps prevent costly future repairs. We waterproof by:
