The Bronx is filled with history and character. Many neighborhoods still have brownstone-style homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These buildings add charm and beauty to the borough. But over the years, weather, city life, and age create cracks, leaks, and worn surfaces that must be repaired.
We are licensed and insured brownstone contractors serving the Bronx. Our services include facade repair, stoop and step restoration, mortar repointing, resurfacing, lintel replacement, cornice repair, waterproofing, landmark restoration, and more.

Cornices are the decorative trim at the top of many Bronx brownstones. They are exposed to weather and often break apart. A restored cornice keeps your home’s style and prevents water damage. Our cornice restoration service includes:
