Brownstone is softer than brick or concrete. It must be repaired with care. If the wrong methods are used, the stone may weaken or lose its natural look. We specialize in solving all of these problems. Mount Vernon homes face common problems, such as:
Cracks in facades from weather and time
Loose stoops and steps from heavy use
Weak mortar joints letting water inside
Damaged cornices, lintels, and sills
Leaky parapet walls on roof edges
Painted facades trapping water
Landmark rules requiring approved restoration
We provide every major brownstone service across Mount Vernon.
