Mount Vernon has many homes with stone fronts and brownstone-style designs. These buildings are part of the city’s history and character. But like all stone homes, they face cracks, leaks, and damage from years of use.

Our goal is to keep Mount Vernon brownstones safe, strong, and beautiful for decades to come.
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.
The facade is the front face of your home and one of its most important features. In Mount Vernon, many brownstone facades are cracked, chipped, or stained from years of exposure to weather and pollution. A damaged façade does more than hurt your home’s appearance—it can also allow water to seep into walls and cause structural issues. Our façade repair service includes:
Stoops and steps are used every day by families and visitors. Over time, the heavy use, combined with weather cycles, causes cracks, loose stones, and uneven surfaces. Damaged stoops are not only unattractive but also unsafe. Safe, restored steps protect your family while bringing back the welcoming look of your home. We repair stoops and steps by:
Mortar joints hold your brownstone walls together. As they age, mortar crumbles and allows water inside, which can lead to major damage if ignored. This service not only protects against water but also adds decades of life to your brownstone. Our repointing process includes:
When walls are damaged, we prepare them with base coats.These coats prepare the surface for resurfacing.
If the outer stone is flaking, resurfacing restores it. This restores beauty and adds protection. Steps:
Lintels above windows and sills below them often crack. This leads to leaks. We replace lintels and sills with strong stone that matches the design.
Cornices are decorative trim at the top of homes. In White Plains, many are cracked or broken. We restore cornices by:
Water is the biggest threat to Brooklyn brownstones. Without protection, it seeps into cracks, weakens mortar joints, and causes major damage. Waterproofing extends the life of your brownstone and prevents costly future repairs.
Even small cracks and open joints can lead to bigger problems if ignored. They allow water inside and weaken the structure.
We repair cracks with matching stone mix and repoint joints with fresh mortar. This makes walls solid again and prevents future leaks.
Some homes in Mount Vernon are historic landmarks. These require special care and must follow city rules. This ensures your home keeps its historic character while gaining modern protection. We restore landmark homes by:
Parapet walls sit along the roof’s edge. They are exposed to harsh weather, which causes them to lean, crack, or crumble. Parapet repair keeps your roof safe, prevents water damage, and meets city safety codes. We repair parapet walls by:
