Yonkers is one of the largest cities in Westchester County and is home to many brownstone-style homes. These houses bring character, charm, and history to neighborhoods like Getty Square, Park Hill, and Nodine Hill. But like all stone buildings, they need care. Years of weather, water, and daily use cause cracks, leaks, and surface damage.

Brownstone is softer than brick or concrete. If the wrong materials or methods are used, it can fail quickly. Our team has decades of experience repairing these problems the right way. Homes in Yonkers often face:
We provide every type of brownstone repair service.
The facade is the front face of your home, and it is what most people notice first. Over time, exposure to snow, rain, and heat causes the stone to crack, chip, and stain. These problems not only affect how your home looks, but they can also allow water to seep inside and damage the walls. A well-repaired facade makes your home safer and keeps it looking beautiful for many years. Our facade repair service in Yonkers focuses on both appearance and protection. We:
Stoops are a signature feature of Yonkers brownstones. Families use them daily, and neighbors often gather there. Because of this constant use, stoops and steps wear down, shift, or break over time. Cracks and loose stones also make them unsafe. By restoring your stoop, we improve both the safety of your home and the charm of your brownstone. We provide complete stoop and step repair, which includes:
Mortar is what holds your brownstone walls together. Over time, old mortar becomes weak and begins to crumble. When this happens, water seeps into the wall, leading to cracks, leaks, and major structural issues if left untreated. This service restores strength to your home while keeping its historic look intact. Our tuckpointing and repointing service includes:
Some walls are too damaged for simple patching. In these cases, we use scratch and brown coats to prepare the surface. Together, these coats prepare your walls for resurfacing and refinishing, giving them stability and long-lasting strength.
When the outer surface of your brownstone begins to flake, peel, or break apart, resurfacing is the best solution. Instead of replacing the entire wall, resurfacing saves the original stone by covering it with a fresh protective layer. Resurfacing and refinishing give your brownstone a fresh appearance and add decades of life to your home.
The process involves:
Lintels are the support beams above windows and doors, while sills are the flat pieces below windows. Both are crucial to the strength of your walls. When they crack or fail, water leaks in and weakens the surrounding stone.This service protects your windows and doors while also keeping your walls stable. We replace lintels and sills by:
Cornices are decorative trim pieces at the top of brownstones. They add character to your home, but they are exposed to constant rain, snow, and ice. Over time, cornices often crack, rust, or lose sections. With this service, your home’s historic detail is preserved, and the top of your structure remains secure.Our cornice restoration includes:
Water is the most common cause of brownstone damage. If water enters the stone, it can cause cracks, stains, and even structural problems. Preventing water damage saves money on future repairs.
Even small cracks and open joints can lead to big problems if ignored. They allow water to enter and weaken the structure of your walls. These repairs prevent damage from spreading and add strength back to your walls. We provide:

Parapet walls are the short walls at the edge of roofs. They protect your building, but they often lean, crack, or collapse due to exposure to weather. With strong parapet walls, your home remains safe and meets city safety codes. Our parapet wall repair includes:
