What we do
Brownstone Restoration services
Brownstone is a soft sandstone. Over many years, rain and freezing weather make it crack, flake and lose its shape. Restoring it means removing the loose stone, rebuilding the surface with a special patching mix, and shaping and coloring it to match the original.
We always try to restore original stone instead of replacing it. It keeps your home's history and creates less waste. If your home is in a historic district, exterior work may need approval from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission before it starts.

Questions
Common questions
Can brownstone be repaired instead of replaced?
In most cases, yes. Damaged areas are rebuilt with a special patching mix that is shaped and colored to match the original stone. Replacing whole stones is usually only needed for severe damage.
Will the repair match the rest of my house?
We match the color and texture of your existing stone as closely as possible, so repairs blend in with the original facade.
Do I need permission for brownstone work?
If your home is a landmark or is in a historic district, exterior work may need a permit from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. You can look up your address on the Commission's website.
