Brooklyn brick pointing, masonry, waterproofing & roofing
Brownstones, limestone row houses, frame homes and pre-war walk-ups — Brooklyn’s housing stock is full of aging masonry, stoops and flat roofs.
Brooklyn’s brownstone and row-house blocks are some of the city’s most recognizable — and some of its oldest. Many of these buildings are well over a century old, and their brick facades, cornices, stoops and parapets need regular attention to stay watertight.
We handle brick pointing and repointing, stoop repair and rebuilding, parapet and chimney work, basement waterproofing, sidewalk replacement and flat roof repair for Brooklyn homeowners, landlords and building managers.

Brooklyn questions
Do you repoint brownstones and row houses in Brooklyn?
Yes. Repointing, brick replacement, stoop repair and parapet work on brownstones, row houses and walk-ups is a big part of our Brooklyn work.
Does work on a landmarked Brooklyn building need approval?
If your building is an individual landmark or in a historic district, exterior work such as repointing generally needs a permit from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. We’ll talk through what applies to your building.
Can you repair a DOT sidewalk violation in Brooklyn?
Yes. We replace the flags listed on the DOT notice so you can request a dismissal inspection. See our guide to clearing a DOT sidewalk violation.
