Building Strong Foundations Across New York City
Helping property owners with their projects, solving issues efficiently, and delivering dependable, high-quality construction service.
Repairs identified in facade inspection reports, coordinated with your building's Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector to clear SWARMP and unsafe conditions ahead of the filing deadline.
Cutting out failed mortar to correct depth and replacing it with a mix matched to the building's original composition, color, and joint profile.
Functional and decorative joint work, including true two-mortar tuckpointing on buildings where the original detail requires it.
Treating the conditions behind the cracking, including corroding embedded steel that expands and splits the brick above openings.
Spalling brick replacement, terra cotta and brownstone detail work, and restoration on pre-war elevations.
Period-appropriate lime-based mortar work for landmarked and pre-war facades.
Work Experience
Boards want three things from a masonry contractor: a scope that matches the engineer's report, a schedule that gets the shed down, and documentation that closes the filing.
We work to the QEWI's scope, photograph conditions before and after, and coordinate with your consultant and managing agent so nothing stalls at the paperwork stage.
Buildings taller than six stories fall under the city's periodic facade inspection requirements, and open joints, displaced brick, and failing parapets are standard findings. We handle the repair side end to end and produce the documentation your QEWI needs to file.
Manhattan holds a large share of the city's designated historic districts, where exterior masonry work visible from the street generally requires Landmarks review before permits issue, extending to mortar color, joint profile, and tooling. On soft historic brick, we specify lime-based mortar rather than portland, because the hard mix spalls the brick face within a few seasons.
Swing stage, pipe scaffold, sidewalk shed, courtyard access with no room to turn a pallet. We plan the logistics before mobilizing and coordinate with building staff so residents, tenants, and the entrance are disrupted as little as possible.
Our experts lead every project with clarity, responsibility, and a deep understanding of complex site requirements.
