Brick repointing, masonry repair, parapet rebuilding, cornice restoration, lintel replacement, and waterproofing — full-scope facade restoration delivered by a licensed, insured Queens-based contractor since 2010.
NYC's freeze-thaw climate, pollution, and building age create predictable facade failures. Catching them early saves you money — and lives.
Facade restoration covers everything from a single bad brick to full exterior wall reconstruction on a six-story building. The most common scope on NYC residential and commercial buildings includes brick repointing, masonry repair, parapet wall reconstruction, cornice restoration, lintel and window sill replacement, and waterproofing.
The economics are simple: a small facade repair caught early might cost $5,000. The same problem ignored for five years often becomes a $50,000 emergency once water has saturated the wall, corroded the steel lintels, and weakened the parapet. NYC's freeze-thaw cycle accelerates damage every winter.
If your building is six stories or taller, you're already required to inspect every five years under Local Law 11 / FISP. For smaller residential buildings, there's no inspection requirement — but property owners are still personally liable for falling masonry that injures pedestrians.
