Brownstone row houses are among the most iconic homes in New York, but the soft sandstone is vulnerable to flaking, spalling and erosion. Homex Builders restores brownstone façades, stoops and architectural details across Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers, Long Island and New Jersey.
We remove failing stone and old patches, then rebuild with color-matched restoration mortar, carved and shaped to recreate original profiles. We also repair stoops, railings, lintels and sills so your façade looks right and is protected from water.
