New York's historic buildings deserve restoration that respects their original materials and character. Homex Builders restores historic homes and buildings across the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers, Long Island and New Jersey, including row houses, brownstones and pre-war buildings.
We use compatible mortars, matching brick and stone, and traditional techniques to repair masonry, stoops, cornices, ironwork and woodwork. Our goal is to stabilize and protect the building while preserving the details that make it historic.
