Masonry Contractors in the Bronx, NYC

The Bronx is our home — our office is at 2567 Lurting Ave, Bronx, NY 10469. We know the Bronx building stock better than any other borough: the attached brick rowhouses of Fordham and Tremont, the pre-war apartment buildings of Pelham Parkway, and the detached homes of Riverdale and Morris Park all have distinct masonry requirements.

Masonry Services for Bronx Buildings

The Bronx has a high concentration of brick buildings from the 1920s–1950s entering a critical maintenance window. Mortar from this era is typically deteriorating throughout, and window lintel failures are extremely common — the stair-step cracking above windows is visible on dozens of buildings in Fordham, Tremont, and Highbridge.

Window lintel replacement, brick pointing on 1930s–1950s apartment buildings, and parapet wall repair are our most common Bronx services. We also handle significant chimney repair volume on the detached homes in Riverdale, Woodlawn, and Pelham Bay.

FAQ — Masonry in Bronx

The Bronx has a very high concentration of brick buildings built between 1920 and 1950 — when steel lintels were standard but hot-dip galvanizing was not yet common practice. These lintels are now corroding and expanding, causing the stair-step crack pattern visible above windows on many Bronx buildings.
