Why Brooklyn Property Owners Choose Us

Masonry Services for Brooklyn Buildings

Landmark districts cover large portions of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Fort Greene, and parts of Bedford-Stuyvesant. LPC permit requirements apply throughout these areas. We have completed hundreds of LPC-compliant pointing and restoration projects across Brooklyn and are familiar with every district's specific material and approval requirements.

Brick pointing on pre-war rowhouses and brownstones is our most common Brooklyn service. We also handle high volumes of parapet wall repairs on brick apartment buildings in Flatbush, Brownsville, and East New York — many of which are now past their first major maintenance cycle.

Common Questions

FAQ — Masonry in Brooklyn

Do I need an LPC permit for masonry work in Brooklyn?

Only if your property is within a designated landmark district or is an individually landmarked building. Large areas of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene, Park Slope, and Bed-Stuy are LPC-designated. We check every property address before submitting a proposal.

What is the most common masonry problem in Brooklyn buildings?

Failed mortar joints in pre-war brick construction are the most common issue. Brooklyn's large inventory of 1890s–1930s rowhouses and brownstones all have mortar that is either at or past the end of its service life. Left untreated, water infiltration causes interior damage, mold, and DOB violations.

How much does brick pointing cost in Brooklyn?

Brick pointing in Brooklyn typically costs $8–$18 per square foot depending on building height, scaffold requirements, and whether LPC permits are required. Landmark properties with lime mortar and LPC applications are at the higher end.
