Masonry Contractors in Queens, NYC

Queens has a mix of building types unlike any other borough — brick rowhouses in Woodhaven and Ridgewood, brick apartment buildings in Flushing and Jamaica, and detached homes in Bayside and Forest Hills. Each area has its own typical masonry problems and permit requirements.

Masonry Services for Queens Buildings

Ridgewood in Queens shares a border with Bushwick in Brooklyn and has nearly identical pre-war brick construction — many blocks of 1900s–1920s attached rowhouses. The Ridgewood Historic District requires LPC compliance for exterior masonry work. We have completed numerous LPC-compliant projects in Ridgewood and are familiar with the district's specific requirements.

Brick pointing, stucco repair, and parapet wall inspections are our most common Queens services. Astoria has a large inventory of 1920s–1940s brick apartment buildings regularly requiring pointing and lintel work. Jackson Heights and Flushing both have significant pre-war masonry that is entering the maintenance window.
