Your facade is your building's first line of defense
NYC's commercial building facades endure extreme conditions — temperature swings, driving rain, freeze-thaw cycling, wind loads, and pollution. Over decades, even well-constructed facades develop deterioration that compromises weather protection, structural integrity, and code compliance.
Facade restoration addresses the building envelope as a system — not just individual defects. Masonry deterioration, failed sealants, corroded lintels, deteriorated stucco, and compromised flashing all interact. Fixing one without addressing the others leaves the building vulnerable.
Facade systems we restore
Brick & Masonry Facades
Repointing, brick replacement, lintel repair, and parapet reconstruction. We restore masonry to structural and weather-tight condition using compatible materials.
Stucco & Cement Facades
Three-coat stucco repair and replacement, crack remediation, and substrate restoration. Color and texture matched to existing conditions.
Stone Facades
Limestone, brownstone, and granite restoration. Dutchman repairs, consolidation, cleaning, and compatible patching.
Mixed-Material Facades
Many NYC buildings combine brick, stone, metal, and stucco. We coordinate all trades to deliver a cohesive restoration.
Comprehensive facade assessment and restoration
Facade restoration begins with a thorough condition assessment — hands-on inspection of all facade elements, documentation of deterioration patterns, and identification of underlying causes. We work with your QEWI when Local Law 11 findings drive the scope.
The restoration plan addresses every finding systematically — prioritized by structural significance, weather exposure, and code requirements. We sequence work to maintain weatherproofing throughout the project and coordinate with building operations to minimize disruption.

Maintaining your restored facade
A restored facade is a significant investment. Ongoing maintenance protects that investment.
Regular maintenance extends the interval between major restoration cycles and keeps your building compliant.
