Masonry — FAQs

Do you match existing brick/stone and mortar color?

Yes. We source compatible brick/stone and sample mortar color/finish to blend with your façade before full application.

Can you rebuild damaged stoops and retaining walls?

Absolutely. We demo unsafe sections, pour proper footings, rebuild with reinforcement, and add cap/rail blocking per code.

Do you handle permits and DOB/LL11 coordination?

Yes. We assist with filings, scaffolds/sheds where needed, and provide COIs for management.

How do you prevent water intrusion in masonry?

Proper flashing/weep systems, repointing, breathable sealers, and correct slopes at caps, sills, and paving.
