What's included

Masonry & Brickwork work we take on

Brick pointing & repointing

Old mortar cut out to depth and repacked. Done right it lasts decades; done cheap it washes out in two winters.

Block & brick walls

Retaining walls, garage walls, foundation walls — laid level and tied in, not just faced over.

Structural & foundation repair

Cracked walls, settled corners, spalling brick, lintels that have rusted and lifted the course above them.

Waterproofing & parging

Below-grade coating and parging so water stops finding its way into the basement.

Chimney & stack masonry

Rebuilds above the roofline, crowns, flashing tie-ins. See chimney repair.

Steel & lintel work

Beam pockets, new lintels, and the block work that carries them.

Worth knowing before you hire anyone

Straight talk

Most masonry problems on Staten Island are water problems. A wall fails because the mortar is soft, the cap is cracked, or the flashing was never tied in. Nino will tell you which of those it is before he quotes it — including when the honest answer is that it's a small repair, not a rebuild.
