Compliant Exterior Envelope Repairs
Facade Restoration (brick, stone, stucco, terracotta)
We restore brick, stone, stucco/EIFS, and terracotta facades for commercial and residential buildings needing safe, code-compliant repairs.
We serve Huntington Station and New York City, with crews across the Tri-State area and Long Island. Our team manages engineering, special inspections, and all permits while maintaining OSHA site safety. For larger projects we travel up to 100 km; for smaller jobs we prefer within 50 km.
Proven, Compliant Facade Restoration Expertise
Safe, Permitted, Insured Delivery
We bring hands-on exterior building restoration expertise to complex brick, stone, stucco/EIFS, and terracotta facade restoration in Huntington Station and New York City.
Our masons match historic mortar by color and texture with masonry restoration standards, cut joints correctly, and reset lintels, parapets, and cornices to restore structural continuity. On terracotta and stone, we pin, anchor, or dutchman-repair units and replace only what performance requires.
For stucco/EIFS, we repair base coat and mesh, re-establish drainage, and treat control joints properly. Sealant and caulking replacement is executed with silicone, urethane, or STP products from Sika and Pecora with backer rod and documented adhesion testing.
We confirm scope with samples and mock-ups for owner or architect approval before production. Vertical access is planned early, using suspended scaffolding systems, pipe scaffolding, sidewalk sheds, and access elevators to maintain safety and public protection.
We maintain umbrella insurance across our operations and provide 24/7 response for urgent facade water intrusion.
Engineering and special inspections are available through our team to streamline drawings and NYC DOB/DOT permitting, including after-hours permits when required.
We coordinate third-party asbestos or environmental investigations where necessary. We keep a compliance-first posture and never over-promise: we do not coordinate penetrations and flashings with other trades, and for landmark work we follow the design team’s direction rather than managing LPC/SHPO approvals in-house, ensuring efficient, code-compliant restoration citywide.
Straight Answers On Facades
What affects facade restoration cost?
Scope, access, and materials drive facade restoration cost. We evaluate unit replacement versus repair, mortar matching, sealant quantities, and approved vertical access such as suspended scaffolding or sidewalk sheds. In Huntington Station and New York City we also factor DOB/DOT permits and special inspections. We price transparently after survey and mock-ups, aligning scope with performance targets and code compliance.
Is repointing the same as tuckpointing?
No. In masonry repointing vs tuckpointing, repointing removes failed mortar and installs new, compatible mortar; tuckpointing adds a contrasting fillet for appearance. We specify mortar by color and texture, then tool to match adjacent work. On historic brick and stone facades across New York City and Huntington Station, we prioritize durable repointing that restores weatherproofing without damaging units.
How do you fix spalling areas?
We address the concrete spalling repair process principles as they apply to brick, stone, and terracotta facades. We remove unsound material, stabilize or replace units, reset or reinforce lintels, and restore waterproofing at joints with tested sealants. Our facade restoration crews document repairs with photos and mock-ups so owners understand scope and finish before production begins.
How often should sealants be replaced?
Sealant and caulking replacement frequency depends on movement, exposure, and product. Many facade joints in New York City weather faster than inland locations. We evaluate adhesion and joint geometry, then replace perimeter and control-joint sealants with silicone, urethane, or STP systems from Sika or Pecora with backer rod, documenting adhesion tests to verify performance before closeout.
Can you work on historic facades?
Yes. We follow historic building restoration guidelines by matching mortar color and texture, salvaging units where feasible, and submitting samples and mock-ups for review. We collaborate with the owner’s team on approvals; we do not manage LPC/SHPO processes in-house. Our facade restoration methods protect character while meeting code and safety expectations in Huntington Station and New York City.
What is your emergency leak response?
Our 24/7 team stabilizes unsafe conditions, isolates water paths, and executes targeted temporary repairs, then proposes permanent facade restoration. Typical emergency water intrusion response steps include visual survey, sealant or repointing at clear defects, and scheduling compliant access for follow-up work. We mobilize quickly in Huntington Station and New York City, maintaining safety and documentation throughout.
A wind-driven storm exposed widespread mortar failure on our 1930s co-op facade in Jackson Heights, and water began staining apartments. Skylight Restoration performed a thorough survey, built a mock-up, matched the mortar color perfectly, and repointed while resetting several loose stone lintels. Access was via suspended scaffolding with excellent sidewalk protection. Their documentation and coordination with our engineer were professional throughout, and the leaks stopped after the first elevation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Our brick townhouse in Brooklyn had spalling units and failing sealant around window perimeters. The team evaluated the facade, replaced only the worst bricks, installed new Sika sealant with backer rod, and repaired parapet joints. They kept everything code-compliant and tidy on a busy street, obtaining permits and inspections without disrupting our tenants. The building reads crisp again, and the interior wall dampness has not returned.
