Brick RepointingOpen, cracked or washed-out mortar joints let water move deeper into masonry and can accelerate deterioration. Repointing removes deteriorated mortar to a sound depth and installs compatible replacement mortar with a joint profile appropriate to the existing wall. The objective is not simply to make joints look new; it is to restore a durable weather-resisting masonry surface without damaging the brick.
Brick ReplacementSpalled, fractured, displaced or severely weathered brick may need replacement rather than surface patching. We remove failed units carefully, rebuild localized masonry areas, maintain coursing and bond, and match the surrounding wall as closely as practical. Larger replacement areas may require engineered details and permits.
Stone RestorationNatural stone and cast-stone elements can crack, delaminate, spall or lose mortar at joints. We carry out specified repairs to sills, bands, copings, surrounds and facade panels, with attention to compatible repair materials, anchorage details and water management.
Terra Cotta RepairHistoric Manhattan facades often include glazed architectural terra cotta at cornices, window surrounds, bands and decorative features. Cracking, failed anchors and water entry require careful treatment. Repairs may include patching, pinning, replacement units, joint work, waterproof detailing or temporary stabilization as directed by the design professional.
Stucco RepairStucco surfaces require careful assessment because cracks, moisture damage and surface deterioration can affect both appearance and long-term performance. Depending on the condition, the work may involve crack repair, patching, surface preparation, texture matching, waterproofing or complete refinishing.
Cornice RepairCornices, bands, brackets and projecting decorative elements require close attention because deterioration can create overhead hazards. Depending on material and condition, the work may involve masonry restoration, sheet-metal repair, anchorage, patching, waterproofing or selective replacement.
Parapet Wall RepairParapets take heavy exposure from rain, freeze-thaw cycles and roof-edge movement. Loose coping, open joints, displaced brick and failed flashing can create both leakage and falling-object risks. We repair or rebuild parapet sections according to the approved scope and coordinate the wall with roof-edge waterproofing details.
Coping ReplacementCoping stones and wall caps protect the top of parapets and masonry walls. Open joints, cracked units or poor pitch can send water into the wall below. We reset, repair or replace coping components as specified and restore joints and sealant transitions to improve water shedding.
Lintel Repair & ReplacementCorroded steel lintels can expand as they rust, pushing on surrounding masonry and creating step cracks, displacement or loose brick above windows and doors. Lintel work can include opening the masonry, removing deteriorated steel, installing or repairing specified lintel components, corrosion protection, flashing and rebuilding the masonry above.
Shelf Angle RepairMulti-story masonry facades may rely on shelf angles and related support components. Corrosion, movement or failed joints can telegraph through the brickwork. Where the engineer’s investigation identifies support-related defects, we execute the approved repair scope and rebuild affected masonry in controlled sections.
Concrete Facade RepairConcrete spalls often develop where moisture reaches reinforcing steel and corrosion expands beneath the surface. Proper repair typically means removing unsound concrete, treating exposed reinforcement as specified, rebuilding the section with compatible repair material and restoring the protective surface.
Facade CaulkingExterior sealant is a maintenance item with a limited service life. Hardened, cracked or detached joints around windows, panels, control joints and material transitions can become direct water-entry paths. We remove failed material, prepare the joint and install the specified sealant system with appropriate backing where required.
Flashing & Water Infiltration RepairFlashing and water infiltration issues require careful inspection because moisture can lead to hidden structural damage, staining and material deterioration. Depending on the source and condition, the work may involve flashing repair, sealant replacement, waterproofing, drainage improvements or selective removal and replacement.
Facade CleaningCleaning can improve appearance and expose the true condition of masonry, but aggressive methods can damage brick, stone, mortar and architectural finishes. We use project-appropriate cleaning methods, test areas when needed and protect adjacent glass, metal and occupied spaces.
Balcony RepairBalconies, terraces, railings and guards require attention to concrete, masonry, waterproofing and metal connections. Loose railings, spalled edges or failed joints can create serious safety concerns. We execute the repair scope prepared by the project professional and coordinate protection below the work area.
Fire Escape RepairFire escapes and exterior metal components are part of the facade environment and can deteriorate through corrosion, failed connections and coating breakdown. Work may include surface preparation, localized repair, replacement of specified components and protective coating, subject to the required design and permit conditions.
Sidewalk Sheds & ScaffoldingWhen unsafe facade conditions create a hazard to pedestrians or property, public protection may be required. Depending on the condition and approved plan, that can include a sidewalk shed, fence or structural netting. We coordinate the repair work around the required protection and access plan and keep the work zone organized for occupants, pedestrians and neighboring properties.
Facade Project PlanningSuccessful restoration projects require clear planning, coordination and regular communication to keep work organised and on schedule. Depending on the project, the process may involve contractor coordination, site inspections, progress tracking, documentation and regular updates.

A clear scope and final review.
Yes, many facade restoration projects in NYC require permits through the Department of Buildings (DOB), especially when scaffolding, structural repairs, or sidewalk sheds are involved. 786 Construction Services handles the permit process and helps ensure the work complies with NYC DOB safety regulations and Local Law requirements where applicable.
Local Law 11, also known as the Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP), requires buildings taller than six stories in NYC to undergo periodic facade inspections by a licensed professional. If unsafe conditions are found, repairs must be completed within DOB timelines. 786 Construction Services works with engineers, architects, and property owners to complete compliant facade restoration and repair work safely and efficiently.
Project timelines vary based on building height, weather conditions, permits, material availability, and repair complexity. Smaller residential facade repairs may take a few days to a couple of weeks, while larger commercial restoration projects can take several months. During the consultation process, we provide realistic timelines and keep clients updated throughout the project.
Facade restoration often includes brick replacement, stone repair, masonry repointing mortar, waterproof coatings, sealants, stucco systems, lintel replacement, and exterior paint or protective finishes. At 786 Construction Services, we use high-quality commercial-grade materials designed to withstand harsh New York weather conditions while preserving the building’s appearance and structural integrity
In many cases, yes. Water infiltration is one of the most common reasons property owners contact us for facade restoration. Cracked masonry, failed mortar joints, deteriorated sealants, and damaged exterior surfaces can allow moisture into the building envelope. Proper facade repair and waterproofing can help prevent leaks, interior wall damage, mold issues, and long-term structural deterioration.
Some facade damage caused by storms, accidents, or sudden structural issues may qualify for insurance coverage depending on your policy. Normal wear and aging are typically not covered. 786 Construction Services can assist property owners by documenting visible damage and providing detailed repair estimates that may help during the insurance claim process.
Yes. Warranty coverage depends on the scope of work performed and materials used. We stand behind our craftsmanship and use reliable installation methods designed for long-term performance. During your estimate, our team will explain the warranty details associated with your specific project.
Our goal is to keep disruption to a minimum while maintaining strict safety standards. Some projects may require scaffolding, sidewalk sheds, temporary access restrictions, or controlled work zones. 786 Construction Services carefully plans every project to maintain clean job sites, safe pedestrian access, and professional communication throughout the restoration process.
Regular inspections are extremely important in NYC due to changing weather, freeze-thaw cycles, pollution, and aging building materials. Even buildings not covered under Local Law 11 should have periodic exterior inspections to catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. Preventive maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of the facade and reduce long-term restoration costs.
786 Construction Services combines professional craftsmanship, modern restoration techniques, and NYC construction experience to deliver high-quality facade restoration services for residential and commercial properties. We focus on safety, communication, code compliance, and long-lasting results. From brick and stone repair to waterproofing and full exterior restoration, our team works hard to protect your property while improving curb appeal and structural reliability.
