A: It is recommended to have your roof inspected once a year to ensure that it is in good condition and to catch any problems early on.

A: Signs of a damaged roof include leaks, cracks, missing or damaged shingles, air or water bubbles in the roofing material, and visible mold or water damage.

Brownstone Restoration

A: A typical brownstone restoration project may involve several different steps, including but not limited to:

  • Assessing the condition of the building and identifying any necessary repairs or complete façade restoration.
  • Then chip off the damage brownstone with a powered chisel to create a solid base.
  • Wash the prepared brownstone surface with water and 
    apply a slurry coat (bonding coat) over the rough surfaces.
  • Then apply a layer of cement mix (Portland cement, sand, lime and other aggregates mix) scratch coat over slurry coat with notch trowel.
  • The client will be provided with samples of the brownstone color to make their selection.
  • After the scratch coat has cured (usually after 3-4 weeks depends on weather and other condition), the final coat of selected brownstone-colored cement will be applied and finished.
  • Finally, to achieve the desired surface finishing, a light wash will be applied to the final brownstone work after 3-4 days of completion.

The specific scope of a brownstone restoration project will depend on the needs of each individual building and the goals of the owner.

A: The timeline of a brownstone restoration project can vary greatly depending on the size and complexity of the building, the scope of work, and other factors such as weather and availability of materials and labor. On average, a small to medium-sized brownstone restoration project may take several months to complete, while larger and more complex projects can take a year or more.
