Local Conditions
What Masonry Work Do Allerton Properties Need?
Most masonry in Allerton is repair work on older brick houses. Walls lose mortar, bricks spall, piers lean and low garden walls loosen. These problems start small and grow with every freeze, so early repair costs less than rebuilding later.
The neighborhood is made up of attached and semi detached two family brick houses, detached frame houses and low rise apartment buildings. Brick houses bring pointing, brick replacement and chimney work. Frame houses often have masonry in their foundations, steps and front walls.
Many lots have driveways and side yards, and those lots often include a retaining wall or a short block wall where the grade changes. These walls hold back soil and the water that comes with it.
A wall that leans or shows a stair step crack across the joints is telling you something has moved. We look at what is behind it before we decide how to rebuild it.
What Kinds of Masonry Repairs Do We Handle?
We repoint brick, replace spalled bricks, rebuild piers and parapets, repair block and stone walls and fix masonry steps and chimneys. After a visit, you get a written scope that separates what needs doing now from what can wait.
Brick and facade work
Failed joints and cracked bricks let water into the wall. We cut out the damage, match the brick as closely as we can and finish the joints so they shed water.
Retaining and garden walls
A retaining wall that leans or bulges may need rebuilding with proper drainage behind it. Retaining walls can need DOB permits, and a structural problem may call for a licensed engineer. We tell you at the visit if we think yours does.
Permits and rules
Masonry done entirely inside your lot does not need the DOT sidewalk permit. Retaining walls, curb cuts and structural jobs can need DOB sign off. Taller buildings, those over six stories, come under the city facade inspection rules known as Local Law 11. No historic district that we can confirm covers Allerton. Confirm current rules with the city.
Tell us what is cracked or leaning and we will plan the visit around it.

FAQ
Allerton Masonry Questions
Yes. Chimneys take heavy weather, so we inspect the mortar, the bricks and the cap, and repair what has failed.
Sometimes. If the wall has only shifted a little and the base is sound, a rebuild of the top section may work. A badly leaning wall usually has to be taken down and rebuilt.
We match color, size and texture as closely as available brick allows. Perfect matches are rare on old walls, and we tell you what to expect.
Masonry kept inside your lot skips the DOT sidewalk permit, but retaining walls and structural work may need DOB approval, so confirm current rules with the city.
