When the mortar between your bricks starts crumbling or your facade shows cracks you can’t ignore, the structure behind it’s telling you something. In the Bronx, where much of the housing stock is decades old, deteriorating masonry isn’t just an eyesore, it’s a liability. Water gets in, freeze-thaw cycles do their damage, and what starts as a small repair becomes a major rebuild.
Grace Roofing & Concrete Contractor Corp has been handling masonry & brickwork across the Bronx for over 16 years. We work with homeowners, landlords, and business owners throughout the borough who need a contractor they can actually trust to show up, do the job right. Stand behind the work. No subcontractors. No shortcuts. Just experienced tradespeople who know Bronx buildings inside and out.
Whether you need a brick wall repainted, a parapet rebuilt, or a full facade restoration, we bring the same level of care to every project, residential or commercial, small repair or major reconstruction.
Masonry & Brickwork Services We Offer in the Bronx
Brick Pointing & Repointing
Brick pointing is one of the most important maintenance services any Bronx property owner can invest in. When mortar joints deteriorate, water infiltrates the wall assembly, causing efflorescence, spalling, and eventually structural damage. We remove damaged mortar to the correct depth and replace it with properly mixed, matched mortar that bonds cleanly to your existing brick. The result looks good and lasts.
Brick Repair & Replacement
Cracked, chipped, or spalled bricks need to come out before they compromise neighboring units. We source matching replacement bricks whenever possible so repairs blend with your existing facade. For older Bronx brownstones and row houses, we have experience working with period-accurate materials and techniques that respect the original construction.
Stone Work & Installation
Natural and cut stone adds lasting value to any property. We install bluestone walkways, granite steps, limestone accents, and fieldstone walls for both residential and commercial clients throughout the Bronx. All stonework is set on proper bases with appropriate drainage to prevent frost heave and settling.
Concrete Block Work
From reinforced CMU (concrete masonry unit) walls to decorative block partitions, we handle all phases of concrete block construction. This service is popular with Bronx commercial property owners building perimeter walls, mechanical enclosures, and rear additions that need structural masonry at a competitive price point.
Parapet Wall & Facade Work
Parapet walls take a beating in New York winters. Freeze-thaw cycles crack coping stones, separate mortar joints, and can trigger Local Law 11 / FISP violations if ignored long enough. We inspect, repair, and rebuild parapet walls for multifamily and commercial buildings throughout the Bronx, and we work efficiently to keep project timelines tight and scaffolding costs down.
Chimney Masonry
A deteriorating chimney is one of the most common masonry calls we get in the Bronx. We repair chimney crowns, rebuild damaged sections, repoint mortar joints, and install or replace chimney caps. If water is getting into your chimney, we’ll find where it’s coming from and close it off properly.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls hold back soil, create level outdoor spaces, and prevent erosion on sloped properties. We build retaining walls in brick, block, stone, and concrete, designed and constructed to handle the specific load and drainage conditions on your property. Bronx hillside lots and sloped backyards are a specialty.
Stoops, Steps & Outdoor Stairs
Your front stoop is the first thing visitors see. Cracked risers, crumbling treads, and shifting base stones are also serious trip hazards. We rebuild brownstone stoops, pour new concrete stairs, and repair existing steps with materials that match your building’s style. Work is done to code and built to handle New York foot traffic.
Window Sills & Lintels
Deteriorated window sills and lintels are easy to overlook until they become a water intrusion problem or a falling masonry hazard. We repair and replace brownstone sills, precast lintels. Brick soldier courses around windows and doors across the Bronx, keeping your facade tight and your building envelope intact.

We Serve Both Homeowners and Business Owners:
Most masonry contractors in the Bronx focus on one or the other. We work with both, from single-family homeowners who need a stoop rebuilt to commercial landlords managing multifamily buildings with facade violations. The same quality standard applies to every job.

We come to your property, assess the work, and give you a written estimate, no cost, no obligation. We explain what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and what it will cost. You’ll never get a lowball number that doubles once the scaffold goes up.
Full Exterior Expertise:
As a roofing and concrete contractor as well as a masonry specialist, we see the full picture of your building’s exterior.

- Step 3: Material Selection: We help you select the right brick, mortar, stone, or block for your project, matching existing materials where needed or selecting new materials appropriate for your building’s style and age.
- Step 4: Expert Installation or Repair: Our crew handles the work from setup through completion. We protect surrounding surfaces, stage materials properly, and keep the job site clean throughout the project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Masonry & Brickwork in the Bronx
Q: How do I know if my brick needs repointing?
A: Look for mortar joints that appear recessed, crumbly, sandy, or dark with moisture. If you can press a screwdriver into the mortar joint without much resistance, or if you see white staining (efflorescence) on the brick face, it’s time to repoint. A failing mortar joint can let in enough water to damage interior walls and framing over a single winter.
Q: How long does brick pointing last?
A: Quality pointing work, done with properly mixed mortar at the right water ratio, should last 25 to 50 years on a well-maintained building. The biggest factors are mortar mix quality, proper joint depth, and weather conditions during application. We don’t rush the cure on our pointing jobs because the set time matters.
Q: Do I need a permit for masonry work in the Bronx?
A: It depends on the scope. Minor repairs like repointing or replacing a few bricks typically don’t require a permit. Work that affects structural elements, retaining walls over a certain height, parapet rebuilds, significant facade reconstruction, may require a DOB permit. We’ll let you know what’s required for your specific project before work begins.
Q: What’s the difference between tuck pointing and repointing?
A: Tuck pointing and repointing are often used interchangeably. Technically tuck pointing refers to filling over existing joints to create a sharper visual line, while repointing means removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it entirely. We recommend full repointing for structural and waterproofing purposes, filling over old mortar only masks the problem.
Q: Can you match my existing brick if I need repairs?
A: In most cases, yes. We work with suppliers who stock many brick types, including older styles common to Bronx brownstones and mid-century buildings. For historic structures, we can salvage brick when necessary. We’ll show you the match before committing to material so you can approve it first.
Q: Do you handle Local Law 11 / FISP facade violations?
A: Yes. If your building has received a facade inspection report citing masonry defects, we can perform the required repair work and provide the documentation your engineer needs to close out the violation. We work with property managers and building owners on FISP compliance across the Bronx regularly.
Q: How much does brick pointing cost in the Bronx?
A: Costs vary based on the amount of linear footage, the extent of mortar deterioration, scaffold requirements, and accessibility. We provide written estimates after inspecting the property, there’s no way to give you an accurate number without seeing the job. What we can tell you is that we price fairly and don’t inflate after you’ve signed.
Q: Do you work on commercial properties as well as residential?
A: Yes. We work on both. Commercial masonry clients include multifamily building owners, mixed-use property owners, and small business property owners throughout the Bronx. The licensing, insurance, and workmanship standards are identical regardless of property type.
Q: How long will my masonry project take?
A: Small repairs, a few bricks, a section of repointing, can often be completed in one to two days. Larger jobs like full parapet rebuilds or facade restorations take longer depending on scaffold requirements and scope. We give you a realistic timeline with your estimate and update you if anything changes.
Q: Is masonry work seasonal in New York?
A: Cold weather masonry requires precautions, mortar can’t be applied when temperatures are below 40°F without protective measures. We work year-round but schedule weather-sensitive work accordingly. If you’re planning ahead for spring or summer work, contact us early, our schedule fills up as the season opens.
