How It Works

Your Exterior Project
in 5 Steps

Exterior work has unique considerations — weather windows, DOT requirements, neighbor coordination, and material curing times. Our process accounts for all of it.

1

On-Site Assessment

We visit your property, inspect the existing condition, discuss your goals, take measurements, and identify any structural concerns or code requirements.

2

Detailed Estimate

You receive an itemized estimate covering materials, labor, and timeline. We review material options together — stone types, paver styles, concrete finishes — and finalize selections.

3

Permits & Approvals

For sidewalks, facade alterations, foundation work, or any structural modification, we file and obtain all required DOB and DOT permits before work begins.

Permits secured before work starts
4

Construction

Demolition of old surfaces, excavation, base preparation, reinforcement, and new construction. We work weather-aware and keep your property accessible throughout.

5

Final Inspection & Cleanup

We schedule any required inspections, verify everything meets code, clean up completely, and walk the finished work with you. Curing instructions provided where applicable.

DOB/DOT inspection if required

Common Questions

Exterior & Masonry FAQ

Answers to the questions NYC property owners ask us most about exterior and masonry work.

Yes — NYC requires a DOT permit for sidewalk replacement. If you've received a sidewalk violation from the DOT, you're required to make repairs. We handle the permit filing, compliant concrete specs, and final inspection so the violation gets cleared from your property record.
Stoop costs depend on size, material, and complexity. A basic concrete stoop rebuild typically starts around $5,000–$10,000. A stone or brick stoop with custom iron railings can run $10,000–$25,000+. We provide a detailed estimate after an on-site assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
Most residential sidewalk replacements take 2–3 days for the actual work, plus a few days for concrete curing. The permit process can take 2–4 weeks, which we begin as soon as you sign the contract. We schedule the pour around weather conditions to ensure a proper cure.
Absolutely. We handle DOT sidewalk violation repairs regularly. We pull the required permit, replace or repair the flagged sections to DOT specifications, schedule the inspection, and get the violation cleared from your property record. If you've received a notice, don't wait — fines increase over time.
Interlocking pavers are the most popular choice for NYC patios — they're durable, handle freeze-thaw cycles well, and allow for drainage. Bluestone is a classic option with a natural look. Concrete pavers offer the most design flexibility. We'll help you choose the right material based on your space, use, and budget during the consultation.
Yes — we handle foundation repairs including crack repair, underpinning, new footings with rebar reinforcement, block wall construction, and retaining walls. Foundation work requires DOB permits and structural engineering, both of which we coordinate and obtain before any excavation begins.
