Masonry contractor in Newark, NJ.
Pre-1940 brick row houses everywhere you look. Most of our Newark work is full-façade repointing and bluestone stoop rebuilds. The brick here is soft, the original mortar was lime-rich, and trying to patch it with modern Portland-based Type S will guarantee spalling inside five years. So we don't.

Questions homeowners ask
FAQs about Newark jobs.
Things we've been asked most often by homeowners we've worked with in Newark. Don't see your question? Give us a call.
Why does Newark brick need lime mortar?
Because that's what was there originally. Buildings from the 1920s and 30s were laid with soft lime-rich Type N mortar, soft on purpose so the joints crack instead of the brick face. Repoint a pre-1940 Newark wall with hard Portland mortar and you'll see the brick start to spall within five years.
Do you replace rusted lintels above storefronts?
Yes. Wood or wrought-iron lintels are common on Newark's storefront openings; both fail over time. Stainless steel angles, sized properly for the load, are the long-term move.
How long is a full Newark façade restoration?
Depends on the scope. A two-story row-house front averages 6 to 8 days; a larger building, or one needing partial brick replacement, runs longer. We give you a written schedule before any work starts.
