This endeavor not only revitalized the building’s facade but also preserved its historical integrity, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and structural durability.

Preserving Brooklyn’s Architectural Heritage

Brooklyn’s brownstones are emblematic of the borough’s rich architectural history. Over time, these structures face wear and tear due to environmental factors, necessitating expert restoration to maintain their charm and safety.

Project Overview: 388 10th Street Restoration

The property at 388 10th Street had visible signs of aging, including deteriorating mortar joints and a weathered stoop. Progressive Contracting of NY addressed these issues through meticulous brick pointing and stoop restoration, ensuring the building’s longevity and visual appeal.

Understanding Brick Pointing

Brick pointing involves removing old, damaged mortar from between bricks and replacing it with new mortar. This process is crucial for:

• Structural Integrity: Prevents water infiltration and potential damage.
• Aesthetic Consistency: Maintains the building’s historical look.
• Longevity: Extends the life of the brickwork.

At 388 10th Street, the team carefully matched the new mortar to the original, preserving the building’s historic character.
