Re: Brownstone facade leaks - repair and repointing

Regarding the stoop, the price is reasonable. We had it done in 2010 for $6,500 and it took 3-4 weeks. After looking at stoop and brownstone facade work done in the neighborhood by local contractors (the "Usual Suspects": FPV, JP, Jaime, PMJ, KDK, Across the River...) and seeing them fade to a salmon color after a year or so, we went with a contractor from Brooklyn: Cecil King Stone & Restoration from Bed-Stuy.
He did a great job, was a great contractor to work with and the color has not faded. When he chipped the stoop, he collected the brownstone dust to mix into the aggregate for the finish coat. He also made samples to match the color to the original brownstone copings. Whoever you use, they should do the same, and it's important that you not let them work on hot summer days, because stucco will cure too fast and crack. After it sets up, you should spray it with water periodically to slow curing and minimize cracks
