How we work here
Every trade in Brooklyn, one call
Brooklyn housing is some of the oldest and most varied in the city. Brownstones and limestones, attached brick rowhouses, wood-frame two-families and prewar walk-ups all sit on the same block, and each one asks something different of a contractor. We know the difference between a steam system and a hot-water system, and between a party wall and a load-bearing one.
We handle the small stuff and the big stuff. Clear a drain, fix a no-heat call, repaint a facade, finish a cellar, or take a brownstone down to the studs and build it back. One estimate, one team, one point of contact. Estimates are free and we answer 24/7 for emergencies.

Local realities
What we see in Brooklyn homes
Brownstones and attached rowhouses
Shared party walls, narrow lots and rear extensions make plumbing and electrical runs tight. Work on one house can affect the neighbor, so we plan routing carefully and protect adjoining walls.
Steam heat and old cast iron
Many Brooklyn homes still run on one-pipe steam with cast-iron radiators and original cast-iron drain stacks. We service, repair and convert these systems, and we replace stacks that have cracked or rusted through.
Basement and cellar apartments
Below-grade units are common and are the first to flood when a sewer backs up or a storm overwhelms the street drains. Backwater valves, sump pumps and waterproofing protect the unit and the tenant.
Coastal and low-lying neighborhoods
Red Hook, Canarsie, Sheepshead Bay and parts of Sunset Park sit near the water and take on water during major storms. Flood pumping and restoration are a regular need in these areas.
Landmark districts and co-op boards
Exterior work in historic districts and renovations inside co-ops and condos usually require approvals before work starts. We prepare the paperwork your board or the city asks for, where required.

Questions from Brooklyn homeowners
Do you work on brownstones and landmarked buildings?
Yes. We handle interior and exterior work on brownstones and rowhouses, and we prepare the filings a landmark district or the Department of Buildings asks for, where required.
What does a brownstone renovation or a plumbing repair cost in Brooklyn?
There is no flat price for an old house. Brownstones hide surprises, so we look first and give you a written estimate before any work starts, at no charge.
Can you fix my steam heat without replacing the whole system?
Often, yes. Many steam problems come down to valves, vents, traps or the boiler itself. We tell you what can be repaired and what should be replaced.
My basement apartment flooded. What do you do first?
We pump out the water, remove what is soaked, dry the space and then fix the cause, whether that is a sewer backup, a failed sump pump or groundwater coming through the walls.
