New York City’s brownstones, limestone facades, and pre-war buildings are part of the city’s architectural identity.

Innovation Construction NY is dedicated to restoring these historic exteriors while preserving their original beauty and strengthening their long-term durability.
Our team combines traditional restoration techniques with modern waterproofing technologies. From replicating old-world brownstone details to reinforcing fragile masonry, we approach each project with precision and respect for NYC’s architectural heritage. Whether you need structural repairs, waterproofing, facade restoration, or roofing work, we ensure every job meets or exceeds NYC Department of Buildings and Landmarks Preservation Commission standards.
Innovation Construction NY works on both residential and commercial buildings across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. We restore, protect, and maintain exteriors so your building remains safe, sound, and visually stunning for years to come.

Restoring NYC’s Historic Charm
New York City is famous for its brownstone and limestone townhouses, found in neighborhoods like Brooklyn’s Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan’s Upper West Side and Harlem. These beautiful facades and ornate details are part of the city’s heritage, but decades of weather exposure take their toll. Temperature changes cause stress cracks in masonry over time, and moisture infiltration can lead to spalling (stone surface peeling) as water freezes and expands inside the stone. Innovation Construction NY is dedicated to reversing this damage. We preserve original architectural details while reinforcing structural integrity, following guidelines set by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission for historic buildings. Our mission is not just cosmetic repair – it’s to protect New York’s architectural history for future generations.
Comprehensive Exterior Contracting
Beyond brownstones, we offer a full suite of exterior construction and restoration services to keep your property safe, dry, and beautiful. From roofing and waterproofing to brick work and concrete paving, our experts have you covered. Waterproofing is critical in NYC’s climate – heavy rain, snow, and summer heat can wreak havoc on unprotected structures. Proper roof restoration and coating prevents leaks, water damage, and even reduces heat stress on the building. Our masonry and pointing services seal out water to stop deterioration before it starts. Whether it’s fixing a leaky roof, repointing a brick façade, or repairing a worn concrete sidewalk, we use the best materials and techniques to ensure longevity and durability.

Review from Google
They do good work and are responsive. If you use them, be sure that you’ll have a great experience. In my specific instance, they helped out with repairing brownstone steps and facade. The work turned out great with these guys. Some companies I contacted wouldn’t touch the work based on the material I wanted to use (special brownstone-like compound as opposed to concrete). Innovation Construction NY Inc jumped in and got it right.
