Brownstone was used as a handsome veneer on East Coast Homes between 1820 and 1890. It was easy to quarry, plentiful and soft enough for carving detailed designs on facades and stoops. Brownstone itself is a coarse grained brown sandstone, and in the original facades, it was mixed with silica and clay. Over time brownstone erodes and deteriorates, and the facades must be patched or replaced. Many companies repair worn brownstone with tinted concrete, but Bravo Renovation uses genuine crushed brownstone from the original quarries, returning these beautiful brownstones to their former glory. Bravo Renovation uses the brownstone standard method as per New York historical guidelines for repairing and restoring brownstones.
...Ornamental brownstone details range from delicate flowers carved over windows to elaborately carved doorways and balustrades. Bravo Construction uses two techniques recommended by the New York Historic Commission. The first method builds up reproductions with layers of patching material, sculpting the details into the final layers. The retention of sound, highly decorative ornamental areas is always recommended. The second method is to cast duplicate pieces of ornament from intact originals on other parts of the building or from other buildings. Molds are made of remaining ornamental pieces and new pieces are then cast in colored concrete.
Bravo Renovation does extensive work on brick homes, from laying and installing new brick facades to stripping,washing, repointing and restoring old brick facades. Paint is stripped from painted brick with a heavy duty paint stripper (Type D by Prosoco), which cuts through multiple layers of paint build up. It is applied by hand, and allowed to set for 24 hours. The paint will then be flushed from the masonry with pressure water spray at a pressure rate that does not harm the brick. Pedestrians and surrounding buildings are protected with heavy coverings. In any masonry structure the mortar in the joints between bricks or stones eventually deteriorates. In order to retain the stones or bricks in place and to prevent water infiltration, missing mortar should be replaced. Re-pointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from the joints of the masonry wall and replacing it, creating a watertight seal. Mortar is tinted to achieve a close match to existing mortar colors.
