Concord Restoration

Concord Restoration sits in the gray zone between preventive upkeep and full-scale rehab, where yellowing trim meets modern sheetrock and entire façades are brought back to code. Think turn-of-the-century brownstones with fresh lintels, pre-war lobbies scrubbed down to original plaster, or accidental water damage quietly corrected before it rots beams. The craft has changed—today’s crews pair survey-grade scans with traditional lime mortars—but the goal stays the same: erase the ravages of time without rewriting the history book. The shop is tucked inside a mid-rise at 43-01 22nd St #528, Long Island City, elevators depositing visitors on the fifth floor. Large-format architectural drawings often lean against the wall, pagers echo from work boots, and slow-growing stains are treated, not blamed on poor maintenance. Call (212) 523-0344 to set a site walk; the crew shows up with moisture probes, drill-mounted borescopes, and enough documentation forms to satisfy any co-op board. Masonry repointing, interior plaster repair, ornamental plaster casting, terracotta unit replacement, brownstone façade cleaning—there’s no trophy job too small. After a few follow-up emails, the team packs up and vanishes down the service stairs before residents have finished their coffee. A quick visit to the directions link leads you straight to the freight elevator landing. Bring a photo of the damaged cornice and you’ll already be ahead of the game.
