john's restoration
About
Upper East Side side streets have a way of hiding the working trades. John’s Restoration is one of those quiet operators that keeps the neighborhood’s older buildings standing—brick by brick, floorboard by floorboard.
They specialize in fire and water damage repair, historic masonry, plasterwork, and structural carpentry; the kind of work that doesn’t make headlines but keeps brownstones from sagging and co-ops from leaking. Their office is at 319 E 91st St #11, New York, NY 10128, tucked above a storefront that still looks like it did in the ’80s.
Most jobs start with an emergency call, then move to mold remediation, drywall replacement, and matching original trim profiles. They also handle permits and insurance paperwork, which can feel like its own restoration project. When the scaffolding comes down, the goal is for the building to look like nothing ever happened—just older, drier, and a little more square.
Add contact info once near the end: call (347) 334-6906. For directions, check the map. Nobody plans on needing them, but when the ceiling starts dripping, it’s good to know the number’s local.
