Long Island's Premier Masonry Repair & Restoration Contractor
Long Island’s housing stock includes some of the most beautiful historic masonry in the region — grand colonial and tudor-style homes, stone cottages, brick estates, and century-old commercial buildings that deserve to be preserved rather than patched and forgotten. Melfi Masonry has been providing comprehensive masonry repair and restoration services to Nassau County homeowners and property owners for over 35 years. We understand the difference between a cosmetic repair and a true restoration — and we have the skills to deliver both.
Masonry restoration is a broad discipline that encompasses far more than replacing a few bricks or repointing a section of wall. It includes diagnosing the root cause of deterioration — whether that’s water infiltration, structural movement, improper past repairs, or simply the passage of time — and addressing those causes as part of the repair. A restoration that treats only the visible symptom without understanding the underlying cause will fail again. Our process begins with a thorough assessment and an honest discussion of what your masonry needs before any work begins.
Our masonry restoration services include brick replacement and facade restoration, repointing and tuckpointing with historically appropriate mortars, chimney rebuilding and crown repair, stone wall restoration, brownstone and stucco repair, lintel and arch rebuilding, historic home and “brownstone repair, waterproofing treatment. We work carefully on historic properties to preserve original character — matching brick color and texture, replicating original mortar joint profiles, and sourcing materials that are compatible with the age and construction method of the original structure.
We also handle structural masonry repairs — stabilizing bowing walls, rebuilding collapsed sections, installing helical ties or wall anchors where needed, and addressing settlement cracks that require more than just patching. When a masonry problem has a structural dimension, we identify it and make a clear recommendation. We work with structural engineers when the situation warrants it, and we won’t oversell a complex solution for a problem that a targeted masonry repair can solve.
Whether your property needs targeted brick repairs, a full facade restoration, or comprehensive rehabilitation of a historic structure, Melfi Masonry brings the experience, attention to detail, and commitment to quality that Long Island’s finest homes deserve.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Masonry Repair FAQs
What's the difference between masonry repair and masonry restoration?
Masonry repair addresses specific damaged elements — replacing a spalling brick, repointing a section of wall, patching a crack. Masonry restoration takes a more comprehensive approach — assessing the overall condition of a structure, identifying all causes of deterioration, and systematically rehabilitating the masonry to restore both its appearance and long-term performance. Many projects involve elements of both, and we’ll help you understand which scope is appropriate for your property.
How do you match historic brick that's no longer manufactured?
Can you restore brownstone or sandstone facades?
Yes. Brownstone and sandstone are more fragile than traditional brick and require specialized repair techniques. We use compatible repair mortars and brownstone patching compounds that match the original material’s texture and color. It’s critically important that any cleaning or repair method used on brownstone is gentle enough not to damage the remaining original material — aggressive cleaning or patching with incompatible materials can do more harm than the original deterioration.
Do you provide a warranty on masonry restoration work?
Yes. We stand behind our restoration work and provide a warranty on labor and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the scope and nature of the project — a targeted brick repair carries different considerations than a full facade restoration. We discuss warranty coverage clearly before any work begins so you know exactly what’s covered. Our reputation on Long Island is built on repeat clients and referrals, and we have every incentive to make sure our work performs for years after we leave the job.
