Your Local Masonry & Stonework Experts in Kips Bay
If you're in Kips Bay and need masonry & stonework, Prime Restoration & Construction is your local expert. We've been serving Manhattan County and the surrounding areas for over 25 years, and our crews know Kips Bay properties inside and out.
Manhattan's co-ops, condos, and pre-war walk-ups present a different set of challenges than a typical single-family home — shared walls, tight service elevators, building management approval, and strict co-op board requirements shape how restoration and renovation work gets done. Many buildings are decades or even a century old, with original plumbing and plaster walls that require specialized techniques. We coordinate directly with building management and boards, work within service elevator windows, and bring the documentation co-op and condo boards typically require before any work begins.
When you call Prime, you get a team that understands the specific challenges facing Kips Bay homeowners. We're licensed, insured, and available 24/7 for emergencies. Call us at 631-922-9900 or request a free quote online.

Client Reviews
What Our Manhattan County Clients Say
“Our basement flooded at 2 AM during a Nor'easter. Prime had a crew here within an hour, extracted all the water, and set up drying equipment. They handled the entire insurance claim for us. Couldn't believe how fast and professional they were.”
Michael R.
Bohemia, NY
“We researched five contractors before choosing Prime, and we're so glad we did. They designed and built our dream kitchen — custom cabinets, quartz countertops, the works. The project was on time, on budget, and the craftsmanship is incredible.”
Jennifer D.
Massapequa, NY
“A kitchen fire caused smoke damage throughout our entire home. Prime handled everything — board-up, soot removal, odor elimination, and the full rebuild. You'd never know there was a fire. They worked directly with our insurance and kept us informed every step.”

Our Process
How Masonry & Stonework Works in Kips Bay
Design & Site Prep
We assess your site, discuss design options and material choices, and prepare the base — excavation, grading, and proper drainage layers that prevent settling and cracking.
Masonry Construction
We install the base material, lay the brick or stone with proper mortar mix and joint technique, and ensure correct pitch for water runoff on flatwork.
Finishing & Sealing
We clean all surfaces, apply sealer where appropriate to protect against staining and water penetration, and walk through the completed work with you.
FAQ
Masonry Questions in Kips Bay
A properly installed stone or brick patio with correct base preparation and drainage can last 30-50+ years. The key is the base — improper base preparation is the #1 reason patios settle, crack, or heave. We excavate to the proper depth, install geotextile fabric, and use the right base material and compaction for Long Island's soil conditions.
Yes. We handle all types of masonry repair — repointing deteriorated mortar joints in brick walls, repairing cracked chimneys, fixing spalling concrete, resetting loose pavers, and restoring historic stonework. Repointing is particularly important on Long Island — deteriorated mortar lets water into your walls, which freezes and expands in winter, accelerating damage.
Retaining wall costs vary widely based on height, length, material, and site conditions. A basic concrete block wall might start at $40-$60 per square foot, while a natural stone wall can range from $80-$150+ per square foot. We provide a detailed estimate after assessing your site, soil, and drainage needs.
