We're industry specialists, and we offer services other contractors can't, such as blue stone sidewalk and curb repair. This is a unique and specific task, and the job requires an expert with training, skills, and experience.
Although the finished product is nothing short of exquisite, it takes a professional with expertise working with the material to get the job done correctly. As the property owner, you should also be aware of the upkeep that's required, so you know what you're agreeing to.
Benefits of Using Blue Stone
Unlike getting to know more about a service like concrete repair, you're probably not as familiar with blue stone as concrete. Whether you're having it installed, buying a property that currently has it, or still contemplating it, we're here to help.
Before you're in a position to need blue stone sidewalk and curb repair, you're probably questioning why you should choose this stone in the first place. Aside from it's exceptional quality for visual aesthetics, its also popular because:
- Residential and Commercial Applications
- Versatility and Durability
- Natural Stone
- Long-Lasting
- Cost-Effective
Sealing this stone will do wonders for helping to protect against foot traffic, scratches, stains, and the elements in general. However, with or without a sealer, at some point, you'll need to get repairs for the walkway and curbs.
Knowing you have Brooklyn Sidewalk Repair on your side to take care of repairs makes all of the difference. We promise to go the extra mile and deliver quality work for your blue stone sidewalks and curbs.
Our Blue Stone Repair Services
Bluestone is not poured like concrete — it is set stone by stone, so repairing it correctly takes a different skill set. Depending on the condition of your walkway, we offer three levels of service:
- Bluestone reset — When the stones are sound but have settled or lifted, we carefully remove them, re-level and sand the base, then relay and grout the original stones back into place.
- Individual stone replacement — We replace broken or missing stones with the closest available match. Because bluestone is a natural material, an exact color match on new stone cannot be guaranteed.
- Full bluestone replacement — When all the stones are damaged, or when the Landmarks Preservation Commission requires it, we replace the entire walkway in bluestone. This is the most involved and highest-cost option.
Where the LPC permits it, pigmented (dark gray) concrete can be an approved, lower-cost alternative that mimics the look of bluestone. We will tell you during the estimate whether that is an option for your property.
Bluestone on Landmark Properties
Many of Brooklyn's bluestone sidewalks sit on landmark-designated blocks, and that carries a strict rule: if bluestone is there now, bluestone generally has to stay. On an individual landmark property the LPC will not allow the material to be swapped out for standard concrete — think of it as restoring a protected monument rather than replacing it. We handle the LPC paperwork and make sure the repair meets preservation requirements.
We're known for our expertise and commitment to high-quality work and look forward to working for you. Call us today and find out more about the blue stone sidewalk and curb repair you need for your Brooklyn property.
