KW Construction restores aging exteriors to their original strength and character while meeting today’s codes. From brick repointing and terracotta/cornice repairs to parapet reconstruction, our teams work with engineered methods, strict site safety, and careful material matching to preserve architectural details.
Whether it’s a landmark on the Upper West Side or a mid-rise along the High Line, we manage the full cycle—assessment, permits, access (sidewalk sheds, suspended scaffolds), repair, and finish. The result: safer façades, tighter envelopes, and longer service life with minimal disruption to occupants.
What this includes
How do I know if my building needs parapet work?
Warning signs include loose or spalled masonry, open mortar joints, water staining, or visible movement. Our inspection will document conditions and prioritize repairs.
Can you work on landmarked buildings?
Yes. We coordinate with LPC, match historic materials/profiles, and submit drawings, samples, and mockups for approvals.
Will tenants need to vacate?
Rarely. Most façade/parapet work is performed from exterior access (sheds, pipe scaffolds, swings). We schedule noisy or intrusive tasks to reduce disruption.
What’s the typical timeline?
After assessment and permitting, small repairs may take weeks; multi-elevation restorations can run several months. We provide a phasing plan and milestones up front.
