Want Brownstone Doors


After many years of looking for old doors, we decided to have our own built and are thrilled with the results. We hired Nelson Zavela nrz1970@aol.com or 646 420 6572 who was lovely and talented and had a great work ethic. If you decide to hire him, ask him for references, we’re happy to talk more.

Weatherizing My Brownstone


I’m wondering if anyone has experience with weatherization (not windows, we’ve done that) but insulating roofs and other areas (what are they)? I’d love to know what you did, if it’s helped lower heating bills, what contractors you used and if you know if there is any government assistance available to help with this.

Cheap but Good-Looking Doors?


Hello, we need to replace our doors. The previous owner took out the b’stone doors, closed off the arc, and put in standard doors. We can’t afford brownstone doors — does anyone know of off-the-shelf doors that would blend in to a brownstone?
