If you are taking off the existing surface (down to the beams) you will need a permit. You must hire a architect to draw up plans and submit to Buildings Dept for approval. Once the plan is approved the GC can pull the permits.

Bluestone can be set in Sand or Cement. Sand is cheaper and stones can be replaced easily if damaged. If you have good earthly drainage, sand is fine. I dont recommend a concrete base. Over time, the concrete may crack and along with it, the bluestone will crack. If the area has bad drainage, then concrete is the way to go. The stone would be set to allow for the proper water run off.

If the seller agrees, you can obtain permits with their signatures. This is done quite often. Our company demo'd a 55000 SF warehouse while in contract. Time is money. The more work the owners were able to get done before closing saved them a lot of interest.

Don't use a regular Paint Sprayer. You need to rent a HVLP Sprayer (High Velocity Low Pressure). Also called a Fine Finish Sprayer. Practice on a scrap piece of wood until you get the technique down. Watch the overspray!!!!

You can paint plank wood flooring. Be sure to fill in all the cracks with a decent wood putty first. Its best to use a oil base semi gloss paint.

My folks have had a bluestone patio on a sand and stone dust bed that has held up perfectly since the early 80s. It looks and wears far better than concrete. It's also much more amenable to a DIY approach if you're interested.

Posted by: jb312 at October 3, 2008 9:42 AM in response to Patio - Cement or not?

to clarify my answer and address " cmu "

"Why use concrete and then put in a drainpipe to our overloaded sewers?"

not all drains are attached to the sewer main, i try and drain water to the back of a bldg lot, ideally to an area used as a garden.

" If you let it drain naturally through sand, you won't need a pipe at all. "

each project is unique, if the bldg is already getting water in the basement from the backyard during heavy rains { not an unusual thing in Park Slope } you need to remedy that when installing a patio. There are some great comments above on how one can go about doing this.

Lucky you that your patio works and your basement is dry, enjoy your latte.

Posted by: HandymanEric at October 3, 2008 10:20 PM in response to Patio - Cement or not?

My landscaping company has done quite a few stone patio installations in Brooklyn and we always do sand.

In Brooklyn the ground goes through several freeze/thaw cycles every winter. When concrete freezes is expands, when it thaws it contracts. This will cause the stones to crack. With sand this is not an issue.

If you go with a sand bed make sure you do a good job of grading and compacting the soil before you lay your rock. It will make a big difference in the final product.

And in answer to BoerumHill's question yes, you need to grade before you lay down your rock. Ideally your yard should be graded to slope away from your house whether you have a patio or not.

Posted by: nebrait at October 5, 2008 7:25 AM in response to Patio - Cement or not?

HandymanEric makes a good point when he says every project is unique.

I'm a big fan of the French Drain. It's such a simple, low tech solution and in many situations works as well or better than more complicated, more expensive solutions.

We had some outdoor work done by Transcend construction this past summer (waterproofing, cement, pointing, etc) and recommend them. They were fast and fair.

It could be that your low water pressure problem is being entirely or partly caused by a buildup of scale deposits inside of the pipe(s), that could restrict water flow.

Hi Brybrybry,

Just read your post and although have not heard of the contractor you are going to use, but wanted to mention that I just renovated my one bedroom apartment and used J Thomas Construction. They are based in Brooklyn and I can't say enough great things about them. They were honest, fast, reliable and gave the best customer service along the way.

The owner is JT Stewart (917) 699 - 3810. Browse their site too www.jthomasnyc.com to get an idea of the quality. I highly recommend these guys.
