Brownstone Facade Contractor
We need to have our wood cornice repaired and painted and the front of our four story brownstone completely redone. We were going to use Jose - Costa's relative but he has NO Worker Comp. Insurance. Can anyone recommend a reasonable price contractor for this work?

You may want to consider GFRC cornice or a fiberglass cornice. I have some experience with Stromberg and they have done a lot of replacement cornice work for some very high end jobs as well as residences.
