I’m going to get the steps of my painted brick house brownstoned – they’re a mess. I’m also going to paint and do some repair work on the wood trim. Should I get one person to do that – a mason – or hire a mason and an outdoor painter? I’ve heard good things about Prates Plastering for painting and Abedin for masonry work – do I need to hire both? Any thoughts greatly appreciated. If I do hire both, who comes first?

  1. The company i have dealt with is the president of Innovation Construction. Mr. Hosay. i have been a fan of him. his work is quality and he is dependable. honest.and plus his prices are affordable. i had him worked for my facade work. he pressure washed our building and restored the stoop,also some painting. and now it looks amazing. you can reach him at 718-666-7679. don’t forget to mention him that Louis from Fulton street referred you. wish you good luck on your project. here my email so you can contact for more

  2. I agree with the others on hiring one contractor. Since you are looking for masonry and painting…Patrick is the guy. I am sure he will give you a good bid with quality of work. Why pay more if you don’t have to and get the same service. Call him at 1646-945-7315. Trust me you will get a good deal I surely did.

  3. I suggest that you go with one contractor as well since you will get a better deal overall but I suggest you call High-Tech construction since they are brownstone specialists. They have done many jobs for me and the price is unbeatable. The High-Tech team worked personally to make a budget plan that worked for me. They have done many projects for my company. The results are amazing!!! You can reach them at 1347-792-1266. good luck!!!!!!!!

  4. Hey there. I would suggest you go with one contractor. I second the z. abedin recs. i’ve been a fan of the guy since getting crazy quotes from others. he can certainly handle the painting. you will likely get a better overall total price by going with one person.

    that said, if you have a specialized woodworking need, go with an expert. May cost more but you will be happier in the end.
