Recommendations for brownstone facade?

Has anyone had experience with MLA Construction (advertiser on this site) or Innovation Construction (also an advertiser)? Any first-hand experiences would be much appreciated. Thanks

I used Excellent contracting corp. to restore the facade of my brownstone. The work was recently finished and I am very happy with the work that they have done. I strongly recommend inspecting the previous jobs of any company before pulling the trigger. Excellent contracting corp. advertises on brownstoner.

Anthony the Mason, 347 307 4725\. Came highly recommended from this forum. We used his services for brownstone façade, steps and courtyard restoration. We are landmark, and he did all the permitting for us. Really skilled mason! Good luck

I used Innovation Construction to repair some cracks in our facade and I’m not crazy about the finished product. Although I was aware that the color would not match exactly, it’s not even close. When I asked about it at the time, they assured me that the color would lighten as it cured over time. It’s been more than one year later and it looks pretty much the same.
