Local expertise
Why Bay Shore masonry has to be built right.
Bay Shore is a south-shore Islip community with a busy village core, waterfront homes along the Great South Bay, and a wide mix of housing from historic Victorians through postwar capes and newer custom builds. Masonry work here spans chimney rebuilds and brick repointing in the older village, stone-veneer front entrances on postwar upgrades, fieldstone retaining walls, and salt-exposure-tolerant stone work on the waterfront lots.
South Shore Islip neighborhoods sit close to the Great South Bay with high water tables, salt air and heavy coastal storms. Water that sits behind a wall or under a step is the number one enemy of masonry here.
Expect post-war ranches, expanded capes and a lot of post-Sandy raised homes. Raised homes mean taller entry stairs and landings, which we build with poured footings, block cores and stone or paver treads.
Salt and constant moisture eat through weak mortar fast. We use air-entrained concrete, polymer-modified mortar and sealed caps so stoops, piers and walls survive the bay climate.
Bay Shore is Town of Islip jurisdiction. Waterfront lots need salt-and-freeze-rated stone, brick, and mortar. Older village homes often benefit from repointing rather than a full masonry rebuild.
