- B N D 1 CONSTRUCTION were amazing to work with. They understood what I wanted and met all of my needs. Their price was better than the other quotes that received. I wouldn't hesitate to call them back for another job. Brownstone faced renovation don't have to be painful. Call B N D 1 CONSTRUCTION for an estimate. You won't be disappointed!- STEVEN
- I hired B&D CONSTRUCTION to repair Brownstone stoops, and a platform in the front of my rental home; front and back. They also repaired stucco and windows around the house; scraping repairing and painting walls and windows. His team took great pride in their work as evidenced in the completed project. The final project was awesome!
B&D CONSTRUCTION is now my new go to company and I would refer them to anyone in need.- JUDY

Brownstone: A Little History
…In the period prior to the 1830’s or so, most of the rowhouses being constructed in New York had either brick or wood facades. Alternatives such as marble existed, of course, but these were far too costly for most homeowners to consider, especially since the stone had to be cut by hand and transported long distances. With the growth of the new urban middle class came a desire for something more sophisticated in appearance than simple brick, and more durable than wood. Brownstone, a type of sandstone, was readily available from quarries located in New Jersey and Connecticut. A form of sedimentary rock which frequently contains fossilized footprints of prehistoric animals, it owed its unique dark brown color to high concentrations of iron, which turned color with exposure to water. Using barges, it could be shipped easily to New York, where it quickly became popular. In Brooklyn, brownstone houses could be found anywhere from Bedford Stuyvessant to Brooklyn Heights and Carroll Gardens. Houses themselves were not constructed of brownstone, but rather a veneer less than a foot thick was placed on the front of each home, which was actually constructed of brick. The mark of a good brownstone mason was his ability to cut and assemble the blocks of a facade so carefully that it almost appeared to be a single mass of stone.
