Professional masonry services for Port Washington homeowners. Waterfront community, North Shore
Port Washington's peninsula setting on Cow Neck — with neighborhoods ranging from waterfront estates along Sands Point Road to the vibrant village center on Main Street — demands masonry that performs in both coastal and sheltered environments. Brothers Paving & Masonry serves the full range of Port Washington masonry needs, from chimney rebuilds on harbor-facing Victorians to stone veneer transformations on mid-century homes in Manorhaven and Beacon Hill.
Our Port Washington masonry services include chimney rebuilds and cap work, brick facade repointing and tuckpointing, stone veneer installation, stoop and entry rebuilds, custom columns, stone cap and coping replacement, mortar repair, and structural masonry rehabilitation. We work with brick, bluestone, limestone, fieldstone, brownstone, and manufactured veneer — matching materials to each home's style and coastal exposure level.
Every Port Washington project starts with an assessment that accounts for the property's position on the peninsula. Homes closer to the harbor receive marine-grade specifications, while inland properties receive standard weatherproofing details — ensuring appropriate protection without unnecessary cost.
Port Washington occupies the Cow Neck peninsula, with Manhasset Bay to the east and Hempstead Harbor to the west. This dual-water exposure creates salt-air conditions that affect masonry throughout the community, though severity varies significantly from the waterfront to the inland core. Brothers Paving calibrates our material selections and waterproofing details to each property's specific exposure level.
The community's architectural diversity is exceptional — Victorian and Craftsman homes near the village center, mid-century colonials and ranches in the surrounding neighborhoods, waterfront estates along the harbor, and new construction on infill lots throughout. Each style presents different masonry challenges. Victorian homes need ornamental brick restoration. Mid-century homes often need chimney rebuilds and stoop replacements. Waterfront properties require marine-grade construction throughout.
Port Washington's active real estate market — with homes ranging from $600,000 to $5 million or more — makes masonry condition a significant factor in property value. Buyers notice deteriorated chimneys, crumbling stoops, and stained brick facades. A professional masonry restoration or veneer upgrade provides immediate visual impact and directly supports asking price.
Port Washington falls under the Town of North Hempstead for building permits. Structural masonry work requires permits and inspections. Brothers Paving manages all permitting requirements.

Learn MorePort Washington's peninsula position creates a gradient of salt-air exposure from the waterfront to the inland core. Properties within a quarter mile of either harbor face moderate to significant salt deposition that accelerates mortar deterioration. We specify water-resistant mortar and stainless steel hardware for waterfront and near-waterfront properties. Inland properties receive standard exterior-grade specifications. The peninsula's hilly terrain — particularly along the Sands Point Road corridor and the bluffs above Manorhaven — creates drainage considerations for retaining walls and below-grade masonry. We engineer proper drainage behind all retaining structures.
Real projects we've completed for Port Washington homeowners.
Rebuilt a deteriorated chimney and front stoop on a 1940s Colonial with harbor views. Used marine-grade mortar throughout, installed copper chimney flashing, poured a new reinforced crown, and rebuilt the stoop with poured concrete structure, brick veneer matching the home's facade, and bluestone treads.
Scope: Chimney rebuild, stoop reconstruction, brick veneer, bluestone treads
Installed 350 square feet of natural ledgestone veneer on the front foundation and chimney chase of a 1960s split-level. Built two matching stone column wraps at the front entry. The transformation elevated the home from a standard mid-century appearance to a premium stone-accented facade.
Scope: 350 sq ft veneer, chimney chase, 2 column wraps
