Exteriors are our Business...
​​​​
​Exterior building restoration is not just for aesthetics alone. The cause of facade problems can be due to poor design, improper installation, corrosion from moisture, excessive water penetration into the cavity between the facade and the backup, freeze/thaw damage, and poor exterior wall maintenance. The loss of support or weakening of anchoring systems can result in falling debris, a hazard to property as well as pedestrians.
​
The NY and NJ Department of Buildings continue to adjust, revise and update requirements for maintaining building facades. Working closely with engineers and architects, we perform a variety of repair types in conjunction with the Facade Inspection and Safety Program. These include:
​
* Rigging and scaffolding installations
* Sidewalk bridge installations
* Examinations, probes, material-testing and water-testing
* Masonry Restoration (brick replacement, joint restoration, pinning and stucco)
* Stone Restoration (custom fabrication and patching)
* Roofing / Coatings (single/multi-ply, fluid applied, tapered insulation and pavers)
* Concrete Restoration (patching, pinning, deck in-fill, eye-brow repair & GFRC)
* Stripping and coatings (all surfaces)
* Curtain Wall (cleaning, sealant repair and waterproofing)
* Metal Cladding (bulkheads and parapet walls)
* High pressure cleaning
* Fiberglass (decorative elements and cornices)
* Lintel and relieving angle replacement (steel, masonry and stone)
* Waterproofing (joint sealant, silicone seal and expansion joints)
* Asbestos Contaminated Material / ACM (testing and removal)
* Emergency Response: 24 Hours/7 Days

Unlike a manufacturer who utilizes one specific system, we offer most major roofing systems. We recommend and install the right roof for your building, climate and budget, including: Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS), (TPO & PVC), EPDM (Rubber Roofing Systems), SPF (Spray Polyurethane Foam) and BUR/Modified Bitumen and Coatings. Emergency roof repairs can be scheduled immediately. In additIon to roofing, BNS also performs Pavers installation.

BNS specializes in masonry trade. Our experience includes all types of project. Whether it is a new construction or restoration of an existing building, our professional and well trained labor provides highest level of quality work. Masonry work includes but is not limited to; brick installation, brick replacement, repointing, stone repairs, brick crack repairs, lintel replacement, CMU installation, brick parapet reconstruction, corner rebuild and concrete repairs.

At BNS, we collaborate with owners, architects, structural engineers and contractors to evaluate each project’s unique requirement and engineer mixes to meet their needs. Selecting the optimum mix for a job entails determining not only the ingredients that will produce the desired permeability, strength, appearance and other properties of the concrete after it has hardened and cured, but also the ingredients necessary to achieve a workable consistency considering the weather and other conditions at the job site.
