Preserving Brooklyn’s Heritage One Brick at a Time in Crown Heights

In Crown Heights, the streets are lined with historic brownstones, limestone row houses, and majestic apartment buildings, each with unique architectural features that demand expert attention. Homeowners here often seek masonry professionals who understand not just how to lay brick, but how to preserve and enhance the elegance of 19th- and early 20th-century construction. At Khan Home Improvement, we’ve spent over 36 years serving the Crown Heights community, providing custom masonry services that maintain the aesthetic integrity of these beautiful homes while reinforcing their structure for future generations. From detailed brickpointing on century-old façades to stone restoration that blends seamlessly with the original material, we specialize in work that’s as durable as it is historically accurate.

We’ve had experiences where clients in Crown Heights come to us after less experienced contractors have caused more harm than good—using mismatched mortar colors, grinding down bricks unnecessarily, or cutting corners on waterproofing. These mistakes are not only costly to fix, but they also devalue the home’s curb appeal and structural integrity. That’s why we approach every Crown Heights project with a commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and respect for the building’s legacy. Whether you’re restoring a brownstone façade or repairing a weatherworn stoop, Khan Home Improvement delivers expert solutions tailored to the character of this architecturally rich neighborhood.
