    If it's a smallish job, my handyman, Sammy, can handle it I'm sure.  He repointed most of the bricks in my brownstone basement recently.  He can be reached at 347-336-0589.

    I had Aahmodiyahi Home improvement re-point a portion of my rear facade.  They did a fantastic job at a reasonable price.  I'd use them again.  Call Taz - 347-934-1989.  Taz is a carpender/contractor and his dad is a very skilled mason.  I've recommended them on this site before and also recommended them to neighbors who have used them and been happy with the work performed.

    If your bricks are over 100 years old you will need to make sure you are getting lime-based mortar and not cement.  Cement will crack your bricks in two.  Anyone who tells you different is lying or incompetent.   Browntone Authority is great.
