Serving Staten Island Since 2014
Stone is the finish people notice. A stone-faced front changes how the whole block reads a Staten Island house, and a bluestone walkway or a real stone wall does the same in the backyard. But stone is unforgiving of a bad install. NDCCNY has done stonework across Staten Island since 2014, in both natural stone and manufactured veneer. The difference between stone that looks like it grew there and stone that looks stuck on is all in the prep, the drainage, and the setting. We build the backing the stone needs, then set and point it so it stays put. Our own crew does the work.
We are a licensed and insured masonry contractor based in Bulls Head, central Staten Island, working in both natural stone and manufactured veneer. We build the structure and drainage the stone needs, which is what stone jobs live or die on, then set and point it to last. You get honest guidance on which material fits, a free on-site assessment, a written estimate within 24 hours, and work we stand behind. NYC Home Improvement Contractor license #2127843-DCWP.
We work in both, and we give you honest guidance on which one fits your project, not whatever we happen to stock.
Stone veneer gets the correct backing and moisture barrier, and heavy natural stone gets a wall or footing built to carry it.
Drainage behind the wall is the number-one reason stone walls fail, so we build it in from the start.

OUR STONEWORK SERVICES
We install stone veneer on house facades, structural stone retaining walls, bluestone walkways, patios and porches, stone steps and stoops, stone columns and piers, caps and sills, and we reset and repoint loose or failed stone.
Why Choose NDCCNY for Stonework
Stone lasts for generations when it is set right and fails fast when it is not. Stone veneer needs the correct backing, moisture barrier, and support, and heavy natural stone needs a wall or footing built to carry it. A retaining wall lives or dies on drainage behind it. Stone is set and pointed with mortar suited to the stone and the exposure, and flashing keeps water that gets behind a facade moving back out. Get the structure, drainage, and setting right and stone is the most permanent finish on the property.

TESTIMONIAL
We set stone across Staten Island, working out of Bulls Head. If your street is not named below, call anyway. Odds are good we have already built a wall or a walkway nearby.
Mid-Island jobs take us to Bulls Head, Todt Hill, Emerson Hill and Dongan Hills. On the North Shore we are regularly in St. George, Grymes Hill and New Brighton. On the South Shore we work in Great Kills, Prince’s Bay, Annadale and Tottenville.
Brooklyn jobs in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights are part of the mix too, along with select projects in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Stone prices run wider than almost anything else we build. Natural stone and manufactured veneer sit far apart on cost, and the structure behind the stone can double a job. These are the ranges we have been quoting Staten Island homeowners this year. A real number comes after we see the wall or the yard.
| Stonework service | Typical scope | 2026 price range |
|---|---|---|
| Manufactured stone veneer, facade or accent wall | per square foot | $28 - $48 |
| Natural stone facade | per square foot | $55 - $95 |
| Bluestone walkway or patio, dry-laid on a base | per square foot | $22 - $38 |
| Bluestone walkway or patio, wet-laid on a slab | per square foot | $38 - $65 |
| Stone retaining wall, about 3 ft high | per linear foot | $190 - $380 |
| Stone steps or stoop, stone-faced | per step | $650 - $1,400 |
| Stone column or pier | each | $1,800 - $4,500 |
| Reset loose stone and repoint failed joints | per job | $900 - $3,800 |
Natural stone is the biggest swing. A full natural facade can cost twice what the same wall costs in manufactured veneer, and a retaining wall that needs a poured footing and drainage stone behind it costs more than one that does not. These are working ranges, and every quote is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

| Retaining wall, per 20 linear feet | 3 - 5 days |

Stone does not rush. Special order natural stone is usually the longest wait on the job, and we would rather hold a start date than set stone we are not happy with. You get a firm schedule in the written estimate.
If it is the joints that are failing and not the stone itself, our brick pointing page covers repointing. Stone treads and stoops are covered on our front steps page, and for brick, block and chimney work see our masonry contractor and brickwork pages.
