Old Town: 1661 and still working.

Oude Dorp. 1661. The first permanent European settlement on Staten Island. The streets in Old Town still wind on the colonial-era contour — small-scale residential, mid-century brick homes, Cape Cod-style houses, two-story townhouses, small multifamily walk-ups. The 1937 Old Town SIR station anchors the neighborhood, still in its original metal canopy with the white-on-black enamel signage.

We're 20 to 25 minutes east-southeast via the SI Expressway → Richmond Road or Old Town Road.Jobsite delivery on big orders — call the shop to arrange it.

What the neighborhood actually buys: older-home restoration, mid-century brick remodel, small apartment-building maintenance, classic Cape and townhouse work. None of this is glamorous. All of it is steady.

Mid-century brick repair has a known list. Masonry pointing, brick veneer repair, chimney and parapet work. The Carhartt double-front canvas pants the masons live in, the Wolverine waterproofs for the wet-pour days, the Cougar Paws for the parapet and chimney work, hi-vis class 2 minimum any time you're working off a sidewalk shed.

Cape Cod and townhouse remodelers want the daily-driver kit. Wolverine Floorhand or Timberland Pro Pit Boss 6-inch, Carhartt rugged flex dungarees, knee pads, hammer holders, the Bosch oscillating tools at the counter. Roofers on the older Capes want Cougar Paws or the Thorogood American-made roofer.

Apartment-building walk-up maintenance — supers and contracted repair crews — buy the consumables in volume. Cut gloves and nitrile by the case, dust masks by the box, the Klein and Knipex pliers we keep at the counter, replacement Bosch and Makita oscillating tool blades.

Old Town contractors run small. Three to six guys, doing the rotation through the brick blocks. Fleet account opens at five items — volume pricing, delivery to the truck.

Custom embroidery on polos, softshells, and beanies — what the neighborhood remodelers ask for. In-house, no minimums.

Old neighborhood. Old work. Same delivery.
