Yep.
As for Edson, when I worked with them, 20 or more years ago on the former
Cousinly Estate in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, they had a very good reputation
as far as stucco repair of brownstone, and general repairs of
Brownstones. As I think about it, they were referred to now
-ex-Cousin-in-Law Karen (via me) by none other than the great and powerful Clem
(OHJ) Labine. Don't know if Edson is still under the same ownership, and
they probably no longer have the same bunch of mechanics, but they were good
guys back then.
Either you live with deteriorated brownstone and watch it continue to
deteriorate; you schmear it so it looks sort of alright for awhile; or you take
it out and replace it. But not many people can afford to replace it with
new brownstone, even if you could (a) get the stone and (b) get it carved and
(c) get it installed.
