Historic & older buildings

The one crew in town that can match old masonry

We repair, restore, and maintain historic masonry and concrete to the standards set by the Department of the Interior and State Historic Preservation Offices.

When a building needs a mortar or a stone that no longer comes off a shelf, we match it. We identify the original materials, replicate them, and use the time-tested methods older masonry actually calls for, from lime mortar and lime plaster to terra cotta and carved-stone replication.

Rated 4.6 across 31 Google reviews

The theme in the reviews is the same one that matters most in masonry: the new work matches the old, and the site stays clean.

They tuckpointed and repaired bad brick on one wall and totally rebuilt another, side by side. I was anxious the two walls would not match; they matched the new brick to the existing so you cannot tell which is new from the street. The area was kept neat at the end of each day.

We had a brick courtyard and wing walls in need of restoration. Joshua was timely and transparent on the estimate and upfront about cost and time. Tom, our project lead, was on time and checked in throughout. The result met our expectations in every way.

After foundation work we had a brick wall collapsing on the front of the house. Josh responded promptly, removed the entire wall safely, and rebuilt it so it looked like it was never damaged. Neighbors who hired other guys have bold lines running through their masonry. Josh has the experience to make your home look great.

Tuckpointing, foundation repair, and a decorative brick wall rehab. The owner did the estimate and was knowledgeable about what we needed and did not need, so the estimate felt fair. They arrived when they said they would and kept the yard clean. Very happy with the quality.
