Historic Restoration

Preserving the Past with Expert Historic Masonry Restoration

Historic buildings are protected for a reason. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

We don’t have the craftsmen, the materials, or the economics to build them again. What we can do is preserve what’s still standing.

The biggest threat to a historic building isn’t age — it’s a bad repair. Incompatible materials, even when installed with the best intentions, have the worst consequences.

We do mortar analysis to match what’s already there in color, composition and strength. The goal is a repair you can’t find when it’s done. Not one that announces itself from across the street.

Historic restoration is hard to appreciate because when done correctly, it’s money that seems to disappear. Spending good money to make a building look the way it did fifty to a hundred years ago isn’t exciting and doesn’t feel like anything gained. But being a custodian of history isn’t about getting excited over what’s new. It’s about respecting the past and preserving it for the future. It’s a responsibility.

If you’re responsible for a historic property, we’d like to help you keep it standing for the next hundred years. Ask us about how masonry and concrete cleaning and waterproofing can protect your investment.
