What is Historic Masonry?

Historic masonry refers to the traditional use of stone, brick, and lime-based mortar in older buildings, showcasing craftsmanship and techniques that reflect the architecture of their time. Preserving this masonry is essential to maintaining the structural integrity, character, and cultural significance of historic structures. Proper restoration not only honors the past but also supports sustainability by conserving original materials and extending the life of these irreplaceable landmarks.

Benefits of Hiring a Historic Masonry Specialist

Authentic Restoration

 Specialists understand traditional materials and techniques, ensuring that repairs match the original construction in appearance and performance.

​

Preservation of Value

 Proper restoration preserves the historical and architectural integrity of a building, which can enhance its historical value and, in some cases, its property value.

​

Use of Appropriate Materials

Historic masonry experts use compatible materials, such as lime-based mortars instead of modern cement, preventing damage caused by improper repairs.

​

Structural Integrity

Skilled specialists can identify hidden issues, like moisture intrusion or failing mortar joints, and address them with methods that preserve the building’s long-term stability.

​

Compliance with Preservation Standards

Professionals are familiar with local, state, and federal preservation guidelines, helping ensure that projects meet required standards for grants, tax credits, or landmark status.

​

Craftsmanship You Can Trust

With a deep respect for historical architecture, these specialists bring precision and care to every detail, delivering results that stand the test of time.
