Historic masonry is not a category of work — it is a standard of care. Limestone, granite, terracotta, and historic brick each behave differently, age differently, and fail differently. We have spent 35 years learning how to work with these materials the right way — sourcing period-appropriate replacements, performing laboratory analysis when needed, and applying techniques that meet the standards of historic preservation commissions and landmark designations. The goal is always to preserve what was built, not replace it.
