Brick & Stone Restoration

We specialize in masonry restoration, including brick repair and stone setting. Whether it’s a historic landmark or a commercial façade, our team combines expert craftsmanship with thoughtfully sourced materials to provide beautiful, lasting restorations.

Brick and Stone Restoration

Extensive knowledge of contemporary and historical brick construction allows us to make the most appropriate selections in brick match, brick bond and masonry mortar for every repair.

Brick Matching

Securing the correct brick match is essential for seamless restoration. Options include the following:

  • Brick salvage – Skilled dismantling techniques allow us to recover a high percentage of brick during the deconstruction phase, preserving materials for reuse.

  • Brick sourcing – Our network of historic and contemporary brick suppliers and salvage yards enables us to efficiently match most replacement brick.

  • Brick staining – In specialized situations where an exact match is required but not available, hand-staining is an option to replicate brick patterns and textures.

Brick Bonds

Brick bonds—the patterns in which bricks are laid—affect both aesthetics and strength. We restore and replicate traditional bonds, including:

  • Running Bond – Common in modern masonry, offering clean horizontal lines.

  • Flemish Bond – Often seen in historic structures, alternating headers and stretchers for strength and visual interest.

  • Common Bond – A mix of stretchers and occasional headers for stability.

  • English Bond – Alternating rows of headers and stretchers for maximum durability.

Mortar Type

In many cases, brickwork fails due to the use of incompatible mortar—either too hard or too soft for the brick type. Rebuilding and tuckpointing restorations begin with an assessment of the existing mortar’s condition and type, ensuring the most appropriate mortar selection for the restoration.

Stone structures—from building facades to architectural sculptures—require expert restoration with respect for architectural heritage. We specialize in installing, restoring and replacing natural stone as well as designing and implementing ornamental detailing as needed.

Stone Restoration

Crumbling stone from water damage or delamination caused by improperly installed sedimentary stones are the primary reasons a stone wall or façade may require restoration. In many cases, only select stones are affected, necessitating spot replacements. Sourcing salvaged stone from a similar time period is essential to ensuring seamless integration with the surrounding structure.

Architectural Sculpture and Carving

Stone carvings, reliefs and decorative elements add to the value of buildings and are a hallmark of historic masonry. We understand that preserving and recreating these elements requires skill and sensitivity. Our restoration approach includes:

  • Hand-Carved Stone – Traditional, artisan methods are used to create fine details with historical accuracy.

  • CNC-Milled Stonework – Modern computer-guided cutting for efficiency and accuracy where appropriate.

  • Decorative Brick and Terracotta – Our skills in carving and mold making enable us to accurately reproduce historic decorative designs.

Incorporating stone into a building’s façade enhances both its beauty and value. Our masons are skilled in traditional stone-setting patterns—such as ashlar, random rubble, and Celtic bond—and apply these time-honored techniques when designing and installing stone veneer. We recommend full-depth natural stone veneer for its superior aesthetics, longevity, thermal performance, and waterproofing benefits.
