Services
Masonry Repair
We restore deteriorated brickwork by identifying root causes like water infiltration or structural issues. Our process involves removing damaged mortar, replacing compromised bricks, and applying matching finishes. With expertise in both historic and modern techniques, we ensure repairs blend seamlessly with existing structures while preventing future damage through proper waterproofing and drainage solutions.
Stucco Restoration
Our stucco restoration addresses cracks, texture mismatches, and weather damage while maintaining original aesthetics. We assess substrate conditions, repair underlying issues, and replicate finish textures using traditional methods. This service extends stucco lifespan by addressing water intrusion points and reinforcing vulnerable areas around windows and doors in New England's climate.
Chimney Rebuilding
We rebuild chimneys damaged by weather exposure or structural failure. Our process includes constructing safe working platforms, removing deteriorated masonry, and rebuilding with durable materials. We address flashing issues and reinforce foundations to prevent recurrence, ensuring chimneys meet safety standards while preserving architectural integrity in residential properties.
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement restoration identifies water intrusion sources through foundation inspections. We remove damaged mortar, repair structural cracks, and apply lime-based mortars matching original compositions. By addressing drainage issues and sealing vulnerabilities, we prevent moisture damage while maintaining the historical character of fieldstone and brick foundations.
Foundation Restoration
We restore foundations by removing failed mortar, reinforcing weak areas, and rebuilding compromised sections. Our approach preserves structural integrity through proper material matching and reinforcement techniques. We address both visible damage and hidden issues like water infiltration, ensuring foundations withstand environmental stresses for decades.
