Heritage Stone Restoration
Preserving history requires a delicate balance of traditional techniques and modern structural science. We specialize in the meticulous restoration of historic masonry, ensuring that time-honored structures are stabilized and returned to their original grandeur without losing their soul.
The Preservation Ethic
We treat historic stone not as a material, but as a legacy. Our approach focuses on non-destructive cleaning, original mortar matching, and the preservation of the stone’s natural patina.
