Restoration is our specialty
Matching mortar, stone & brick to blend in without notice.
Upstate NY is home to some of the harshest weather. Freeze and thaw can cause expensive damage. Catch it early and make repairs… or wait and replace.
Bricks and mortar have changed throughout the years, and finding a match isn't always purely cosmetic. Using the wrong type of mortar can negatively affect the strength and integrity of your new repair. Some masons use one type of mortar for everything — and that could lead to an expensive repair or replacement soon after you've already paid for it. Do it right the first time.
I stock a wide assortment of used / reclaimed bricks and stones that are almost impossible to find elsewhere. These materials help to blend old and new masonry seamlessly. Dyes and stains can be added to create a repair that is sometimes unnoticeable to even an experienced mason.
“I am not just a mason — I specialize in the codes and workings of chimneys that vent many different fireplaces, woodstoves, and furnaces. I have saved my customers thousands of dollars by explaining and providing options that best suit their needs.”
