Historic Masonry Consultation

Expert On Site Assessment For Pre-1930 Natural Stone & Brick Homes

 
 
 

The Foundation Of Every Great Restoration

Your consultation is the most important part of your restoration. It begins with a phone call to understand your concerns, goals, and the history of your home. Then, we meet on-site to assess your brick or natural stone, identify areas of deterioration, and take precise measurements. You’ll receive a detailed proposal within three business days, including recommendations, warnings, and a restoration plan tailored to your home’s age, materials, and condition.

We don’t rush, we inspect with care, educate you on what we see, and explain how our process prevents further damage. Every consultation includes material compatibility checks, identification of problem areas, and expert guidance on the best solutions to preserve your home’s structural and visual integrity. You’ll also receive ongoing support and weekly educational updates to help you understand the long-term needs of your historic masonry. This is how K.B. Masonry confidently restores your historic masonry and gets it right the first time!

Why Expert Evaluation Protects Your Masonry

Historic masonry isn’t just old, it’s a system built to last, but only when repointed and repaired correctly. Using incompatible mortar, incorrect tools, or modern materials can trap moisture, cause cracking, and permanently damage the structure, potentially requiring reconstruction.

Our consultation identifies these risks before they become failures, ensuring that every repointing and repair respects the original craftsmanship and function of your home. This evaluation is the first and most important step in preserving your home’s character, durability, and appearance for the next century.
