Historic Masonry Mortar Matching
Why Mortar Matching Is Essential For Historic Masonry Homes
Mortar isn’t just filler, it’s a critical part of your home’s structure, breathability, and longevity. Using the wrong mortar can cause cracking, moisture damage, and permanent harm to the original masonry.
K.B. Masonry ensures that every mortar blend is compatible in terms of composition, color, and texture. The result is a seamless, long-lasting repair that preserves both the integrity and appearance of your brick or stone home.
How The Mortar Matching Process Works
Every project begins with an on-site consultation and careful extraction of a mortar sample as needed. That sample is professionally analyzed and replicated by hand to match the original in every detail from hue and grain to hardness.
After a test application confirms that the blend is visually and structurally accurate, we proceed with repointing or repair. This ensures your restoration is not only durable but also a seamless blend from the original work.
