Historic Masonry Preservation
Why Historic Masonry Preservation Matters
Historic masonry homes were constructed with materials and methods that are no longer used in modern construction. Over time, exposure and improper repairs can erode their structural integrity and original appearance.
K.B. Masonry restores these homes using traditional tools, lime mortars, and a deep respect for their history. K.B. Masonry's goal is to preserve both the craftsmanship and the performance of your masonry for the next 100 years.
What Goes Into Proper Masonry Preservation
Accurate historic masonry preservation involves more than patching joints or replacing bricks. K.B. masonry matches original mortar composition, repairs damaged or loose stone and brick, and cleans surfaces using non-invasive, masonry-safe methods.
Every material is carefully selected for its compatibility, breathability, and durability, ensuring long-term protection, not just appearance. Your home gets a tailored plan that reflects its age, structure, and architectural importance.
