RESTORATION

We offer a suite of services from small repairs and modifications, to complete restoration. No matter the size or scope of the project, everything we do is led by our guiding principles.

MASONRY CLEANING

Nearly every project we encounter has some degree of masonry cleaning required. We use a specialized Thermatech steam washing system to safely remove paint, carbon and vegetation from brick and stone surfaces. Unlike other systems which can cause irreparable damage to the building envelope, steam cleaning is a non-abrasive method that is consistent with Heritage Conservation & Preservation standards worldwide.

RENOVATIONS

We also do new-construction masonry, focusing on high quality installations with unique materials that compliment the original home's character.
