Repointing & Lime Mortar
Repointing & Lime Mortar
Historic Richmond homes were built with soft bricks and breathable lime mortar. Using modern Portland cement on these structures can cause permanent damage. We use traditional lime-based blends that allow moisture to escape, preserving your masonry for decades to come.
Our fourth-generation expertise ensures that every joint is meticulously matched to the original's color and texture. We don't just patch walls; we restore the structural integrity and aesthetic character of your property's legacy.
