Benefits Of Historic Masonry Restoration

Achieving the benefits of a historic masonry restoration requires a knowledgeable, reliable, and experienced expert to determine if a full reconstruction or restoration of your brick, stone, or block is necessary. Below are some benefits, but not limited to, that you will receive by restoring or preserving your historic masonry instead of reconstructing your home or structure.

Benefits of historic masonry preservation and restoration:

  1. Restoration usually lets you invest less into a project than a complete reconstruction. 

  2. Older deteriorated buildings are not aesthetically pleasing. And can reduce the value of your home, structure, and community. Restoring the masonry to its original style, character, and durability helps retain your building and communities history, aesthetics, and appearance. People are more likely to visit and be in neighborhoods with attractive buildings and landmarks with much history. 

  3. You can enjoy a modern restoration matching the original strength, style, and material.

  4. Demolishing your historic masonry or building for reconstruction erases the sentimental value of the significant home or structure. Historic masonry homes are reminiscent of the past and a timeless asset for the community to which the building or structure belongs.

  5. Restoring and preserving your historic brick, stone, or block prolongs the life of the building, structure, monument, or landmark. 

Prolonging the life of your masonry, retaining its character, and maintaining its sentimental value by restoring versus doing a complete reconstruction is a wise decision. Restoration also prevents future damage, which may lead to a complete rebuild or damage to surrounding parts if not taken care of. K.B. Masonry LLC closely examines the materials initially used to acquire matching material to ensure your mortar joints and masonry last another 100+ years.
