Who it is for
Houses that need a pillar, a masonry fireplace, an old joint cut out and filled, or stone and brick that is not a stock veneer package.
What done looks like
The piece is drawn to the house. Pillars are plumb. A fireplace drafts. New mortar matches the old wall where the job is a repair. The joints are the joints you asked for.
What to send
Photos of the wall, the pillar, or the fireplace, and whether this is new work or a repair.
On this line
Stone pillars
Gate posts, porch piers, and entry pillars in stone or brick, with a cap that sheds water. A buried base is not a finished pier.
Masonry fireplaces
Site-built masonry fireboxes and the stone or brick around them. Isokern when the floor is light. Rumford when you want the heat. The face is still this crew.
Repointing
Failed joints cut out and filled. The new mortar has to be softer than the brick or the stone, or the wall sheds its face. A smear over the old joint is not a repair.
Custom stone and brick
A wall, an arch, a hearth, or a detail that is not on a product card. We build it to the house, not to a brochure.
Questions
Is repointing the same as a new wall?+-
No. Repointing keeps the stone or brick and replaces the joint. A new wall is new masonry. Say which one the photos show.
Do you quote pillars and a fireplace together?+-
Yes. One ticket when they are the same job. Send photos of each piece.
