“He went to all of the commission meetings, sought approval, waited months to go in front of the commission to show them the exact color of mortar, and answered a litany of questions. He followed protocol and started working with the commission in January for a June launch. They were flawless and obtained all of the needed approvals.”

Expertise and Experience
Restoring the Boston area’s historic buildings requires special expertise and experience.
We’ve been working with historic commissions for decades. We know what they require and we understand the process for obtaining approvals.
We are an approved applicator of JAHN and Conproco (MIMIC) mortars, which are specially designed for historic restoration, as well as SPEC MIX® mortars, including pigmented mortars.
These mortars match the relative hardness or softness of brick and other masonry substrates, so joints move with the masonry, preventing deterioration and damage. They also match the porosity of the substrate, preventing moisture and road salt from becoming trapped in the masonry and damaging it.
