The oldest structures on the planet are masonry constructed, and though they can last for a very long time, the elements take their toll on everything. Many of our clients have historical masonry which they would like to have repaired but worry that the restoration will remove some of the appeal from the stonework. BD McCaslin Co. Inc has performed numerous restorations of historic masonry structures and our customers are always pleased with the results. We know the specialized techniques needed for restoring our ancestral architecture and know that those places are not just any old building to our customers.

Cleaning

Depending on the customers wishes we can restore the stonework to its original luster or clean it with special methods to keep the rustic feel but remove the dirt and grime which has collected over the years

Stone & Brick Restoration

Many Historic properties have had their masonry painted. This is unfortunate as few paints are breathable enough to properly protect masonry and not capture moisture, which can damage the stonework over time. BD McCaslin Co. Inc knows how to properly remove paint and if necessary replace damaged bricks with new bricks that will seamlessly match the existing work.

Terra Cotta Replacement & Repair

BD McCaslin Co. Inc's team of specialists even know how to restore terracotta. We do deep repair, thin section repair, crack repair, re-bonding, glaze and glaze detail replication

Tuckpointing

The key to proper tucking (mortar replacement) with historical masonry is to analyze the mortar. If the mortar is not carefully analyzed and reproduced then the restored masonry will look patchy and unappealing. BD McCaslin Co. Inc makes the effort to restore your historic masonry uniformly and without discoloration.

Waterproofing

Waterproofing is a great investment when it comes to historic masonry. However, historic masonry is quite variable in its composition so it is important to choose the waterproofing material which is specifically designed for the masonry in question.

Masonry sealing

Apply masonry sealant to waterproof areas that receive a lot of rain or moisture.
