Bucks County and the surrounding areas of Pennsylvania are steeped in rich history, boasting many homes that serve as historical landmarks dating back to the 1800s.

Our Specialization in Historic Stone Work Restorations

Our company specializes in a variety of historic stone work restorations, focusing on maintaining the authenticity and integrity of each structure. Among our key services is re-pointing, a meticulous technique that entails concaving existing joints and refilling them with the appropriate mortar mix tailored to the specific type of stone. This careful attention to detail is vital for ensuring a seamless appearance and structural stability. Each re-pointing project is uniquely approached, and our process begins with a thorough consultation where we assess your needs, the condition of your stonework, and any other requirements you may have.

The re-pointing process is essential for protecting your historic stone structure from the elements. Over time, mortar joints can deteriorate due to weathering, moisture, and other environmental factors. Through our expertise in stone work restorations, we can effectively rejuvenate your stone walls, chimneys, fireplaces, patios, pillars, and more. Each project is approached with the understanding that no two situations are the same; sometimes, additional work is required to assess whether concaving the joints is feasible or if certain stones need replacing. Our professionals are always ready to adapt, ensuring that your restoration project meets both your aesthetic and structural needs.

Choosing the Right Aesthetic for Your Stone Structure

While re-pointing is commonly applied to stone walls and pillars, it can be utilized throughout any stone structure to provide longevity and beauty. Clients often have a choice between different jointing styles, most notably concave and convex. The concave jointing style creates smooth, rounded edges that blend seamlessly into the stonework, while convex jointing features a pronounced outward curve for a more pronounced visual appeal. Both styles are elegant and sophisticated; however, the ultimate choice depends on the unique characteristics of the project and the homeowner’s taste. At American Stonework LS, we offer comprehensive consultation to help guide you in selecting the best style that aligns with your vision for your historic home.
