Historic Restoration & Preservation

We understand that the preservation of history requires a certain reverence and adherance to the old methods of masonry that have been around for centuries. But we are skilled in restorations that will increase the stability and durability of and preserve old masonry, giving it the same look it had years ago but with better products that are available today.

You may know a great mason who is completely familiar with modern masonry but has never done the kind of restoration and preservation you want. Maybe he has never built a Rumford fireplace. Perhaps you want your restoration pointed with lime mortar and he's never worked with it. Or, perhaps he cannot find the materials you need. We will visit your site, source the proper materials and work with your mason, following up to see how things are going.

A consultation with Cantone & Sons Mason Contractors can simplify anything that may be puzzling you. For example, if you have an old home, we can determine if the fireplace is original, partially so or if it is able to be restored and preserved. A consultation like this can save you considerable money and give you the results you're hoping for. Simply contact us and we'll give you the facts.
