Experience You Can Trust
Abstract Masonry Restoration, Inc. is devoted exclusively to providing expert historic masonry restoration consulting and contracting services. We have been cleaning, repairing, and preserving historic masonry for over 3 decades. We only provide historic masonry restoration services. We do not build new masonry structures. We feel strongly that if we did build new masonry buildings, it would cloud our focus, and divert us from our passion and expertise in restoring historic masonry.
Many of the structures we have worked on are listed on the National or State historic registers. With over 2,000 projects under our belt, we have experienced just about any possible condition with historic masonry. From a chimney on a home in Salt Lake City to a complete restoration of Sante Fe Cathedral Basilica. We work on brick, stone, terra cotta, adobe, historic stucco, historic concrete, custom precast, and custom stone carving.
Kevin Hadfield
Managing Principal / President
Kevin has worked in masonry construction, preservation, and restoration for nearly 3 decades, during which time he spent some time in England and Wales studying historic masonry and the methods of craftsmen of old. Kevin’s tenacity for his work comes from the understanding that builders of historic structures put their whole heart and soul into the buildings they erected, often with very little means. The work that Abstract Masonry does today honors the work of these original craftsmen by preserving their work for generations to come.
Jeremiah Richter
Principal / Vice President of Personnel
Jeremiah, who goes by Jamie, has nearly 3 decades of experience in the field of preserving and restoring historic architecture. He has worked on hundreds of restoration projects, both big and small, across the entire country. His passion for his work comes from a love of beautifying and preserving historic masonry so that future generations get to enjoy and see the beauty of real craftsmanship. His role at Abstract Masonry allows him to continue fulfilling that passion and helps provide stable careers for other master craftsmen.
Casey Sullivan
Principal / Vice President of Estimating
Casey has spent over 14 years estimating and restoring damaged and deteriorated masonry of all types. This wealth of experience enables him to make precise estimations that go a long way towards restoring masonry and keeping historic architecture beautiful and stable. Casey flat out loves old masonry. To him, old walls and arches are quiet and stalwart monuments to the craftsmen and masons of the past, and he relishes the opportunity to preserve the almost timeless tenacity of these old buildings.
