Stone masonry, with its timeless appeal and inherent strength, contributes significantly to the character and longevity of your home. However, even the most robust natural stone can succumb to the relentless forces of nature, age, and sometimes, even poor initial installation. Over time, factors like freeze-thaw cycles, prolonged moisture exposure, ground settlement, or impact damage can lead to cracks, spalling, crumbling, or displacement of individual stones. When this occurs, it’s not merely a visual imperfection; it can compromise the structural integrity of your walls, foundations, steps, or decorative stone features, potentially leading to further, more extensive damage.
At Abstract Masonry, we appreciate the unique artistry and enduring quality of residential stone masonry. Beyond laying new stone, we are highly skilled in the intricate craft of stone replacement, precisely restoring the individual stones of your home to their original grandeur and structural soundness.
