In the 1800’s stone and wood became more accessible. Starting in the 1940’s technology made it easier to transport and manufacture stone. This is when these materials become a more popular exterior siding option.

Stonework enhances exterior and even interior aesthetics. It provides durability on the exterior and gives a classy, timeless look. Stonework requires precision and artistry and is a skill that is often overlooked.

Precision in Every Stone

Every stone has a unique shape, texture, and size. Masons know to carefully select, cut, and fit each stone with careful attention to detail. Their skill lies in ensuring that the stones complement each other and fit perfectly, creating a harmonious and visually pleasing facade.

The Proper Mortar Mix

The type of mortar used in stone masonry is a crucial element in the process. Masons must master the art of mixing and applying mortar in order to secure stones, striking a balance between strength and flexibility to withstand weather, temperature variations, and structural movements. Along with this they must be thorough in the way they apply the mortar for a consistent look throughout.
