Masonry in Fishtown, PA

Serving Fishtown, PA

Fishtown's mix of original worker cottages and modern infill projects keeps our masons busy. We repoint soft brick on 19th-century homes using lime mortar that flexes with seasonal movement, while new constructions get our signature freeze-thaw resistant parging. The neighborhood's industrial past means many properties have unusual masonry features—think arched warehouse windows converted to residential use. We preserve these character-defining elements while upgrading their weather resistance. For newer builds, we install brick fronts with steel lintels that won't sag like old timber supports.

Rapidly changing neighborhood with historic brick homes alongside contemporary construction. Many original structures suffer from past improper repairs.
