Our work
Every job starts with an on-site visit and an honest conversation about what the wall actually needs — not a sales pitch for a bigger scope. Below is what we do most often.

Failing mortar is the single most common cause of water damage in older Pittsburgh homes. We hand-rake out compromised joints and repoint with a mortar matched to the original — both in color and in compressive strength — so the new work disappears into the old wall and protects the brick for another century.

Chimneys take the worst weather on the house. We rebuild from the first sound course up, install proper crowns and flashing, and reline where needed. Every chimney leaves with a five-year workmanship guarantee and clear documentation for your records.

Tudor, Foursquare, Colonial Revival — the South Hills are rich with pre-war homes that deserve quiet, period-correct work. We use traditional materials and techniques, document the original conditions, and aim for repairs that read as original ten years from now.

Hand-selected stone, set with patience. Whether it's a dry-laid garden wall, a flagstone patio, or natural stone steps along a hillside lot, we design and build for the long view — pieces that settle into the landscape and look like they've always been there.

Many South Hills homes still stand on hand-laid stone foundations. We repair settlement cracks, rebuild deteriorated sections, and address moisture issues — always working in materials that move and breathe with the original wall.
