Restoring Historic Brickwork: Masonry Solutions for Lynchburg Homes and Businesses

Lynchburg is known for its historic charm, from 19th-century homes in Daniels Hill to classic storefronts downtown. But with age comes wear—and restoring those original brick features takes skill, experience, and respect for craftsmanship. At Lynchburg Masonry, we specialize in historic masonry restoration that protects the past while preparing your property for the future.

Why Historic Masonry Needs Special Care

Older brick and mortar were made using materials and methods no longer in common use. That means a standard repair job may do more harm than good if it's not handled correctly.

Issues we often see include:

• Mortar erosion or cracking
• Brick spalling (flaking or chipping)
• Water infiltration from failed joints
• Paint or surface damage from improper repairs
• Structural shifting in older foundations

We carefully assess each structure, match the original materials, and restore the masonry using traditional techniques and modern protective strategies.

Our Restoration Services

Lynchburg Masonry offers full-service repair and restoration for historic properties, including:

• Tuckpointing with custom mortar blends
• Brick replacement using salvaged or era-matched bricks
• Chimney rebuilds and repointing
• Facade repairs for residential and commercial buildings

We don’t just patch problems—we restore character, integrity, and long-term durability.

Blending Old and New

In many projects, homeowners want to maintain the original structure but update certain features—like adding a modern patio, installing a new fireplace, or blending new masonry with old.

Our team specializes in seamless transitions, making sure new brickwork complements the historic materials instead of clashing with them.
