The marble stoops and ornamental ironwork of Federal Hill demand specialized care. We meticulously repair deteriorated brownstone facades using historically accurate mortar mixes, matching original textures. Our team stabilizes bowing walls with concealed steel reinforcements while preserving architectural details.
Common projects include rebuilding collapsed bay window supports, replicating damaged corbels, and restoring original hardwood floors hidden under layers. We source materials from local suppliers like Chesapeake Brick & Tile to maintain neighborhood character.
Every restoration includes moisture surveys to prevent future damage from Inner Harbor's humid microclimate.
