Preserving the Past

Preserving the historic homes of a place gives a community its unique character. But, beyond preserving buildings, historic preservation provides economic, cultural, environmental, and educational benefits. We adhere to The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Preservation of Historic Structures, the National Park Service Historic Preservation Technical Briefs, and The Window Preservation Standards Collaborative. Those are the values that guide the work performed at The Western Reserve Preservation Company.

Historic Masonry Repair

Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) Repointing

We can very closely match your existing NHL mortar in color, aggregate, etc. We will clear the old mortar from the masonry joints to a depth of around 1" and then fill it with new, matched NHL mortar.
