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.

We are formally trained in both lead came and copper foil techniques. We can design and craft your stained glass projects. Generally, we use historic patterns or create unique designs based on historic designs, but we can also produce designs to meet your needs.

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. NHL mortar will not cause spalling in historic masonry like modern mortars will. We hand chisel out the old mortar so that no damage is done to your historic brickwork.

Historic Stone Repair

We are trained Jahn Stone Repair Certified Installers. We can repair erosion or other damage to your sandstone foundation stones, limestone, bricks, or other masonry. We can closely match color, texture and profile.

Brick Repair

We repair or replace spalled bricks or missing bricks. We closely match the brick and use historic lime mortar to install the bricks.
