Historic masonry restoration requires in-depth knowledge of masonry, the mortar and the complementary items such as stone lintels and decorative stone bands. Using the wrong strength of either brick, mortar or both can cause damage to the overall structure. Stone lintels can be sandstone, granite or other stone materials. Each element of a historic building requires a different treatment to correct deterioration. Such treatments can range from rebuilding to sealing to epoxy injection to restore the stone's original condition.
