Masonry in Englewood, NJ.

Englewood masonry is largely restoration: historic stone walls, bluestone terraces, brick piers at the driveway entry, and re-pointing on stone or brick facades that were built with lime mortar. Using a modern Portland-heavy mix on those walls is the single most damaging thing a contractor can do, because the mortar becomes harder than the stone and the stone starts to break instead.

New work here is built to match. Where an East Hill property needs a new terrace or set of steps, we specify natural stone with hand-cut edges and set it on a base engineered for frost movement, so the new construction ages alongside the original rather than standing out as a modern addition.
