Building Restoration Solutions

  Stone foundations built in the North Shore area were constructed with native stone and some imported stone. Materials used were often field stone from the foundation excavation. With New England winters and frost heaving a four ft. footing was required. This gives us our classic Boston four foot foundation base with 3ft of free standing (above grade) stone or brick. Field stone, quarried granite, brick and ledge stone.

  Masons and builders relied on period lime mortars or masonry cement when available. Over time the below grade mortars would soften and cause leaks and crumbling. 

At Thompson Crowley we specialize in foundation restoration and preservation of historic foundations since 1965.
