Common Stonework Problems
Recognizing these issues early can save you from costly repairs and structural damage.
Deteriorating Mortar
Over time, mortar between stones can deteriorate due to weather exposure, causing instability and potential structural issues.
Shifting and Settlement
Stone structures can shift or settle due to ground movement, poor foundation, or water damage, leading to cracks and instability.
Water Damage
Improper drainage or sealing can lead to water penetration, causing erosion, efflorescence, and deterioration of stone and mortar.
Staining and Discoloration
Environmental factors, algae growth, or chemical exposure can cause unsightly staining and discoloration of stone surfaces.
Improper Installation
Poor craftsmanship or incorrect installation techniques can lead to premature failure, uneven surfaces, and safety hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our stonework services.
What's the difference between natural and manufactured stone?
Natural stone is quarried from the earth and has unique variations in color, texture, and pattern. Manufactured stone is a concrete product designed to mimic natural stone at a lower cost. Natural stone typically offers greater durability and authentic character, while manufactured stone provides consistent appearance and easier installation. We work with both types and can help you choose the best option for your project.
How long will my stonework last?
Properly installed stonework can last for generations. Natural stone itself is extremely durable, often lasting hundreds of years. The mortar joints typically require maintenance every 25-50 years, depending on exposure to weather and other factors. Our installation methods focus on longevity, with proper foundations, drainage, and high-quality materials to maximize the lifespan of your stonework.
How do I maintain my stonework?
Stonework requires minimal maintenance. For exterior stonework, we recommend annual inspection for any loose stones or deteriorating mortar, gentle cleaning with a soft brush and water (avoiding pressure washers), and applying a breathable sealer every 3-5 years if desired. For interior stonework, regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a stone-safe cleaner is typically sufficient. We provide detailed maintenance instructions for all our stonework projects.
Can existing stonework be repaired or restored?
Yes, most stonework can be effectively repaired or restored. Common repairs include repointing (replacing deteriorated mortar), replacing damaged stones, cleaning to remove stains or biological growth, and addressing structural issues. Historic stonework requires special consideration to maintain its character and integrity. Our team has experience with both modern and historic stonework restoration and can assess your specific situation to recommend appropriate solutions.
