The art of restoration of masonry has three challenges. First duplicating the exact look the original architect designed. Second: constructing it to comply with all current building codes. Finally: insuring the piece (especially a chimney) will be fully functional. There are only a few masons who can combine all three.

The skill and patients necessary to re-create the design of a legendary architect such as Paul Williams is rare. Most have never worked with other highly skilled masons. Masons who have learned their craft so well, they have become artisans. At Boston Brick & Stone, Inc. our master mason has been with the company for 20 years. The owner, Dave Laverdiere, the Quality Control Manager, and the Project Managers have many years experience in all areas of construction. It is the coordination of all of these skills that makes Boston Brick & Stone, Inc. the first choice of many local Historical Preservation Societies.

You can get an idea of the care and attention to detail necessary to construct a historical design that is also functional and meets present building code requirements in the article “Our Most Challenging Job Ever - thus far”
