Stone Repair Services
Stone adds character, permanence, and value to your home—but even the toughest materials can wear down over time. Cracks, shifting pieces, or flaking in your stone surface may start small, but they’re often signs of larger issues beneath the surface. Left untreated, damaged stonework can compromise the look and stability of your walls, columns, patios, or facades.
At Bramwell-McKay Masonry Restoration, we’ve spent nearly 40 years helping homeowners restore stone features with solutions designed to last. Whether you live in a historic home or a newer build, our goal is the same: to repair and reset your stonework so it remains as strong and beautiful as the day it was built.
What Causes Natural Stone to Break Down Over Time
Stone might look indestructible, but it has its vulnerabilities. Unlike manufactured materials, each piece of natural stone reacts differently to its environment. Over years of exposure and stress, these differences add up to visible damage.
Here are some causes behind stone wall and other stone surface damage and wear:
Our role isn’t just to repair the damage but to uncover what set it in motion. By addressing the cause, we ensure your stone repair actually lasts.
Warning Signs in Your Stonework
Stone damage often blends in until it becomes severe. Knowing what to watch for can help you catch issues early, before they spread, so we can repair mortar, stone, and more with success.
Our Specialized Stone Repair and Replacement Services
Every stone repair project is unique, and our team approaches each one with the same care and craftsmanship. Here’s how we restore strength and preserve the natural character of your stonework:
Stone Resetting
Over time, stone can shift out of place due to settling foundations, water infiltration, or poor installation. A loose or tilted stone isn’t just unsightly—it compromises the integrity of the entire wall or structure. Our masons carefully remove affected stones, realign them with precision, and reset them so they lock back into the wall securely. The result is a stable structure that looks as though it never moved.
Original Stone Replacement and Color Matching
Sometimes stone is simply too damaged to be reset. In these cases, replacement stones are the best option. We source new stone that matches the color, size, and texture of the original, ensuring the repair blends seamlessly with the rest of your home. From a single facade stone to larger wall sections, our replacements preserve the historic character and continuity of your masonry while restoring its full strength.
Crack and Joint Repair
Cracks and failing mortar joints let in moisture, accelerate deterioration, and weaken the bond between stones. Instead of a surface patch, our team stabilizes cracks and rebuilds joints with new, high-quality mortar chosen to match the existing wall. This not only restores strength but also prevents future water penetration, keeping your stonework secure for decades.
Surface Restoration
Weathering, freeze–thaw cycles, and natural aging can cause stone to spall, flake, or lose its natural finish. Our restoration process removes damaged outer layers and repairs surface flaws to bring back the stone’s natural beauty. By addressing both the cosmetic and structural effects of weathering, we extend the lifespan of your stonework while maintaining its original appearance.
At Bramwell-McKay, our commitment is simple: every repair should look like it’s always been part of your home.
