Champs Masonry & Chimney: Historic Home and Landmark Masonry Experts
Historic Home and Landmark Masonry Experts. Specializing in stone foundation restoration, lime mortar repointing, and antique fireplace restoration across New England.
Historic restoration, done the right way.
Stone foundations, lime mortar, antique fireplaces, and landmark preservation, using the breathable, period-correct methods most contractors get wrong.
Stone Foundation Restoration
Our specialty. A historic stone foundation outlasts any concrete one, but only if it's restored the right way. We restore the interior with breathable lime mortar and rebuild the exterior moisture barrier by hand to stop saturation, bowing, and structural decay.

Lime Mortar Repointing
Mortar is sacrificial, not structural. It's designed to take water in and out and protect the masonry around it. Modern hard cement cracks historic brick and stone. We test, match, and repoint with soft, breathable lime mortars built for your building.

Antique Home Masonry Restoration
Restore and repoint your full antique brick home or commercial building. We match the mortars, match the bricks, and use breathable, softer mortars after a proper mortar test, because using modern products on a historic building envelope is unacceptable.

Antique Fireplace & Chimney Restoration
Get an antique wood-burning fireplace back to its original glory. Antique chimneys are built differently and far dirtier than modern ones, so every project starts with an intensive inspection and cleaning, then a full video scan, before any restoration, relining, or rebuilding.
