Havertown’s neighborhoods were largely built in the first half of the 20th century, and much of that masonry is now close to or past 100 years old. Brick and stone twins are common in neighborhoods like Llanerch, Brookline and Manoa, and some blocks have stone exteriors built from local Wissahickon schist. These homes were built to last, but decades of weather in the Main Line and Havertown area wear away mortar joints, loosen stone and crack chimney crowns.

As a masonry company based right here in Havertown, PA, BJK Masonry & Restoration works on this masonry every day. On older stone and brick homes, we repair and repoint with lime mortar prepared in-house, so new work suits the original materials. On twins, we match mortar color, texture and joint style as closely as the materials allow, so repairs blend with the attached home next door.

BJK provides chimney repair and restoration, brick and stone repointing, historic masonry restoration, basement waterproofing, foundation repair, retaining walls, concrete and hardscaping for homeowners throughout Havertown and nearby Ardmore, Wynnewood, Haverford and Drexel Hill.
