STONE MASONRY REPOINTING & RESTORATION SPECIALISTS SINCE 1988
Stone masonry is an ancient art that has been practiced for centuries, shaping the very fabric of our architectural heritage. Regrettably, this time-honored tradition seems to be on the decline. As the older generation of skilled masons retire, there remains an ever-dwindling number of individuals possessing the necessary knowledge and expertise to repair and restore the magnificent structures that have been handed down to us by our ancestors.
At Poor Boys’, we are captivated by the intricate puzzle that is a stone wall. Each stone, carefully shaped and placed, bears witness to the unwavering dedication and artistry of the stone masons who came before us. It is only when attempting to recreate their work that we can truly appreciate the depth of their skill and craftsmanship. Although we employ modern mortar and tools, the fundamental techniques involved in constructing a structurally sound wall from stones have remained largely unchanged throughout the ages.
Our fervent passion for restoring and preserving historical stone structures is driven by a desire to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy these architectural masterpieces. We are dedicated to performing our craft with the utmost quality and meticulous attention to detail, honoring the legacy of the master masons who have gone before us. It would be our absolute pleasure to assist you in safeguarding and maintaining your unique piece of history for the enjoyment of generations to come.
