Concord STONE FOUNDATION RESTORATION

 Concord was established in 1635 and has a large collection of historic homes.

Concord is home to 27 properties on the National Register of Historic Places. 

 All 27 of the historic homes built in Concord all used lime and sand for mortar to bond the stones or brick for foundation construction. 

If you own home in Concord and it has a stone or brick foundation lime mortar was used. Homes built in the 1600's, 1700's, 1800's and early 1900's were constructed with lime mortar and masonry for foundation construction.

At Thompson Crowley Masonry we specialize in the restoration and preservation of lime mortar used in historic homes. We have been restoring foundations in the Boston area since 1965. Over three generations our company has had the privilege to restore some of the first homes built in America. 

We work closely with property owners to preserve and restore historic foundations.
