  Massachusetts stone foundations were built with available materials. Early homes foundations were built using field stone and stone rubble. With the manufacturing of brick in Salem Massachusetts homes started using bricks above grade. This allowed for a finer finished look than stone rubble and more affordable than granite. Local quarries started producing dimensional stone for sought after granite foundations. Blasted ledge was used for rubble foundations that relied more on the masonry cement to hold the stone together than the stone itself.  

 Quarry's in Chelmsford supplied stone for foundations in Concord, Carlisle, Andover and Bedford area. Quincy Quarry's famous granite can be seen throughout Lexington, Winchester and Arlington. Quarry's in Saugus supplied rose stone a form of purple or rose ledge stone that we often see on the North shore. Swampscott and early Lynnfield quarry's produced a blue split and seam face granite. We still use this stone today for rebuilding foundations and matching existing stone. Rockport granite or Cape Ann Granite can be seen regularly in Gloucester, Beverly, Danvers and surrounding area properties.  

 Reclaimed granite is available for historic material matching if needed.  What ever type of materials your foundation was built with and what ever condition it is in we can help.
