“they don’t make them like they used to”
With that being said…historic stonework needs careful consideration when being assessed for repairs. Not just any mason is qualified to do this kind of work. Special types of mortars or other masonry requirements and or techniques may need to be considered. Due to the nature of repair work, additional repairs may be needed once a more thorough investigation of the damage is complete. The safest approach to repair work is time and material invoiced at the end of each work week. The hourly rate is $85 plus materials with a 4-hour minimum for work within a 20 mile radius of Middleway, WV. Upon the initial inspection, an estimated time to complete the repair would be provided.
