Boston is a city that boasts an iconic architectural identity rooted in its brick-lined streets, historical landmarks, and stone-clad facades. These enduring materials represent more than just aesthetic appeal—they embody history, resilience, and structural excellence. However, time, weather, pollution, and improper maintenance can cause significant wear. That’s where professional brick and stone restoration services become essential.
With over 30 years of experience, JWG Building Restoration provides expert restoration services designed to preserve, protect, and revitalize Boston's treasured buildings. In this comprehensive blog, we explore the top 10 benefits of hiring professionals for brick and stone restoration and why JWG is your trusted partner in the process.
1. Preserve Historic Value
Many Boston properties feature classic architecture dating back decades or even centuries. Preserving their historical value is crucial. Professional brick and stone restoration helps retain these heritage structures' original charm without compromising structural integrity.
At JWG Building Restoration, we honor each building's historical narrative using specialized techniques and matching materials to protect its authenticity.
2. Prevent Further Damage
Weather, freeze-thaw cycles, pollution, and moisture intrusion can lead to crumbling mortar, cracked bricks, and stained stone surfaces. Neglecting these issues can escalate the damage.
Our brick and stone restoration process involves identifying early signs of degradation and applying targeted solutions to prevent widespread structural compromise.
3. Enhance Curb Appeal
Restored brickwork and polished stone surfaces instantly improve a building's appearance. This visual upgrade is particularly important for businesses, multi-unit residences, or properties in high-traffic areas.
JWG uses industry-leading methods to clean, repoint, and seal your masonry, delivering dramatic transformations that attract admiration.
4. Increase Property Value
Well-maintained masonry doesn’t just look better—it’s worth more. Whether you’re preparing to lease or sell a property, professional restoration adds tangible value.
We combine structural improvements with aesthetic finesse to boost both your property’s market appeal and price point.
5. Improve Structural Integrity
Beyond looks, damaged bricks and stones can threaten a structure's foundation. Water seepage, shifting walls, or eroding mortar joints can weaken your building's framework.
JWG's trained specialists evaluate your structure comprehensively, reinforcing and restoring vulnerable areas to promote long-term safety and durability.
6. Use of Advanced Techniques and Materials
Restoration is not simply about replacing damaged areas—it's an art that combines technical expertise with deep material knowledge. Our team uses industry-approved repointing, brick replacement, and stone patching methods to ensure seamless finishes.
We also work with high-quality, historically accurate materials to maintain architectural consistency across all surfaces.
7. Energy Efficiency
Damaged or poorly insulated masonry can cause drafts and higher energy bills. Cracks and gaps in walls allow heat to escape and moisture to infiltrate, undermining insulation.
Our brick and stone restoration includes sealing and waterproofing services that enhance energy efficiency while protecting your interior spaces from the elements.
8. Compliance with Local Regulations
Boston has strict preservation and safety codes for historical and commercial properties. Working with a licensed and experienced contractor ensures compliance with all building regulations.
JWG handles permit acquisition, inspections, and documentation, reducing your legal risks and ensuring a smooth restoration process.
9. Long-Term Cost Savings
DIY fixes or hiring underqualified contractors may result in recurring issues, ultimately costing more in repeated repairs and maintenance. A professional restoration investment saves money long term.
JWG delivers lasting results that minimize future expenses, thanks to superior materials and craftsmanship.
