Erie Masonry Pros Launches Historic Restoration Division

Erie, Pennsylvania, United States, 3rd Jun 2025 – Property owners across northwestern Pennsylvania struggle with deteriorating masonry structures that compromise safety and curb appeal. Erie Masonry Pros today announced the establishment of its dedicated Historic Restoration Division designed to address the unique challenges of preserving century-old brick and stonework. This specialized team brings advanced restoration techniques to Erie’s historic districts and aging properties.

Homeowners and businesses face significant challenges with aging masonry that cracks, crumbles, and loses structural integrity. The newly formed division at Erie Masonry Pros provides specialized solutions engineered for historic properties, offering enhanced preservation methods while maintaining authentic period aesthetics.

“Many Erie property owners deal with masonry issues that require specialized knowledge beyond standard repairs,” said Thomas Wagner, Operations Director at Erie Masonry Pros. “Our new division addresses these challenges with techniques specifically developed for the unique architectural heritage found throughout northwestern Pennsylvania.”

Comprehensive Service Offerings

The company’s expanded services include chimney restoration featuring traditional mortar formulations that match original materials. For commercial properties, façade preservation systems provide weather protection while maintaining historic appearances. Decorative stonework restoration rounds out the premium offerings with skilled craftsmanship that reflects the region’s architectural heritage.

Each restoration project begins with a thorough structural assessment to identify unique challenges. This systematic approach ensures optimal preservation while addressing underlying issues that threaten stability. A dedicated project manager oversees every restoration from beginning to end.

Wagner compares historic masonry restoration to medical care for aging buildings. “Just like specialized medical care for seniors differs from general practice, historic buildings need specialized restoration approaches. The difference becomes apparent in longevity and authenticity of the results.”

Community Investment

The new division coincides with Erie’s renewed focus on downtown revitalization and historic district preservation. The company’s investment in specialized training and traditional materials supports community development while creating four new skilled positions within the local economy.

“We’ve restored buildings in this community for fifteen years. Watched neighborhoods transform. Seen historic districts come back to life,” said Wagner. “Our team takes pride in preserving the architectural story of Erie through craftsmanship that honors original building methods.”

The company recently completed several showcase projects demonstrating their specialized restoration methods. A Victorian-era commercial building in downtown Erie features meticulously restored decorative brickwork dating to 1885. These projects serve as practical examples of the company’s commitment to blending modern durability with historical accuracy.

Traditional Techniques

A distinguishing feature of the Historic Restoration Division is its use of traditional masonry techniques adapted for modern durability. These historic-appropriate methods include lime-based mortars and hand-selected replacement materials that match original construction. The technical approach allows for restorations that maintain historical integrity while providing enhanced weather resistance.

“Historic masonry presents unique challenges. Material sourcing difficulties. Matching century-old techniques. Each restoration requires true craftsmanship,” noted Wagner. “We’re particularly proud of our ability to blend traditional methods with modern durability standards.”

The company emphasizes its commitment to sustainability by salvaging and reusing original materials whenever possible. This preservation-focused approach extends to installation methods designed to ensure reversibility of repairs, adhering to best practices in historic preservation.
