Preserving New Orleans' Historic Masonry
New Orleans is home to some of the oldest and most unique brick and stone structures in America. From the Creole cottages in the French Quarter to the grand mansions along St. Charles Avenue, historic masonry tells the story of this city. We understand the special requirements of working on historic properties and follow preservation guidelines to maintain the architectural integrity of these buildings.
Many older homes in neighborhoods like the Garden District, Bywater, and Marigny need brick restoration work to address damage from settling, moisture, and age. The soft local brick used in many 19th-century buildings requires careful handling and matching. We work with specialized materials and techniques to ensure repairs blend seamlessly with original construction.
Our team has experience navigating the Historic District Landmarks Commission approval process when required. We know how to balance modern building codes with historic preservation standards. Whether you own a shotgun double in the Treme or a raised center hall in Lakeview, we bring the expertise needed to restore and protect your investment while respecting its history.
Managing Moisture in the Crescent City
Properties in New Orleans face unique challenges you will not find in drier climates. Our high humidity, frequent rainfall, and proximity to the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain create constant moisture pressure on masonry structures. Water is the biggest enemy of brick and mortar, and we see its effects every day in our work throughout the city.
Tuckpointing services are especially important here because deteriorating mortar joints let water penetrate deep into walls. Once water gets inside, it can cause brick to spall, wood framing to rot, and interior walls to develop mold. Many homes in Mid-City and Gentilly that flooded during Katrina had additional masonry damage that still needs attention years later.
We also handle a lot of foundation waterproofing and drainage work because of our below-sea-level location. Properties in Lakeview, Broadmoor, and other low-lying areas need proper drainage systems to prevent water from pooling around foundations. Our team understands these local conditions and designs solutions that actually work in New Orleans' challenging environment.
Our Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a free on-site consultation at your New Orleans property. Our experienced team examines your masonry, listens to your concerns, and asks questions to understand your goals. We explain what we find in clear, straightforward terms and help you understand the scope of work needed. There is never any pressure, just honest professional advice.
Serving Neighborhoods Throughout New Orleans
We work in all areas of New Orleans, from the historic districts downtown to newer developments in New Orleans East. Each neighborhood has its own character and typical masonry needs. Uptown homes often need porch and foundation work due to age and settling. Properties in Lakeview frequently require drainage solutions and waterproofing because of the area's elevation.
In the French Quarter and Marigny, we handle a lot of chimney repairs and historic brick restoration. These older buildings require specialized knowledge and materials to maintain their authenticity. Further out in Algiers Point and the West Bank, we see more retaining wall installations and patio projects as homeowners improve their outdoor spaces.
No matter where your property is located, we bring the same level of professionalism and attention to detail. We understand local building codes, work well with city inspectors, and know what it takes to get projects done right in New Orleans. Our goal is to make your masonry project smooth and stress-free from consultation to completion.
