Restoring Boston’s rich history requires more than just skilled craftsmanship—something our Boston masonry contractors certainly deliver. It demands deep knowledge of traditional methods, respect for original materials, and unwavering attention to detail. At Knollmeyer Building Corp, we bring all that and more to every restoration project.
We’re an honor-certified historical masonry contractor in Greater Boston, with specialties in landmark buildings, brownstones, churches, and other historic structures.
We combine time-honored techniques with modern equipment to replicate original masonry materials and finishes, ensuring every repair seamlessly matches the historic structure. At Knollmeyer, we preserve Boston’s heritage—one brick at a time.
Why Historical Masonry Matters?
Boston architecture is living history. From the brownstones of Beacon Hill to the heritage homes throughout the city, these buildings require special care to preserve the integrity and character of the original work.
Unlike new construction, historical masonry relies on traditional methods and materials that require skilled handling and historical knowledge.
Proper preservation not only maintains structural integrity and curb appeal—it also ensures compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and can qualify buildings for tax credits, grants, and preservation protections.
