Why Choose Historic Restoration?
Preservation of Cultural Heritage
Historic restoration is essential for preserving the cultural heritage of our communities. Buildings from the past tell stories of the people, events, and architectural styles that shaped our history. By restoring these structures, we keep those stories alive for future generations to appreciate. Historic restoration not only saves buildings from decay and neglect but also contributes to the cultural richness and continuity of our communities. At Green Bay Masonry Pros, we are committed to preserving the authenticity and character of historic buildings while updating them for modern use.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
Restoring historic buildings is an environmentally responsible choice. Rather than demolishing old structures and building new ones, restoration makes use of existing materials and infrastructure, reducing waste and conserving resources. Historic buildings are often constructed with high-quality, durable materials that can last for centuries with proper care. By choosing historic restoration, you’re making a sustainable choice that reduces your environmental impact while preserving the craftsmanship of the past.
Enhanced Property Value
A well-executed historic restoration can significantly enhance the value of a property. Restored historic buildings are often seen as unique and desirable, attracting buyers who appreciate the charm and character that only an older building can offer. In many cases, restored properties are eligible for tax incentives and grants, further increasing their financial appeal. Whether you’re restoring a historic home or a commercial property, Green Bay Masonry Pros can help you achieve a restoration that adds both beauty and value to your property.
Types of Historic Restoration Services
At Green Bay Masonry Pros, we offer a comprehensive range of historic restoration services tailored to the specific needs of each project. Our team is skilled in a variety of traditional techniques and materials, ensuring that every restoration is authentic and respectful of the building’s original design.
Masonry Restoration
Masonry is often a key component of historic buildings, and restoring it requires specialized knowledge and techniques. Our masonry restoration services include repointing, brick replacement, stone repair, and cleaning. We use historically accurate materials and methods to ensure that the restored masonry blends seamlessly with the original structure, preserving its historical integrity while enhancing its durability.
Structural Stabilization
Many historic buildings require structural stabilization to ensure their safety and longevity. Our team is experienced in assessing and reinforcing the structural elements of historic buildings, including foundations, walls, and chimneys. We take great care to preserve as much of the original structure as possible while implementing modern techniques to enhance stability and safety.
Facade Restoration
The facade of a historic building is often its most visible and iconic feature. Our facade restoration services focus on repairing and revitalizing exterior surfaces, including brick, stone, stucco, and wood. We meticulously match materials and finishes to the original design, ensuring that the restored facade retains its historical character while looking fresh and well-maintained.
Interior Restoration
Historic interiors often feature unique architectural details, such as decorative plasterwork, wood paneling, and original flooring. Our interior restoration services include repairing and restoring these elements to their former glory. We work with skilled artisans to recreate historical details where necessary, ensuring that the interior of the building reflects its historical significance while meeting modern standards of comfort and functionality.

Our Process
At Green Bay Masonry Pros, we approach every historic restoration project with a deep respect for the building’s history and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. Our process is designed to ensure that each restoration is completed with the highest level of care and attention to detail.
Consultation and Assessment
The first step in our restoration process is a thorough consultation and assessment of the building. We work closely with you to understand your goals for the restoration and to assess the condition of the building. This includes a detailed inspection of the structure, materials, and any historical documentation available. Based on this assessment, we develop a comprehensive restoration plan that outlines the scope of work, materials, and techniques to be used.
Restoration and Repair
Our team of skilled craftsmen then begins the restoration process, using historically accurate methods and materials to repair and restore the building. We take great care to preserve as much of the original structure as possible, carefully matching new materials to the existing ones to ensure a seamless blend. Throughout the restoration, we maintain strict quality control standards to ensure that every aspect of the project meets our high expectations.
Finishing and Preservation
Once the restoration work is complete, we focus on the finishing touches that bring the project to life. This may include painting, sealing, or applying protective coatings to preserve the restored materials.
