About Foundation Work

The most important part of your house is the foundation, and we give it the serious attention it deserves. Stonehenge Masonry offers a LIFETIME warranty on full foundation restorations. We work on all foundation types, including concrete foundations but with special talent at restoring old stone foundations. A stone foundation is designed to last forever with proper maintenance, needing only a full restoration every 100 years or so. 

Foundations are made of two walls, or “wythes,” of stone, each with a finished face facing outside and inside respectively. Between the 2 wythes is a core filled with grout. Generally, the outside of the foundation is the most important aspect to maintain, since it acts as the main barrier against water penetration and it supports the exterior brickwork. The interior walls are generally of lower quality rubble stone since they are not being battered by the elements, but restoring them can be key to solving water infiltration and moisture issues.

The most common foundation job is exterior repointing. We cut and vacuum all existing joints, re-lay any loose stones, and replace damaged stones, as required. We give the entire wall a deep pointing to completely fill the voids, and we will then apply a final pointing with the original finish.

I had a great experience with Stonhenge Masonry. Their work was outstanding and their price was reasaonnable. Dan, the owner, really impressed me. He gave me creative options to renovate my porch and meet my needs within my budget. He and Dereck did a really good job. The porch was in dire need if repair and now looks great! Kirsha, the office manager, represents the company so well. She is efficient, attentive, customer oriented and great to deal with. No wonder this company currently get a 4.9 average. I gave them a well deserved 5 which is rare for anyone.

It’s hard to get anyone to show up for a small job. Start to finish, Stonehenge treated me like the most important client they had. The best service and workmanship I’ve seen in a long time. I would strongly recommend them without hesitation.

We had Stonehenge replace some sills and repair some other areas of erosion on our 100+ year old house.Dan came to provide the (very reasonable) estimate, and he spent a lot of time patiently explaining the work to be done, our options, and pointing out what was original and what masonry work had been done in the past. It's clear that he has tremendous knowledge of his trade because he told me things about my house that I would have never otherwise known.Kirscha provided clear communication and gave us regular updates on the schedule and what to expect when the crew arrived.We had Ben, Noam, Justin, and Andrea on site to do the work and they were professional, friendly, efficient with their time, and the results were exceptional. They also left the site very clean & tidy.It's obvious from our whole experience with Stonehenge that this company takes great pride in what they do. From someone who relies on Google reviews, this is 100% the company you want working on your house.
