Our Process

01

A detailed inspection identifies failing joints, damaged brick and stone, chimney concerns, and water entry.

02

Plan & Match

We match historic brick, stone, and lime mortar so the repair fits the character of your Richmond home.

03

Restore

Surgical removal of old mortar and manual packing of new joints using artisanal methods.

04

Final Walkthrough

A site walkthrough to ensure quality, clean-up, and that the historic integrity is preserved.

Our Legacy

Masonry has been our family's trade for four generations. The skills behind Core Masonry RVA were passed down by hand, on real job sites, from one generation to the next — how to read an old wall, how to choose the right mortar, and how to do work that still looks right years later. Owner John Pearse carries that tradition forward in Richmond today, treating every home as if it were our own and every historic wall as something worth preserving.
