Preservation work, done material-correct.
Charleston's historic buildings fail in particular ways, and most of those failures trace to the wrong material meeting an old wall. We diagnose what is actually happening before we specify a repair.
Problem, method, outcome. Every time.
What the building shows
Cracking, hollow stucco, weeping joints, paint that will not hold. On historic fabric these are symptoms. The cause is usually moisture, and often a hard modern material trapping it against soft historic masonry.
What we choose
Material-correct systems: lime mortar and stucco that breathe the way the wall was built to, profiles matched to the original, compliance handled with the Charleston BAR and preservation standards.
What it becomes
A repair that lasts because it works with the building instead of against it. The wall dries, the finish holds, and the work reads as though it was always there.
