Approach > Philosophy

Every historic masonry structure is as unique and irreplaceable as the hands that originally built it. Saul Restoration Artisans seeks to offer our clients the satisfaction of knowing that any historic property and monument will be preserved using the finest materials available. Artisans feel that the craftsmanship of the work accomplished thus far speaks for itself and is a lasting signature. Using materials such as Jahn Restoration Mortars, www.jahnmortars.com, Natural Hydraulic Lime mortars, and the Helifix fastening system, Artisans pledges lasting repairs with timetested results. By using quality materials to make repairs to historic masonry structures, work is performed once and will not have to be revisited again. In addition, matching the right material to the project is important so as not to cause accelerated deterioration to the masonry substrate by the repairs themselves. Incompatible materials and workmanship can actually cause more harm than good. In some cases, damage to a structure can be irreversible. It is for these reasons Artisans takes the time to educate clients, not only the approach taken, but also why it is the best course of action.

Artisans’ worksites are kept as clean and safe as possible with accessibility to the buildings during the progression of the restoration. The craftsmen are courteous and respectful of the occupants and the surrounding community. As always, Restoration Artisans is in complete compliance with city architectural review boards and local historical associations.
