Masonry & Concrete Services in Fishtown, PA

Fishtown has transformed from a working-class rowhouse neighborhood into one of Philadelphia's most desirable communities — but the architecture hasn't changed. The neighborhood's signature fabric of 19th- and early 20th-century brick rowhouses, now sought after by owners who invest significantly in renovation and restoration, creates strong demand for quality masonry work. Natalini Masonry Inc serves Fishtown property owners with brick repointing, chimney repair, front stoop restoration, and other masonry services.

Brick repointing is the masonry service we perform most in Fishtown. The rowhouses along Girard Avenue, Frankford Avenue, and the side streets branching off them have brick that ranges from 80 to 130 years old, and the mortar joints on most of these structures need professional attention. We grind out failing mortar to the correct depth, match the mortar profile to the original, and repoint with correctly specified material that is compatible with the age and type of brick. Done right, this work protects the building for another 20 to 30 years.

Front stoop and front facade work is closely related to repointing in Fishtown, where the street-facing presentation of a rowhouse is particularly important given the neighborhood's walkable, visually active character. We replace deteriorated front steps and stoops, rebuild crumbling masonry facade details, and restore entry features that have been damaged or poorly repaired in the past. Our work fits the original architectural context rather than standing out awkwardly.
