Masonry & Concrete Services in Northern Liberties, PA

Northern Liberties is one of Philadelphia's most energetic neighborhoods — a community of old factory buildings converted to lofts, 19th-century brick rowhouses, and new construction that has transformed along 2nd Street and its surrounding blocks over the past two decades. The mix of historic masonry and new concrete development creates a varied range of masonry needs, and Natalini Masonry Inc serves Northern Liberties property owners with experience across both the old and the new.

For Northern Liberties' historic rowhouse stock — the brick buildings along Fairmount Avenue, North 2nd Street, and the surrounding residential blocks — brick repointing is the most critical maintenance service. Original brick from the 1880s through 1920s needs mortar that is compatible with its softness and fired properties; using modern high-strength Portland cement mortars on historic brick causes spalling, trapping moisture that destroys the original brick face. We use correctly proportioned lime mortars for repointing work on historic Northern Liberties structures.

For the concrete and masonry components of Northern Liberties' newer construction — the infill development projects, converted commercial buildings, and new residential builds throughout the neighborhood — we handle concrete flatwork, front entrance masonry, and any masonry repair or remediation that comes up. The mix of old and new in this neighborhood means our work here draws on the full breadth of our capabilities.
