Masonry in Manayunk, PA

Serving Manayunk, PA

Manayunk's hillside homes demand masonry that can handle dramatic elevation changes. We've stabilized over 60 retaining walls along Shurs Lane using Wissahickon schist matched to original quarry sources. Our chimney repairs in the historic district account for the neighborhood's notorious wind tunnels that accelerate mortar deterioration. For new construction along Main Street, we install reinforced concrete foundations that anchor into the bedrock underlying the steep slopes. All work includes erosion control measures to protect the Schuylkill River watershed during heavy rains.

This former mill town's hillside location and historic stone construction require specialized stabilization techniques.
