St. Matthew’s Church
We restored the bell tower and the front and rear façades. The work included limestone and ashlar stone replacement, masonry cleaning, repointing and waterproofing. We also provided painting and glazing restoration, making this our total masonry restoration package.
Our historical work also includes mausoleum restoration, and we continue to serve churches, campuses and homeowners across Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
