Mason to repoint and coat cellar walls
Looking for someone to repoint and do a coating of the front wall of my cellar, which has a lot of crumbling mortar and brownstone spalling going on. would also be nice to get the other walls coated/repainted. Would appreciate advice on contractors and/or general advice on how to proceed.

Wow. I don’t quite picture this. Do you share your stones with the houses on the your sides or do they have their separate own walls?

Milestone Restoration.
I just used them for repointing a rubble cellar wall.
Good price and they are the only ones who actually were able to answer the architects questions.
