Masonry in Fishtown, PA

Serving Fishtown, PA

Fishtown’s mix of 19th-century worker cottages and new construction requires adaptable masonry solutions. We’ve repaired original brick facades on Aramingo Avenue using custom-blended mortars, then crossed the street to build modern glass-block accent walls. Our team knows which materials will pass inspection for ADU conversions—a growing need in this popular neighborhood. We also address common issues in older Fishtown homes: crumbling coal chute lintels, deteriorated cellar stairs, and parged foundation walls that trap moisture. For new builds, we install brick fronts with proper expansion joints to prevent cracking as structures settle.

Rapid gentrification brings both historic preservation needs and modern material demands. High water table requires careful foundation work.
