Question: "Are you going to use lime putty mortar to repoint my historic property?" The U.S. Heritage Group can help answer this question and others relating to the conservation and repair of historic masonry. The group is the first company in America to provide practical, step-by-step workshops on the "how to's" of lime mortar repointing and the repair of historic masonry buildings for architects, contractors and serious homeowners. The company has a 12,000-sq. ft. two-level training center with classrooms, a hands-on workshop complete with historic brick and stone walls, testing laboratory with national sand library, rare book collection, and a historic mortar factory. The knowledge base of the U.S. Heritage Group is diverse, representing many European countries. The group is best known for assisting architects in the restoration of landmark properties by establishing traditional lime mortar matches and offering quality control through contractor training, pre-blended lime mortars and working advisor services at the site.
