What Richmond chimneys deal with
Local dossier · Richmond, TX
Matching mortar on a genuinely historic building is a sourcing exercise before it is a trowel exercise, and it is where most period repointing goes wrong. The material is lime-based rather than Portland-cement-based, it is softer than anything sold as general-purpose mortar, and it is specified by more than colour — the binder, the aggregate size and the sand's own colour all show in a finished joint, and a mix that matches on a sample board can read wrong across a wall. Getting it right means analysing what is there rather than approximating it, sourcing a sand that matches the original aggregate, and mixing and curing lime properly, which is slower and considerably less forgiving of weather than modern mortar. In Gulf humidity the curing conditions themselves need managing. Prime Chimney Experts prices period work with that time in it and says so at the outset, because a quote that matches a modern repoint on price is a quote to do a modern repoint — and a hard mix on soft historic brick is the one masonry mistake that cannot be undone.
The 19th-century Fort Bend county seat and the master-planned Aliana and Long Meadow Farms growth around it — two centuries of construction inside one set of city limits.
