Preserving Boston’s Architectural Legacy

 At R. Buckley Construction Inc, we specialize in historical masonry restoration throughout Boston and the Greater Boston area. For over 20 years, we’ve helped property owners, architects, and preservation professionals restore and protect the unique character of Boston’s older and historic buildings.

Our mission is simple:
Maintain authenticity. Strengthen structural integrity. Respect historic craftsmanship.

Expert Historical Masonry Restoration

Historic buildings require more than standard masonry work—they demand a deep understanding of traditional techniques, period-appropriate materials, and the architectural history of Boston’s neighborhoods. Our team brings all three to every project.

Our expertise includes:
  • Historic brick restoration & repointing
  • Stone repair and replacement
  • Lime mortar repointing
  • Facade preservation
  • Waterproofing designed for historic structures
  • Repair of age-related deterioration
  • Chimney restoration for historic homes
  • Structural stabilization 

Traditional Methods & Authentic Materials

Using the wrong materials can harm a historic structure. That’s why we work with traditional masonry methods and chemically compatible materials—especially important when dealing with Boston’s common 18th- and 19th-century brick and stonework.


We match:


  • Mortar composition
  • Brick color and texture
  • Stone type
  • Historic tooling patterns


The result is a restoration that blends seamlessly with the original construction while ensuring long-term durability.
