Preservation Works Ltd. is dedicated to historically appropriate brick and stone restoration including repointing using traditional lime based mortar. We preserve and repair pre W.W.II (older and historic) properties with tried and true traditional building techniques in an effort to maintain our architectural heritage.
We serve the Lehigh Valley including Easton, Bethlehem and Allentown. We regularly work in Philadelphia, Bucks County, The Main Line, Montgomery County, and the surrounding suburbs.
Additionally, Preservation Works Ltd. installs American Clay plaster and custom decorative lime plaster for interior renovations and in new construction. Using traditional clay or lime plaster we can create the feel of timeless old world wall finishes that are as “green” and sustainable as they are beautiful.
Preservation Works Ltd. makes it’s home in Easton PA. We are a licensed contractor in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in Philadelphia. We incorporate recent advances in the field of historic preservation with a deep concern for using sustainable, non-toxic green building materials in the restoration of our collective architectural past. We use only traditional materials with the intent of making repairs that stand the test of time.
Estimates: We can offer a quick verbal “guesstimate” of project costs during a site visit. Upon tentative agreement, we will supply a detailed written proposal. Our estimates involve a detailed analysis of the project with a description and explanation of what we feel is the best method of repair.

Save your old plaster walls it is the most authentic solution for maintaining the historic character of older homes but just as importantly, it is the environmentally responsible course of action.
Most cracked or damaged plaster can be easily repaired. There is no need to cover old plaster with drywall; a solution that often causes additional problems. Removal of old plaster is very dusty and adds to our landfill problems. Once repaired, old plaster will continue to outlast drywall. Contact us for more information.
