What to know before requesting repair help
Can loose limestone be reset?
Often, yes, if the surrounding wall and support are stable. The provider should check why the stone loosened before resetting it.
Is stone repair different from brick repair?
Yes. Stone repair can involve different mortar, shapes, bedding, caps, and drainage concerns. Mixed brick-and-stone areas should be scoped as one assembly.
