Bringing New Life to Old Masonry: Restoration & Repair by 3 Little Pigs Masonry
Throughout Sequim and Port Angeles, historic buildings and beloved homes tell stories through their stonework, brick facades, and masonry features. But time, weather, and wear can damage even the strongest masonry. Jason and Kelsie Peterson of 3 Little Pigs Masonry specialize in bringing these structures back to life through expert restoration and repair services.
Why Masonry Restoration Matters
Masonry damage doesn't heal itself—it gets worse over time. Small cracks allow water to penetrate, leading to larger problems, especially during our wet Olympic Peninsula winters. What starts as minor damage can eventually threaten the entire structure if not properly addressed.
Our Restoration & Repair Expertise
Comprehensive Damage Assessment
Before starting any repair work, we thoroughly evaluate your masonry to understand:
- The original construction methods and materials
- The true extent of damage (often greater than what's visible)
- The underlying causes of the problems
- The best approach to restoration that maintains historical integrity

Benefits of Professional Masonry Restoration
Preserve Your Property's Value and Character
Proper restoration maintains your property's historical value and architectural character. Unlike quick fixes that stand out as obvious repairs, our work blends seamlessly with the original masonry, preserving your building's authentic look and charm.
Prevent Costly Structural Failures
What might seem like minor masonry damage can lead to major structural problems. Our timely, expert repairs prevent small issues from becoming expensive disasters that threaten your entire building.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Deteriorated masonry allows heat to escape and cold air to enter. Our restoration work seals these energy leaks, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing heating and cooling costs.
Stop Water Damage
Damaged masonry often leads to water infiltration, which can cause interior damage, mold growth, and wood rot. Our repairs create a proper moisture barrier that protects your entire structure.
Avoid Unnecessary Replacement
Many damaged masonry features can be restored rather than completely replaced. This approach saves money, reduces waste, and preserves original craftsmanship that simply can't be replicated with modern construction methods.
Enhance Curb Appeal
Restored masonry looks clean, solid, and well-maintained. This immediate improvement to your property's appearance creates a positive impression for visitors, customers, or potential buyers.
