Listen to the Legends While We Restore Your Historic Stonework
The Voice of Philadelphia Meets the Artisans of Stone
There’s something magical about listening to Merrill Reese’s iconic play-by-play while working on Philadelphia’s historic buildings. At McNamara Masonry Restoration, we often find ourselves drawing parallels between the precision of professional sports commentary and our meticulous approach to masonry restoration.
Just as Reese has been the voice of Philadelphia football since 1977, describing every crucial moment with expert precision, our craftsmen approach each restoration project with the same attention to detail and reverence for tradition.
The Art of Perfect Timing
When you listen to Merrill Reese call a game, you’ll notice how he captures every moment with perfect timing and expertise. Similarly, masonry restoration requires impeccable timing:
• Selecting the right season for outdoor restoration work
• Choosing the optimal moment for mortar application
• Timing the curing process for restored stonework
• Coordinating multiple phases of complex projects
A Legacy of Excellence
Like the legendary broadcaster who has called thousands of games, our masonry experts understand that excellence comes from experience. Every crack, every weathered stone, and every historic facade tells a story that requires specialized knowledge to preserve properly.
The Play-by-Play of Restoration
If Merrill Reese were to call a masonry restoration project, it might sound something like this:
1. The initial inspection, where our experts analyze every detail
2. The careful preparation of surfaces and materials
3. The precise execution of restoration techniques
4. The final touches that bring historic stonework back to life
Building on Tradition
While we work on Philadelphia’s historic buildings, many of our craftsmen enjoy listening to those familiar broadcasts that have become part of our city’s fabric. There’s something uniquely Philadelphia about restoring a century-old building while listening to the voice that has narrated so many historic moments in our city’s sports history.
Whether you’re preserving a historic home, commercial building, or institutional structure, our commitment to excellence matches the high standards set by Philadelphia’s most respected voices. At McNamara Masonry Restoration, we believe in maintaining the integrity of every structure we touch, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the craftsmanship that makes our city’s architecture so special.
Just as every game has its story, every building has its history. Let us help you preserve yours with the attention to detail and expertise it deserves.
