Steve Preiss is an artist, a craftsman and a reliable contractor I was fortunate to get connected to him through a neighbor who has known him for a long time. We bought our old stone pile almost 2.5 years ago and discovered during our investigations that the seller who had been in the house for 30+ years had never had a mason do any work. It showed. With the aid of another friend who specialized in masonry restoration, I set out with Steve Preiss to tackle all the issues: stone weathered by too hard portland cement mortar, arch keystones slipping because of mortar washout, rotting window frames and sills because of open cracks where wood met stone. Steve Preiss matched mortar color in every area of house. He's done many distinct projects: a chimney, pointing walls, rebuilding a collapsed dry stack wall, rebuilding entryway piers, rebuilding archways, lots of different pointing of stone (mostly) and brick floor (a little bit). He's a gem.
