Highland Masonry & Restoration Inc.

About (editorial)

Highland Masonry is the most heavily credentialed historic-restoration shop in the Western New York footprint. The company was founded in 1979, operates out of 33 Ransier Drive in West Seneca, and explicitly markets work using methods approved by the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) — the standard that matters when a project crosses into a state historic district or a tax-credit rehab. Their service line is restoration-first: repointing, stone patching, sandblasting, and waterproofing on aged masonry, with commercial waterproofing as a parallel service for institutional clients. For Rochester homeowners, the trade-off is honest: Highland is not a same-week local crew the way a smaller Rochester-based shop would be, and they lean toward larger restoration scopes rather than single-stoop repairs. They carry an A+ rating with the BBB (not accredited at time of check) and the company's longevity is unmatched in this directory. Strongest fit when documentation and historic-methods compliance are the buying criteria.

47-year-old shop. Strongest fit for SHPO-compliant historic restoration and larger commercial scopes. Buffalo-based but explicitly serves Rochester.
