Preserving New England

You don't have to be a Native New Englander

to create a vivid picture of

"New England"

in your mind.

Town squares, covered bridges, stone walls,

granite posts, gravel roads, country stores and Early-American homes...

The snowy winters, muddy-yet-colorful springs, splendidly warm and bright summers, and the spectacular show of fall foliage as the autumn-crisp settles in... it's New England, rich with history and the pride of preserving it.

Andrew Spielberger of The Mended Wall

believes in, and is committed to,

the preservation of New England.

Historic Preservation

According to the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance, Historic Preservation is

"Recognizing and caring for cherished places from our past, and protecting and maintaining them for future generations. Historic preservation begins with an understanding of the sites and structures that give a community its distinctive character and historic sense of place. Historic preservation protects properties from neglect and stimulates economic vitality and community pride."

Why Historic Preservation?

Historic preservation enriches our lives.

"When historical buildings are torn down or deteriorate, a part of our past disappears forever. We lose history that helps us know who we are. We lose opportunities to live and work in the kinds of interesting and attractive surroundings that older buildings provide," NHPA.

Quality preservation of Colonial New England homes begins with the foundation.

To View Andrew's video on Foundation Repair / Foundation Restoration, see the FOUNDATIONS page of this site.

Typical foundation needs in the preservation of

Early-American homes throughout New England include: Repointing, Straightening of Walls, Drainage,

Removal of Organic Matter, Beam Supporting and

Granite Cap Straightening.

Significantly less expensive than the modern-day concrete foundation alternative which requires jacking/lifting the house, removing the antique foundation, building a concrete foundation and resetting the home, Andrew can repair, renovate, restore and preserve the integrity of your historic home while meeting your modern-day foundation needs.

By rebuilding an old stone wall you are preserving a piece of history and contributing to the character of our unique region. Just as you wouldn't call upon a dentist to repair your car and call it quality, you want to call upon someone who's craft is authentic when it comes to stone work for your property. Andrew will work with you to preserve and restore the integrity of your walls.

If it is a new wall you seek, Andrew will work to design your

walls as he does all his work, bridging the gap between fine craftsmanship and New England practicality, keeping in

integrity with historic quality that lasts and the tradition of

our communites.
