Historic Stone Restoration in the Black Hills

Some walls are worth saving, and need to be rebuilt the right way. From Deadwood’s hillside terraces to old stone fireplaces across the region, Stonecraft restores historic masonry with care, structural integrity, and a careful approach that respects the past while preparing for the future.

Restoration Done the Right Way

Our restoration work includes:

  • Rebuilding dry-stacked or mortared retaining walls using original or matching stone
  • Restoring historic fireplaces and stone features to safe, usable condition
  • Correcting poor drainage and failed construction from earlier repairs
  • Preserving the look while reinforcing structural performance

Rebuilding the Past

Mark’s experience in masonry and homebuilding makes him especially well-suited to historic restoration. In Deadwood, many of the original retaining walls were built a century ago — and we’ve been trusted to take them apart, reuse what we can, and rebuild them to modern standards. We bring that same level of care to restoration projects throughout Spearfish, Lead, and the wider Black Hills.

Restoration Work Across the Hills

Stonecraft has completed restoration work in Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish, and Belle Fourche. Whether you’re preserving a historic property or fixing a crumbling wall in your backyard, we’ll assess what’s salvageable and develop a plan that honors the original character while reinforcing it for the long haul.

Let's Talk Before It Crumbles Further

Start with a paid site consult. We’ll evaluate your stonework, explain what can be saved, and offer a restoration plan that respects your structure and your budget. If you hire us to fix it, the fee goes toward the project.

FAQ

Can you reuse the original stone during restoration?

Often, yes. We carefully dismantle failing structures and reuse as much of the original material as possible. When needed, we source stone that closely matches in size and texture.

Is this just cosmetic repair?

A: No — we rebuild for structural integrity and longevity. Restoration includes modern drainage and support systems hidden beneath traditional finishes.
