Stone & Lime Historic Restoration Services

What Stone & Lime Historic Restoration Services does

Stone & Lime Historic Restoration Services is a privately held specialty contracting company founded in 2004 by Patricia Pelchat and Kenneth Uracius. The company began as a supplier of difficult-to-procure masonry restoration products to the historic preservation community and has since evolved into a full-service restoration contractor executing complex masonry projects on iconic American landmarks. Its core technical competency lies in historic masonry restoration techniques, including repointing, stonework repair, structural stabilization, and the in-house development of custom products and materials needed to match historic fabric. The firm also employs 3D scanning and printing to model and reproduce ornamental elements and holds access to rare material stockpiles such as original Portland Brownstone that is no longer quarried.

The company's customer base is anchored by U.S. federal government clients — primarily the National Park Service — and extends to academic institutions, cultural heritage organizations, and religious institutions. Notable projects include the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse restoration in North Carolina (contract value $20.1 million, 2024–2027), Fort Jefferson Moat Wall repairs in Dry Tortugas National Park ($14.4 million, 2024–2026), the Boca Chita Lighthouse in Miami ($1,022,423), and the $2.6 million complete exterior restoration of the Mayflower Meetinghouse in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Stone & Lime operates as both General Contractor and Specialty Contractor depending on project scope, coordinating multiple trades on large restorations while also serving as a masonry subcontractor on projects led by larger general contractors such as Cangelosi-Ward.

Geographically, the firm is headquartered in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, with a second office in Key West, Florida, supporting projects spanning from Massachusetts to Texas. With 11–50 employees and a project-based revenue model tied to competitive bidding on government and institutional contracts, the company generates revenue through one-time project awards rather than recurring or subscription arrangements. There is no evidence of outside equity capital, and the founders retain operational control.
