U.S. Heritage Group, Inc.

U.S. Heritage Group, Inc. is a manufacturer and service provider specializing in masonry materials for the restoration and preservation of historic and existing structures. For over 28 years, the company has focused on developing material solutions that address the relationship between building design, environmental exposure, and the long-term performance of masonry assemblies.

The company’s work is based on the understanding that restoration projects require a different approach than new construction. Materials and methods optimized for modern construction can contribute to premature deterioration when applied to historic masonry, particularly in solid multi-wythe wall systems. U.S. Heritage Group develops materials intended to align with the behavior and characteristics of traditional construction.

U.S. Heritage Group manufactures a range of materials designed for masonry restoration and preservation, including bedding and pointing mortars, lime plaster and stucco systems, lime-based binders, stone repair and injections mortars, limewash, shelter coats, and hemp-lime materials.

Bedding and pointing mortars are produced in multiple formulations based on binder and application requirements. These materials are available as standard products or can be customized through laboratory analysis to match original mortars in both performance and appearance.

Repair mortars for stone, concrete, and terra cotta are formulated to replicate the physical characteristics of existing masonry units. These materials are used for patching, capping, and recasting applications, with options for custom color and aggregate matching to ensure continuity with original construction.

Lime-based plaster and stucco systems are manufactured without gypsum, synthetic additives, or acrylic polymers, resulting in materials that remain breathable and sympathetic to historic substrates. Limewash and shelter coat systems provide protective and aesthetic finishes while maintaining vapor permeability and supporting long-term substrate performance.

Material selection plays a critical role in the performance of masonry restoration work. U.S. Heritage Group supports project teams by providing materials and technical services that assist in achieving compatibility with existing masonry systems and compliant with project requirements.

A central component of this support is mortar analysis and matching, where laboratory evaluation is used to replicate original materials in both composition and performance. This enables accurate selection of replacement materials suited to the specific conditions of each project.

In addition, U.S. Heritage Group provides technical consultation, mock-up support, and on-site training, assisting contractors in the proper use and application of materials. These services help maintain consistency between design intent and field execution.

When required, U.S. Heritage Group also provides condition assessment and consulting, supporting evaluation of existing masonry conditions and contributing technical input during early stages of project planning.

U.S. Heritage Group provides a range of services that support masonry restoration projects, including:

These services are used by architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors to address the technical requirements of masonry restoration. Training programs combine classroom instruction with hands-on application to support proper use of traditional materials and techniques.

U.S. Heritage Group maintains a knowledge base that includes technical articles, document libraries, and video tutorials focused on historic masonry preservation. Topics include lime-based materials, restoration methodologies, and common deterioration mechanisms.

The company also provides training and certification programs for masons and design professionals, with a focus on material compatibility, application methods, and quality control.

Through its partner network, U.S. Heritage Group provides access to complementary materials and systems used in restoration projects, including structural reinforcement, moisture management, cleaning solutions, architectural brick, terracotta, and mineral coatings. This network allows project teams to coordinate multiple aspects of restoration within a single framework.

U.S. Heritage Group focuses on improving the long-term performance of masonry structures through compatible materials and technical support. By aligning material properties with the requirements of existing masonry, the company supports durable repairs and preservation of building fabric.

The combination of material manufacturing, laboratory analysis, and technical services positions U.S. Heritage Group as a resource for professionals involved in masonry restoration and preservation.
