Your house and history in good hands

10 years of experience

I, Matthew Hankla, have had a passion for masonry ever since I first held tools in my hands. I love making beautiful dwelling spaces. I respect the work put in by previous masons and try to preserve their work for future habitation.

I have around 10 years of experience in historic restoration and masonry. I serve Richmond, Va, Henrico, VA and nearby areas.

Making a positive impact

brick-by-brick, project-by-project, Matthew Hankla has a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and care that define historic homes and structures in the community. He has studied and apprenticed with historic masons and artisans, cherishing the opportunity to apply this knowledge to his hands-on work. Born in Charlottesville and raised in Madison, Virginia, Matthew moved to Richmond a decade ago and earned a BS in Biology and a BA in Philosophy at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Do it right to last.

I stay on top of the latest knowledge of materials and construction to ensure that my repairs and improvements not only match the historic construction and character of your home but also make changes and improvements that will last and integrate seamlessly with the existing structure.

Historic homes & buildings

My goal is to make sure your home and property’s historic character are preserved and protected for future generations. I strive to replicate and respect the craftsmanship and materials original to your home in everything I do.
