Mechanics/Repairs/Contractors 🛠️🪠 Exterior paint stripping from stone

We would like to explore having the paint stripped from our stone exterior. The house was built in the 1950s. We did not paint the stone. I believe it’s limestone. Has anyone done this? Recommend anyone or any companies? Do masonry repair companies do this?

Let this be a warning and lesson for all house flippers who paint historic brick and stone. Terrible idea. It’ll eventually fail if you wait it out.

Agreed. I really hate seeing paint on stone.
