About Brick & Masonry
Brick and mortar keep water out of your building. When mortar joints crumble, bricks flake or a parapet wall starts to lean, moisture gets in and the damage spreads. We repair masonry so it looks right and, more importantly, keeps the weather out.
From repointing a single wall to rebuilding front steps and retaining walls, we match the existing brick and mortar as closely as we can.

+Questions
What is repointing?
Repointing means removing deteriorated mortar from between the bricks and replacing it with new mortar. It restores the wall's ability to shed water and helps keep the structure sound.
Will the new mortar match my old brick?
We try to match mortar color and joint style to the existing work. We can do a small test area first so you can see how it will look.
How long does masonry repair take?
It depends on the size and condition of the wall. Once we have seen the job we give you a clear scope and an estimate of the time needed.
