Brick work repairs Not every brick stair or stone wall needs to be ripped down and carted off. We can usually repair your masonry for the cost of the demolition and disposal of a new project. Brick masonry typically does not fail as a whole unit only segments with the old mortar failing. So rebuilding bricks or brick pointing or replacing only the damaged bricks is a great value and keeping the cost of the masonry repair to the repair and not inflated material cost.

Stone wall repairs can be made using existing stone for walls. We like to add additonal granite wall stone to allow for failed sections that were often constructed with no more than rubble. Alot of stone work and stone retaining walls can be rebuilt using all existing  wall stone. Stone foundation walls can be pointed and rebuilt with out any sign of failure. All of our masonry projects and masonry repairs are completed with care and attention to detail.

Masonry repairs can range from the very basic removing a few damaged bricks and repalacing them, to removing sections of foundations and rebuilding them. Every aspect of a professional repair takes experience and knowledge of the materials: how to carefully chisel out the failing sections without having the complete structure collapse, an element we like to mention when stressing the importance of having a experienced, 3rd generation, fully licensed and insured mason. 

Foundation repairs are exactly what they sound like. The foundation of your home is not a place to cut corners or trust the inexperienced to repair.  With a complete home foundation repair we remove all the aged joints, a task for a professional stone mason. You also must know how to differentiate between possible shims or fillers, what's supporting the stone or the joint, what's keeping the stone set in place; all this must be considered when repairing stone walls.
 
 We have the experience from building stone walls and repairing countless amounts of walls. If someone was to remove wall joint supports (stone wedges that hold stones plumb)  that support the stone and replace them with cement as this would cause stress on the joint and later the cracks you paid to have repaired would be back, if the wall didn't collapse, shift, bulge or bow which are all signs of failure. Failure is not a word you ever want to think about, and when you are talking about foundations it becomes a more serious structural failure. Avoid all these concerns and go with a trusted name in Masonry.
