Natural stone repointing is the process of removing failing or deteriorated mortar from the joints between stonework and replacing it with new, compatible mortar. This strengthens the structure, prevents water infiltration, and restores the original look and durability of the stonework. Proper repointing protects the natural stone from long-term damage while maintaining its durability, appearance, and value.
-
Brick repointing and brick repair are essential processes that restore masonry's strength, appearance, and longevity. Repointing involves carefully removing and replacing deteriorated mortar joints with new, compatible mortar to protect the brickwork from water damage and structural issues. Brick repair addresses damaged, cracked, or broken bricks by repairing or replacing them to maintain the integrity and look of the wall. Together, these services preserve your masonry’s durability, appearance, and value over time.
-
Masonry mortar matching is the process of carefully replicating the original mortar’s color, texture, composition, and strength to ensure seamless repairs that blend with the existing masonry. Proper mortar matching not only maintains the appearance of the masonry but also ensures compatibility, preventing future damage and preserving your home's durability, appearance, and value.
-
Masonry cleaning and sealing involve safely removing dirt, stains, mortar smears, and efflorescence from brick or stone surfaces and applying a protective sealant to guard against moisture, weathering, and staining. Cleaning restores the masonry's natural appearance, while sealing helps preserve its appearance, extend its lifespan, and protect it from future damage.

Interior masonry repointing and repair involve removing old, deteriorated mortar from between bricks or stones inside a home and replacing it with new, compatible mortar. This process restores the wall’s structural strength, prevents moisture damage, and improves the overall appearance. Repairs may also include fixing cracks, replacing damaged bricks or stones, and addressing surface issues to preserve the integrity and longevity of foundation walls, exposed walls, aging masonry, fireplaces, plaster-covered masonry, or past repair damage.
