Interior Masonry Restoration Projects
Interior Brick & Stone Repair
Interior masonry can include exposed brick walls, stone walls, chimneys, foundations, basement walls, and other masonry features. K.B. Masonry first looks at the condition of the masonry, mortar, previous repairs, and surrounding area before determining the repair. The goal is to address the problem while keeping the finished work consistent with the existing masonry.
Exposed Brick & Stone
Exposed masonry is highly visible inside the home. Mortar color, joint finish, cleaning, brick or stone condition, and previous repairs can all affect the finished appearance. K.B. Masonry repairs exposed brick and stone so new work fits naturally with the surrounding masonry.
“Kody’s attention to detail, ability to listen to our needs, and thoroughly explain his process is exceptional. The work he did exposing the brick on our living room wall was excellent!”
Brick & Stone Repairs That Fit The Room
Interior masonry should look like part of the home, not a repair added afterward. K.B. Masonry considers the existing mortar, joint profile, surface condition, brick or stone, and surrounding finishes when completing the repair.
“This Mason is an Artist. He transformed a hidden rubble of a chimney in our dining room into a masterpiece of brick and stone!”
Basement Masonry & Interior Wall Repair
Cracked, loose, deteriorated, or damaged brick and stone are common in older basement walls and foundations. K.B. Masonry evaluates the masonry, mortar joints, moisture conditions, and previous repairs before determining what should be repaired. Interior basement masonry may involve repointing, stone repair, brick repair, mortar repair, or correcting previous work.
“Kody did repair work on a brick wall in my basement. It turned out to be more complicated than we thought but his work was immaculate!”
When Interior Masonry Needs Attention
Common problems include loose or missing mortar, cracked brick, deteriorated stone, previous repairs that do not match, and masonry affected by moisture or age. Because interior masonry is seen every day, the material and finish matter as much as completing the repair correctly.
Clean Work Inside The Home
Interior masonry work requires more control than exterior work. K.B. Masonry protects the surrounding interior area with temporary dust enclosures as needed, floor protection, keeps the project organized, cleans during the work, and completes a final cleaning of the project area.
“He does a proper job and you can visibly see the difference.”
Interior Masonry Throughout The Year
Interior masonry repair can be completed throughout the year and can be especially practical during colder months. K.B. Masonry works on exposed brick, stone, basement walls, interior chimneys, and other interior masonry throughout the Lehigh Valley.
