Restoration, Repair and Care

Masonry Demolition and Rebuild

When a wall is beyond repair, we take it down with control and rebuild it. We protect what stays, salvage brick and stone that can be reused, and rebuild with proper footings, ties, flashing and drainage.

We lay, repair and restore brick, stone and block in cities across the country. Find yours below and set up a walk-through.

  1. 1We find the causeWe look closely at the masonry and trace the damage back to its source, because a repair only lasts if the cause is solved.
  2. 2We agree the planYou see what needs to come out, what stays and how the repair will blend with the old work.
  3. 3We repair and rebuildDamaged units and mortar are removed carefully and replaced with matching material, laid in the right order.

Questions

Common questions

Can you rebuild with the same brick?

Often yes, we save and clean sound brick and blend in new where needed.

Do I need a permit?

Usually for structural walls and chimneys. We tell you what applies and work with the right offices.

How do you protect the rest of the house?

With shoring, covers and careful sequencing, so the part that stays is not harmed.
