Brick repair and repointing
Repair work may include damaged bricks, deteriorated mortar joints and adjoining masonry. We review the condition of the existing work and discuss material matching and the repair method, particularly where the original appearance matters.
- Brick replacement and repairs
- Mortar-joint repointing
- Tuckpointing
- Matching the surrounding masonry
Stone and facade restoration
Restoration considers the building as well as the individual repair. We discuss cleaning, material compatibility, cracks, chips and spalling, with attention to the existing surfaces and architectural details.
- Stone cleaning and restoration
- Stain and biological-growth removal
- Crack, chip and spalling repairs
- Facade restoration and original-material matching
Concrete and foundation repairs
Cracks, worn surfaces and damaged concrete can have different causes and require different responses. We review the condition before discussing repair, resurfacing or further assessment. The proposal identifies the work appropriate to the particular surface or structure.
- Foundation crack repair
- Concrete repair and resurfacing
- Surface deterioration and damaged areas
- Repair and maintenance planning
Stucco repairs
Stucco work includes repairing cracks and damaged areas, reviewing signs of water damage, and matching the surrounding texture and color. The condition of the existing assembly informs the repair scope.
- Stucco repair and restoration
- Cracks, holes and damaged areas
- Texture and color matching
- Water-damage investigation and related coordination
Chimney repair and rebuilding
We discuss the masonry condition, access and extent of the proposed chimney work. Repair, resurfacing and rebuild scopes are established after assessment, including issues related to deteriorated mortar, damaged masonry or water entry.
- Chimney masonry repairs
- Repointing and resurfacing
- Rebuild work within the agreed scope
- Leak-related repairs and maintenance
Masonry waterproofing
Water-related symptoms need to be considered alongside the condition of the masonry and surrounding details. We review the affected areas and discuss waterproofing or associated repairs as part of a defined scope.
Assessment and ongoing maintenance
Send photographs, the property location and a description of what you have noticed, including when it began and whether water enters the area. We arrange a site review and distinguish surface repairs from concerns requiring further structural assessment. Photographs are useful preparation for a visit, rather than a substitute for one.
