Brick & Masonry

Old brick fails when Portland cement goes in the joints. This shop repoints and repairs in lime mortar matched to the wall, following the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards.

What We Do

• Brick and masonry remediation and repair
• Repointing and mortar matching for historic structures
• Structural masonry repair and modifications
• Surface cleaning, stabilization, and restoration
• Modifications carried out with the long-term health of the structure in mind

Repairs That Respect the Structure

Masonry problems are rarely just cosmetic. Poorly matched mortar or a rushed repair can trap moisture and accelerate damage — costing far more down the line. Our education at The American College of the Building Arts means every repair and modification is carried out knowledgeably, with the best interest of the structure at heart, protecting both its appearance and its lifespan.

Historic & Period-Appropriate Work

For older and historic buildings, materials and methods matter as much as skill. We match mortar profiles, colors, and techniques to the original construction so repairs blend seamlessly and honor the character of the building — preserving both its beauty and its historic significance.

Our Process

1. Assessment — we inspect the masonry and identify the true source of the issue.
2. Recommendation — a clear plan and estimate, in plain language.
3. Remediation — durable, period-appropriate repair executed with care.
4. Final review — we confirm the result meets our standard and yours.
