Delivering licensed, insured brick masonry craftsmanship backed by 20 years of local experience and a 24/7 emergency crew ready to construct, restore, or repair structural brickwork across your property.
From storm damage masonry repairs to custom brick structural builds, our licensed crews handle every project with the same standard of quality, on time and on budget.
Custom clay brick walls, home facades, and structural masonry installations built to withstand heavy weather exposure.
Meticulous mortar joint grinding and filling to lock out rainwater and prevent severe structural masonry degradation.
Complete chimney restoration including spalling brick replacement, mortar repointing, and poured concrete crown installation.
Safe, durable rebuilding of crumbling entryway steps, brick porches, and structural stoop foundations.
Structural wall repair, tie back anchoring, and brick rebuilding to correct leaning or cracked masonry walls.
Specialized washing to eliminate white salt deposits, environmental soot, and stubborn stains from brick surfaces.
Replacement of rusted steel window lintels and cracked brick sills to eliminate structural stress cracks.
Deep penetrating breathable siloxane sealers that shield brickwork from freeze thaw damage and moisture absorption.
Building with brick provides timeless architectural beauty, superior thermal insulation, and exceptional structural durability. We construct full brick home exteriors, interior accent walls, commercial facades, and structural masonry features engineered to handle severe weather conditions.
Our master masons calculate precise load factors, wall ties, and expansion joints to prevent cracking over time. Whether laying traditional red clay bricks, wire cut bricks, or antique salvaged brick, we ensure tight mortar joints and perfect course alignment across every wall.
New Jersey freeze thaw cycles weaken mortar joints long before the bricks themselves break down. When mortar crumbles, water seeps deep into wall structures, causing severe interior moisture damage and loose bricks. Our repointing team restores structural strength by grinding out decayed mortar without damaging surrounding brick edges.
We custom blend fresh mortar to match the strength, composition, and color of your original joints. Using tuckpointing techniques, we fill joint voids cleanly, compressing the mortar to create an impenetrable barrier against driving rain and winter ice.
Crumbling brick steps and loose porch treads create dangerous hazards for visitors while lowering home value. Water infiltrating the open joints of an entryway stoop freezes in winter, popping bricks loose from their mortar beds and sinking step foundations.
We rebuild damaged brick stoops and entry steps from the ground up when necessary, pouring deep concrete footings below the local frost line. We reset loose bricks, replace damaged face units, and integrate natural bluestone or granite treads for a clean, stable finish.
Exposed to harsh roofline wind, snow, and rain, chimney brickwork suffers faster deterioration than any other part of a building. Missing mortar joints and spalling bricks allow water into your home, damaging interior framing and fireplace fireboxes.
Our masonry specialists repair crumbling chimney stacks, replace spalled or cracked bricks, and pour custom concrete crowns to shed water safely away from brick edges. We also rebuild internal firebrick fireboxes using high heat refractory mortar for long term fireplace safety.
Horizontal cracks or stair step cracking above windows and doors usually indicate a failing steel lintel. As structural steel lintels rust, they expand forcefully, lifting the brickwork above and causing severe structural cracking across your building facade.
We safely support overhead brickwork, remove corroded steel lintels, and install new heavy duty galvanized steel supports with proper flashing membranes. We also replace damaged brick window sills with sloped stone or brick layouts to shed water efficiently.
White powdery stains on brick walls, known as efflorescence, occur when water carries natural mineral salts to the brick surface. Left unaddressed, this moisture retention accelerates spalling and destroys brick faces during winter freezing cycles.
We remove stubborn efflorescence, mold, and airborne soot using specialized chemical restoration washes. Following a deep cleanup, we apply penetrating, breathable siloxane sealers that allow trapped internal moisture vapor to escape while completely blocking external water entry.
Executing structural brick masonry that endures decades of New Jersey weather requires specialized technical knowledge and master level hand skills. We combine 20 years of hands-on masonry experience with top grade materials to build and restore brick features that stand up to continuous freeze thaw cycles.
We follow a disciplined masonry process to ensure your brickwork is restored cleanly, accurately, and built to last.
We evaluate your brick structures, check for hidden lintel rust or foundation settling, inspect mortar condition, and identify the root cause of masonry failure.
We source matching brick units in texture, size, and color tone, while custom blending mortar pigments to replicate your existing mortar shade seamlessly.
Our masons grind out ruined mortar or extract broken bricks cleanly, rebuilding the masonry structure with high strength mortar and proper structural ties.
We clean away excess mortar haze and efflorescence, applying a deep penetrating breathable sealant to protect your new brickwork from future moisture damage.
Repointing involves grinding out decayed mortar and packing fresh mortar into the joints. Tuckpointing uses two contrasting colors of mortar to fill joints and create a fine, straight line down the center, giving older brickwork a crisp, refined appearance.
Brick spalling occurs when water enters porous brick units and freezes during winter. As ice expands, it pops off the hard outer face of the brick. Replacing spalled bricks and applying a breathable waterproof sealer stops this cycle.
When performed with high quality weather resistant mortar, a professional repointing job typically lasts between 30 and 50 years before requiring major maintenance again.
Yes, we source from extensive brick suppliers to find matching textures, colors, and dimensions. Our masons also custom blend mortar pigments to match the weathered tone of your original mortar joints.
Cracks and rust stains above windows usually mean the steel lintel supporting the brickwork is corroding. As steel rusts, it expands rapidly and lifts the brickwork above it, requiring lintel replacement and masonry repair.
