Decorative Brick Repairs
Even though brick is a durable and weather-resistant material, the mortar used in the installation and surrounding forces can make your brick slowly become damaged. If the mortar supporting your brick begins to fail, it can leave you with a lopsided and crumbling wall within months. But our team is here to help!
We offer the services of repointing and tuckpointing to bring restore your wall’s structural integrity. Repointing is the process of restoring the exterior mortar joints where tuckpointing is the process of filling any gaps or voids that the exterior mortar may have. These processes are most commonly performed on bricks that have endured extreme weathering or are suffering from old age.
Brick Maintenance
When it comes to maintaining a brick wall, there are some steps that you can take to ensure that your wall lasts you a lifetime as it should. First, you will want to find any holes in the exterior mortar, if they are small, they can be filled with off the shelf mortar filler to avoid additional water damage. Next, soak the wall using a garden hose from bottom to top to avoid overwatering.
After the entire surface is wet, you can apply the detergent but make sure to use a cleaner that is rated for brick as the wrong cleaner can make dirt stick to the surface of the brick. Brush the cleaner on any tough stains and rinse with a low-pressure washer, then let it dry and apply a sealant!
Indoor Walls

Fire Resistance
Brick is one of the few building materials that are resistant to damage from fire and its because to be made, clay must be fired in a kiln that can reach temperatures of up to 20,000 degrees! This gives the brick natural protection against fire and when disaster can strike at any moment, it’s nice to have reassurance.
Reduced Maintenance
Where wood or metal mailboxes will need hundreds of dollars in maintenance to keep in decent condition for a decade or two, our brick and stone mailboxes offer simplistic maintenance that the standard homeowner can perform.

Brick Veneers
Where decorative brick walls can seem like a faraway dream for the interior of your home, our team is trained in the application process of brick veneers. Brick veneer is thin bricks, so they weigh significantly less and don’t impede structural integrity on walls they are placed on.
Because these brick veneers don’t require a wall to be built or require to rely on their structural integrity, a brick veneer can be placed on pre-existing walls, making the installation process more affordable and in some cases, faster. But remember, brick veneer is not a full replacement for true masonry, they cannot support weight, the walls support the veneer.
