Cleaning, Repointing and Matching Existing Bricks Is an Art

Depending on the condition of the weather bricks, we can clean them with various chemical and natural organic solutions or use sandblasting for more stubborn stains. Repointing is the process of removing and replacing the mortar joints that hold the bricks together. It is a challenging process best left to the pros, as damage to the bricks can ocurred if not done properly. Sometimes brick repair is not enough, and entire sections need to be replaced. We have the experience to get the right match, even for historic buildings.
