Concrete Repairs

Concrete is sounded to determine areas of delamination. These areas are removed and repaired with polymer modified repair mortar products.

Rebar Concerns

The concrete around exposed steel is chipped back until sound concrete is located. The steel is then cleaned and coated with an anti-corrosion coating product. The exposed concrete is then coated for a concrete repair.

Crack Repairs

Cracks in the concrete are cut out and repaired by polymer modified repair mortar products and/or epoxy products.

Parging

Parging involves the application of a coating over a wall surface, most commonly cement. We specialize in parging foundations, basements walls, exterior walls and masonry chimneys.

Window sills protect the masonry below it, as part of the wall. A cracked or damaged sill can cause rotting of the wall behind the skill, spalling of the brick below, and other issues.

Chimney Services

Fireplaces

Fireplaces are often the focal point in a family living room. We can address issues such as back drafting, which is characterized by smoke drafting into the room. Replacing cracked bricks in the firebox or cracked/damaged hearths can bring life and functionality back to your fireplace.

Stone & Brick Chimneys

Chimney repairs include the repair or replacements of chimney caps, flue replacement, repair, rebuilds, and repointing of damaged joints. Clean and well-maintained chimneys protect your investment from toxic dangers or fires.

Custom Inspections & Maintenance Packages

Custom Inspections

Thorough inspections can detect masonry deterioration and issues to prevent costly future repairs. Correctly diagnosing the underlying problem of these issues can help save time and money in the long term.

Custom inspections involve visiting the building and reviewing the restorations that need to be made. Once the inspection is complete, we draft a report outlining a rehabilitation and maintenance program to meet the needs of historic or landmark buildings and address the concerns of the client.
