This photo was taken years ago — long before the gray hair😁, and before I stopped over processing our photos...

However...same work, same standards.

Many of the buildings we work on today are over 100 years old. This is our wheelhouse.

Remember, quality masonry work isn’t temporary. It’s preservation.

From the ground, this chimney appears sound.
From the roof, the story changes.

The concrete crown is beginning to fail. When small cracks form, water penetrates the surface. During freeze/thaw cycles, that trapped moisture expands — slowly breaking down the top course of brick and mortar.

Chimneys deteriorate from the top down.
Most of this damage goes unnoticed until interior leaks or visible brick failure occur.
Routine inspection and proper crown repair can prevent far more costly structural repairs later.
Prevention is always less expensive than reconstruction.

This time of year, freeze/thaw cycles do more damage to brick and mortar than anything else.

A couple small things to watch for:
• Cracking or missing mortar joints
• Flaking brick faces
• Loose chimney mortar
• Water stains near masonry

Catching these early usually means smaller, simpler repairs later.

Just something to keep an eye on👍

When we inspect masonry, we’re not just looking at brick or mortar — we’re looking for why an issue exists and what actually needs attention.

We focus on explaining what we see, what matters now, and what can wait — so homeowners can make informed decisions without pressure.

This approach has guided our work since 2008.

Spring is a very busy season for masonry restoration, as compromises are revealed by the ways of snow and rain. We are always happy to take a look and answer any questions if needed.

From rough openings to stone character.

📢Extreme cold temperatures increase the risk of frozen pipes

When a pipe freezes, it can burst and cause serious water damage.

🚨Tips to help prevent frozen pipes🚨

-Let faucets drip, especially those on exterior walls
-Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate
-Keep your heat on and set to a consistent temperature
-Seal drafts around doors, windows, and areas near plumbing
-Disconnect outdoor hoses and cover exterior spigots
-Know where your main water shutoff valve is located

If your pipes freeze:

-Turn the affected faucet on slightly
-Warm the pipe gradually using a hair dryer or warm towels — never an open flame
-If a pipe bursts, shut off the main water immediately and contact a plumber
