What Is Masonry Restoration?
Protecting structure, performance, and appearance
Masonry restoration is the skilled process of diagnosing, repairing, and preserving brick, stone, and block assemblies so they remain structurally sound, weather-resistant, and visually consistent with the original design. Unlike basic patching, restoration addresses root causes—moisture intrusion, failed joints, corroded steel, and material incompatibility—so problems do not return.
At JB Masonry, restoration typically includes repointing deteriorated mortar joints, replacing damaged units, stabilizing cracks, improving flashing and drainage, and applying breathable protection. We carefully match mortar color, texture, and strength, ensuring compatibility that maintains vapor permeability and prevents new damage while preserving the building’s character.
Assessment, repair, cleaning, and protection
Every project begins with a thorough inspection. We document conditions with photos, map defects, test existing mortar composition, check moisture paths, and review structural and envelope details. You receive a clear scope of work aligned with your goals, timeline, and budget, along with material specifications and a phased plan when needed to minimize disruption.
Execution follows a meticulous sequence: site protection and safety setup; removal of failed joints; precision repointing; selective unit replacement; crack stitching and anchoring; steel lintel or shelf-angle repair; low-pressure or steam cleaning; and application of breathable water repellents. JB Masonry closes with quality checks, client walkthrough, care guidelines, and maintenance recommendations for long-term performance.
Brick, stone, block, and historic systems
Repointing and tuckpointing with custom mortar blends and joint profiles restore weather resistance and original aesthetics. Structural crack repair with helical stitching, wall anchoring, and pinning returns stability while minimizing visual impact. We also inspect and service steel elements—lintels, shelf angles, and anchors—to remove corrosion and re-establish proper load transfer.
Unit repairs include like-for-like brick and block replacement, stone dutchman patches, and color-matched mineral coatings where appropriate. We rebuild parapets, reset coping stones, and rehabilitate chimneys—crowns, flues, fireboxes, and flashing—to resolve leaks and prevent freeze-thaw damage. Detailing work maintains clean lines and authentic textures across facades and features.
Moisture management is central to durability. We upgrade through-wall flashing and weeps, improve cavity drainage, and apply vapor-permeable water repellents that resist wind-driven rain without trapping moisture. Cleaning options range from gentle rinses and steam to targeted chemical methods for efflorescence or biological growth, always chosen to protect the substrate and finishes.
