Masonry materials include brick, block, natural stone and cast stone.  Although these materials are very strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing; their preservation is subject to the effects of climate, accidents, and foundation shifting. 

BrickSmart provides a holistic approach to Masonry Restoration and Preservation.  First, any  restoration work needs to match the existing structure–in materials and in workmanship.  Second, the work has to be done in a manner that the rest of your property is protected.  Third, the normal day-to-day activities at your place need to be impacted as little as possible.  And lastly, you need to understand the root cause of the issue in the first place–and then what options are available to prevent the problem from ever returning.

At BrickSmart, we’re committed to accomplishing all of these.  You have access, not only to our 40+ years of experience in masonry construction, but also to over 20 years’ experience specifically restoring and preserving masonry structures.

Although masonry materials are very strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing; without proper care and preventative measures, they can deteriorate due to climate-related conditions.
Perhaps you’ve noticed visible deterioration and/or cracking in the masonry, or the structure is leaning or bulging. Or maybe you’ve experienced moisture penetration, or observed unusual stains, or a musty odor,…these are just a few signs that should signal a call to action. These signs are indicators of underlying issues that if professionally treated in the early stages, can save you a great deal of money and headache.
But fixing the observable signs isn’t enough. You need to understand the root cause of the problems as well because the problems are bound to return unless we strike at the root cause of the issue.
At BrickSmart, we educate our clients so that they can make informed decisions, and then we offer what options are available to help keep the problems from returning…ever.

Lightning strikes, trees falling, vehicular crashes, earthquakes, and high winds are a few of the causes of accidental damage to masonry.  When this happens, you need the damage repaired so that it’s as if nothing ever happened.  

At BrickSmart, we work closely with you to see that you have access to all your options for your best outcome after things have been disrupted by an unexpected acccident.

When the foundation of any structure moves, it inevitably causes problems with the whole structure.  When that structure has masonry walls, they typically crack with the movement.  This can sometimes seem like it’s no big deal; but left unresolved, cracks in an exterior wall can invite a whole host of problems.  These may include: water penetration, mold, rot, critters living inside the walls, to name a few–not to mention the devaluation of your property.

At BrickSmart, we provide expertise and a depth of experience to seamlessly repair the damage.  We don’t stop there–we offer consulting and resources to help assure that the foundation is stabilized.  Otherwise, if the root cause of the problem isn’t addressed, the cracking may very well return.
