Brick Repair & Replacement

Brick masonry is remarkably durable, but even the toughest bricks eventually need repair. Whether from impact damage, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture intrusion, or simple age, damaged bricks compromise both the appearance and structural integrity of your masonry.

Professional brick repair encompasses a range of services from replacing individual damaged bricks to rebuilding entire wall sections. Skilled masons can source matching bricks, carefully remove damaged units, and install replacements that blend seamlessly with existing work.

Common brick problems include spalling (where the brick face flakes off), cracking, discoloration, and complete brick failure. These issues often indicate underlying problems like water infiltration, foundation movement, or improper original construction.

When replacing bricks, matching the size, color, texture, and bond pattern of existing masonry is crucial. Experienced contractors maintain inventories of salvaged and new bricks specifically for repair work, and know how to age new bricks to match weathered surroundings.

Beyond individual brick replacement, comprehensive brick repair may include crack stitching, wall tie replacement, lintel repair, and addressing the root causes of brick damage. A thorough assessment by a qualified mason ensures all problems are identified and properly addressed.
