Masonry Contractor serving Berthoud, CO

Chimney deterioration is particularly common in Berthoud's older homes. Many properties feature original brick chimneys that have served for 50 to 100 years or more. These chimneys show various issues from cracked crowns and deteriorated mortar to damaged flues and leaning structures. Properties facing west toward the foothills take the brunt of weather systems moving down from the mountains, accelerating chimney wear. We provide comprehensive chimney repair and rebuilding services that restore safety and function while maintaining the historic character that makes Berthoud homes special.

Foundation issues appear frequently in Berthoud properties due to soil movement and water infiltration. Homes built before modern foundation standards may lack proper waterproofing or drainage systems. We see basement walls with cracks, bowing, or water seepage, particularly after spring snowmelt or heavy rainfall. These problems worsen over time if not addressed. Early intervention with proper foundation repair and waterproofing prevents minor issues from becoming major structural problems. We assess each situation carefully and recommend solutions appropriate for Berthoud's specific conditions.

Outdoor masonry features like patios, retaining walls, and walkways take significant abuse from weather exposure. The temperature swings between summer heat and winter cold cause materials to expand and contract repeatedly. Retaining walls built without proper drainage systems can fail when water freezes behind them. We rebuild these structures with engineering appropriate for local conditions, using proper materials and construction techniques. The result is outdoor masonry that handles Berthoud weather year after year without requiring constant repairs or replacement.
