Brick Repair & Restoration Services

Brick is one of the most durable building materials out there, but it still needs attention over time. If you have noticed cracks in your brick walls, crumbling mortar joints, or water stains near your foundation, these are signs that repairs are needed now, not later. Ignoring damaged brick can lead to serious problems like water intrusion, structural instability, and costly repairs down the road.

Here in Greeley, our weather puts extra stress on masonry. The freeze-thaw cycles we experience each winter cause water to expand inside tiny cracks, making them worse with each season. Summer heat dries out mortar, causing it to shrink and crack. Even small issues can quickly escalate if you wait too long. That is why catching brick damage early and fixing it properly makes such a difference in protecting your investment.

We have been repairing brick homes and buildings throughout Greeley for years, and we have seen it all. From minor cosmetic cracks to major structural repairs, our team knows how to assess the damage accurately and fix it right the first time. We use techniques that match the original construction methods and materials that work with your existing brickwork. The result is a repair that blends in seamlessly and lasts for decades.

Every brick repair project is different, but we see certain issues come up again and again. Understanding what causes these problems helps you catch them early. Here are the most common brick issues we handle for Greeley homeowners:

• Cracked or broken bricks from settling foundations, impact damage, or extreme temperature changes
• Spalling bricks that flake or chip due to moisture trapped inside the brick face
• Deteriorating mortar joints that crumble when you touch them or have visible gaps
• Efflorescence, which appears as white chalky deposits caused by water moving through the masonry
• Bulging or bowing brick walls indicating structural problems that need immediate attention
• Water damage around windows, doors, or foundation level from failed flashing or poor drainage

When we visit your property, we do not just look at the obvious damage. We check the entire structure for underlying issues that might be causing the problems you see. Sometimes what looks like a simple crack is actually a symptom of a bigger issue like foundation movement or water infiltration. Our thorough inspection ensures we address the root cause, not just the visible symptoms.

We follow a proven process that ensures quality results every time. It starts with understanding exactly what is wrong and why. During our free on-site consultation, we inspect your brickwork carefully, take measurements, and discuss your concerns. We explain what we find in plain English, show you the problem areas, and outline your repair options.

Once you approve our estimate, we schedule the work at a time that fits your schedule. Our crew arrives with all the necessary materials and equipment. We protect your landscaping and surrounding areas before starting any demolition. If we need to remove damaged bricks, we do it carefully to avoid disturbing the surrounding masonry. We match replacement bricks as closely as possible to your existing ones, considering color, size, and texture.

The mortar we use is specially formulated to match the strength and composition of your original mortar. Using mortar that is too hard can actually damage old bricks, so we take care to get it right. After installing new bricks or repairing damaged areas, we clean up thoroughly and conduct a final walkthrough with you. We want you to be completely satisfied with the results before we consider the job done. Many of our brick repair clients also need tuckpointing services to restore their mortar joints to peak condition.

Some homeowners try to tackle brick repairs themselves, but this often creates more problems than it solves. Brick repair requires specific skills, tools, and knowledge about masonry materials. Using the wrong mortar mix, applying too much pressure while cleaning, or failing to address underlying moisture issues can all cause expensive damage.

You should call professional masons when you see cracks wider than a quarter inch, when bricks are loose or falling out, or when you notice water leaking through your walls. Any time you see structural movement like walls pulling away from the building or developing a bow, that is an emergency that needs immediate professional attention. Historic homes require special care to preserve their character while making necessary repairs. We have experience with both modern and historic brick restoration.

Do not wait until small problems become major headaches. A crack you can ignore today might let water into your wall cavity, where it can cause rot, mold, and structural damage you cannot see. The longer you wait, the more extensive and expensive the repairs become. If you are concerned about any aspect of your brickwork, give us a call. We offer free consultations and honest assessments. If it does not need fixing yet, we will tell you. If it does, we'll explain exactly what needs to be done and why. Our chimney repair expertise also extends to all brick structures around your property.
