Brick Repair & Restoration Services

Why Brick Repair Matters for Your Property

Your brick walls, chimneys, and structures are built to last for decades. But time, weather, and natural settling can cause damage that compromises both the look and safety of your property. Cracked bricks, crumbling mortar, and water damage are not just cosmetic issues. They can lead to serious structural problems if left unaddressed.

Here in Fargo, ND, our harsh winters and temperature swings put extra stress on masonry. Water seeps into small cracks, freezes, and expands. This freeze-thaw cycle breaks down even the strongest brick over time. What starts as a minor crack can quickly turn into a major repair job.

We specialize in catching these problems early and fixing them right. Our brick repair and restoration services bring your masonry back to life while protecting your investment for years to come.

Common Brick Problems We Fix

Signs Your Brickwork Needs Attention

Knowing when to call for brick repair can save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Here are the warning signs we see most often in Fargo area homes and buildings:

• Cracked or broken bricks: Individual bricks with visible cracks or chips that compromise the wall's integrity.
• Deteriorating mortar joints: The mortar between bricks crumbles, recedes, or falls out completely.
• White staining (efflorescence): Salt deposits that appear as white powder or stains on brick surfaces.
• Bulging or bowing walls: Sections of brickwork that lean outward or show signs of structural movement.
• Water stains or moisture damage: Dark spots, staining, or visible moisture indicating water penetration.
• Spalling bricks: Brick surfaces that flake, peel, or chip away exposing the interior.

Each of these problems tells a story about what is happening behind the scenes. We take the time to diagnose the root cause, not just patch the surface. Whether it is poor drainage, failed flashing, or simply age, we fix it right the first time.

Our Brick Restoration Process

How We Bring Your Masonry Back to Life

Restoration is more than just repair. It is about preserving the character and history of your property while ensuring it stands strong for generations. We use proven techniques and premium materials to restore your brickwork to its original beauty.

Our process starts with a thorough inspection. We examine every inch of your brickwork to identify damage, assess structural integrity, and determine the best repair approach. We look for hidden problems that other contractors might miss.

Next, we carefully remove damaged bricks and mortar. This step requires skill and patience. We match replacement bricks to your existing masonry, considering color, size, texture, and age. For historic properties, we source authentic period bricks whenever possible.

We also offer comprehensive tuckpointing and repointing services to restore mortar joints throughout your structure. Our masons mix custom mortar to match the original in both strength and appearance. This attention to detail ensures a seamless repair that blends perfectly with the surrounding brickwork.

Finally, we address any underlying issues like water infiltration or structural movement. Proper restoration means fixing the cause, not just the symptoms. We want your repairs to last, which is why we do not cut corners.
