“The work Statewide RM recently completed on one of our client sites was textbook masonry restoration. Their attention to detail spoke volumes about their superb craftsmanship. I’d say you could take other vendors to school on the jobs they do, just so they can learn how work should really be done.”

Brick by Brick
Restoration of masonry requires in-depth knowledge and experience, along with attention to every detail.
Bricks that are replaced must match the appearance of existing bricks, which typically have changed color from decades of exposure to the elements. The color of the mortar and joint profile must also fit with the rest of the building.
When repointing, mortar must be cut away carefully at just the right depth, so that brick is not damaged, the space between bricks does not widen and the new mortar is deep enough so that repointing is not needed again for many years.
We provide:
- Pressure washing and cleaning with chemicals or abrasives
- Repair or replacement of lintels and relief plates
- Installation of thru-wall flashing
- Rebuilding or demolition and replacement of bowed or unsound areas
- Mechanical grinding and pointing, matching the existing mortar color and joint profile
- Application of clear sealer
