Brick Repair & Restoration Services
Expert brick repair and restoration to protect your property and restore its beauty.

Why Brick Repair Matters for Your Rochester Home
Your brick walls and structures face tough conditions in Rochester. Winter freezes, summer heat, and constant moisture exposure take a toll on even the strongest brickwork. Small cracks and loose mortar might not seem urgent, but they let water seep in. That water freezes and expands during our cold months, causing more damage. What starts as a minor issue can turn into expensive repairs if you wait too long.
We specialize in catching brick problems early and fixing them right. Whether you have crumbling mortar, cracked bricks, or water damage, we restore your masonry to like-new condition. Our team has repaired brick on homes built in the early 1900s and new construction from last year. We understand how different brick types age and what each one needs to stay strong for decades.
Rochester homeowners choose us because we provide honest assessments and quality repairs that last. We do not push unnecessary work or use shortcuts. Every repair we make protects your investment and keeps your home looking its best.
Common Brick Problems We Fix
Brick damage shows up in different ways. Some problems are obvious, like large cracks or missing bricks. Others are subtle, like slight discoloration or mortar that feels sandy when you touch it. Here are the most common issues we repair for Rochester homeowners.
Signs Your Bricks Need Repair
- Cracked or broken bricks: Cracks let water penetrate your walls and can spread to surrounding bricks. We remove damaged bricks and replace them with matching ones.
- Spalling bricks: When brick faces flake or chip off, it means water has gotten inside and frozen. This damage gets worse fast and needs immediate attention.
- White powdery residue (efflorescence): This white staining shows that water is moving through your bricks and bringing salts to the surface. It signals a moisture problem we need to address.
- Loose or missing mortar: Old mortar crumbles and falls out over time. Missing mortar joints let water in and weaken your wall structure.
- Bulging or bowing walls: If your brick wall curves outward, it means structural problems that need expert repair before the wall fails.
We also fix damage from removed vines, satellite dishes, or old fixtures. These leave holes and damaged areas that need proper repair to prevent water intrusion. Our team matches your existing brick color and style so repairs blend seamlessly with your original masonry.
Our Brick Repair and Restoration Process
We follow a proven process that ensures long-lasting repairs. First, we inspect your brickwork thoroughly to understand the full extent of damage. We look for hidden problems, not just the obvious issues you can see. This comprehensive assessment lets us give you an accurate estimate and timeline.
Next, we prepare the work area carefully. We remove damaged bricks and clean out deteriorated mortar joints. This prep work is crucial because repairs only hold if we build on a solid foundation. We take time to do it right even though it takes longer than quick patch jobs.
Then comes the actual repair work. For brick replacement, we source bricks that match your existing ones in size, color, and texture. For mortar repairs, we custom-mix mortar to match your current mortar color. This attention to detail means your repairs look like original construction, not obvious patches.
We also address the root causes of damage. If water intrusion caused your brick problems, we fix the drainage issues or seal gaps where water enters. If settling foundations created cracks, we stabilize the structure before repairing bricks. This comprehensive approach prevents the same problems from coming back.
Finally, we clean up thoroughly and inspect our work. You get a restored brick surface that looks great and stands up to Rochester weather for years to come. Many clients tell us they cannot even spot where we made repairs because our color matching is so precise.
Benefits of Professional Brick Restoration
Professional brick repair protects your home in ways that go beyond appearance. Properly restored brickwork creates a solid barrier against water, wind, and temperature extremes. This protection saves you money on heating and cooling costs because your walls maintain better insulation.
Restored brickwork also increases your property value. Real estate agents tell us that well-maintained masonry is a major selling point. Buyers see solid brickwork as a sign that the home has been cared for. Damaged or crumbling brick, on the other hand, raises concerns about other hidden problems.
For historic homes, proper restoration preserves the character that makes your property special. Rochester has many beautiful older homes with unique brick patterns and colors. We specialize in matching historic brick and mortar so your repairs maintain the authentic look. This expertise matters whether you are restoring a century-old home or maintaining a newer property built with traditional materials.
Quick DIY patches rarely work because brick repair requires specific knowledge and materials. The wrong mortar mix can damage bricks. Poor color matching stands out. Incomplete repairs let water continue causing damage behind the patch. Our professional approach addresses these issues correctly the first time.
We also handle larger restoration projects like rebuilding entire brick walls or restoring decorative brickwork. Whether you need a few bricks replaced or a complete wall rebuilt, we have the skills and experience to restore your masonry to its original strength and beauty. Our work comes with warranties because we stand behind the quality of every repair. For more information about our mortar joint repair services, check out our tuckpointing page. We also offer chimney repair and rebuilding for brick chimneys that need restoration.
