Professional brick repair and restoration that brings your masonry back to life while preserving its character and strength.
Brick is one of the most durable building materials out there, but it is not indestructible. Over time, weather, moisture, and normal wear can damage your brickwork. What starts as a small crack or a few loose bricks can turn into bigger problems if you do not take care of it quickly.
When you spot damaged bricks on your home, it is more than just an eyesore. Water can seep into those cracks and cause structural damage to the walls behind the brick. In Richmond, CA, where we get our share of rain during the winter months, this moisture intrusion can lead to mold, rot, and even foundation issues. That is why we always tell homeowners to address brick damage as soon as they notice it.
Our brick repair services are designed to catch problems early and fix them right. We have been working with Richmond homeowners for years, and we know exactly what local brick structures face. From the historic homes in Point Richmond to newer properties throughout the city, we have seen it all and fixed it all.
If you are seeing any of these issues around your property, give us a call. We will come out, take a look, and give you an honest assessment of what needs to be done. Learn more about our commitment to Richmond homeowners.
Brick restoration is more than just replacing damaged bricks. It is about matching the original look and feel of your home while making sure the repairs last for decades. We take pride in our attention to detail and our ability to blend new work seamlessly with existing masonry.
We start by carefully examining your brickwork to understand the extent of the damage. Sometimes what looks like a surface issue is actually a sign of a deeper problem. We check for structural concerns, moisture issues, and anything else that might be causing the damage. This thorough inspection helps us give you an accurate estimate and a repair plan that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
One of the trickiest parts of brick restoration is finding bricks that match your existing ones. Brick styles, colors, and sizes have changed over the years, so we often need to track down specialty suppliers or even salvage yards to find the right match. We also custom-mix mortar to match the color and texture of your original mortar joints. This attention to detail ensures your repairs blend in perfectly.
Once we have the right materials, our experienced masons get to work. We carefully remove damaged bricks without disturbing the surrounding structure, then install the replacement bricks using proper techniques and materials. Every joint is filled and finished to match the existing work. We also address any underlying issues like poor drainage or structural settling that might have caused the original damage.

Richmond has some beautiful historic brick buildings and homes, especially in older neighborhoods. These structures tell the story of our city, and we believe in preserving that history. Historic brick restoration requires special knowledge and techniques that go beyond standard repair work.
When we work on historic properties, we follow preservation guidelines that protect the building's character while making it structurally sound. This might mean using lime-based mortars instead of modern Portland cement, or hand-selecting antique bricks that match the age and patina of the originals. We understand that these buildings deserve respect and care.
Our team has experience working with Richmond's planning department and historic preservation requirements. If your property is in a historic district or has landmark status, we know how to navigate the approval process and ensure your repairs meet all the necessary standards. We will handle the paperwork and permits so you do not have to worry about it.
