Professional Masonry Contractor Huntington for Brick & Stone Restoration
Repointing, Repair & Preservation Experts. We're Not The Cheapest Option. We're The Option That Does It Right
You don’t think about your masonry until something goes wrong. A crack appears in the exterior wall. You notice mortar crumbling out between the bricks. Maybe water’s getting into the basement after rain. That’s when you realize your home’s masonry is actually pretty important. We get calls about all of it. And honestly, most of these problems could’ve been caught earlier if someone had just looked.
We handle masonry work across Huntington. Brick restoration. Mortar repointing. Foundation repair. Stone work. The kinds of jobs that keep older homes from falling apart.
The Huntington Masonry Problem
Huntington’s got older homes. Really old homes. Beautiful brick construction from the 1900s. Victorian properties. Colonials that have been standing for over a century. That’s the appeal of living here. But here’s the thing about old masonry: it needs care. Real care.
Freeze and thaw cycles crack brick. We get that all winter. Salt air from the Sound eats away at mortar faster than most people realize. Water finds its way into joints. Roots push against foundations. After 50 or 100 years, the mortar holding everything together is often shot. The brick’s probably fine. But that mortar? It’s done.
Most homeowners don’t call us until there’s visible damage. Cracks in the walls. Loose bricks. Water stains inside. By then you’re not just dealing with cosmetic stuff. You’ve got structural concerns. We prefer to catch things before they get there.
What Services We Provide to Our Premium Clients
Brick and Stone Restoration
Your home's original brick is worth preserving. It's not the same as the stuff you can buy today. We do careful restoration work. Not just cleaning. Real restoration with repointing using materials that match what was there originally. Brick replacement when necessary. Waterproofing when needed. For older Huntington homes, this is preservation work. It matters.
Mortar Repointing
Here's something people miss: the mortar fails before the brick does. After 50 years or so, the mortar starts giving up. It recedes. It crumbles. You can literally scrape it out with a screwdriver. Once that happens, water gets everywhere. We remove the old mortar and replace it with new material that matches the original. On historic buildings, we use lime based mortars because that's what performs best on older masonry. It's not complicated but it matters.
Brick and Stone Repair
Sometimes individual bricks crack. Stone gets chips. We source matching materials and rebuild it right. The key is using the correct brick or stone type. You use the wrong one and it'll fail faster and look wrong. We source properly so the repair lasts and blends in.
Foundation and Waterproofing
Cracks in your foundation let water in. That's a serious problem. We assess what's happening, repair structural issues, and waterproof where needed. Foundation work isn't something you skimp on. It affects your whole house. We treat it accordingly.
New Masonry Work
Building an addition? Installing a new chimney? We do new masonry construction that matches your home's existing character. We think about how it integrates with what's already there.
Chimney Repairs
Chimneys are specialized. They deal with heat and moisture and need specific knowledge. We repair damaged chimneys, rebuild sections that are deteriorating, and install proper flashing so water doesn't get into your walls.
Huntington Homeowners Trust Us with Their Homes
