Masonry Restoration
Masonry restoration is often a bigger project than masonry repair. Damaged masonry may only be a portion of a building’s masonry, and a repair job only focuses on the damaged part. Masonry restoration typically includes the entire building.
Restoration is crucial in older, historical buildings. It can preserve them for generations to come when done properly. Even if your building does not have historical status, restoration improves its appearance which, in turn, improves its value.
What is Masonry?
Masonry is a construction technique that involves stacking materials, such as bricks, stone blocks, or concrete blocks, on top of one another to build structures or walls. Masons layer these materials using mortar, and then an adhesive paste fills the gaps and binds materials together.
