Masonry Restoration
Structural Integrity Starts Here
The main objective of masonry rebuilding is to repair or replace damaged masonry units while restoring the area to a color and quality that appears original to the building. Masonry rebuilding is most often required when there is significant corrosion of the structural steel or when severe deterioration is present – water infiltration being the primary cause of each.
