Brick Repair & Replacement

When brick faces spall, crack through, or units shift, joint work alone is not enough. Damaged units come out and new brick goes in with compatible mortar.

Damaged brick units removed from a residential brick wall during replacement

What this service covers

We remove failed brick carefully, prepare the opening, and set replacements that respect the wall's bond pattern. Matching is about size, color range, and texture — not claiming a perfect factory twin every time.

Remove damaged brick units and rebuild with matched brick and compatible mortar. Serving Columbus, Blacklick, Reynoldsburg, Gahanna, Westerville, Dublin, and nearby communities.

FAQ

Can every brick be matched exactly?

Not always. We get as close as practical with available brick and discuss options when the original is discontinued.

Why do brick faces pop off?

Moisture and freeze-thaw, sometimes plus hard mortar trapping water in softer historic brick.

Do you repair lintels too?

Rusted steel lintels can crack brick above openings. We note lintel condition during estimates when it affects the masonry.

Is this structural rebuilding?

Unit replacement restores the masonry leaf. Larger structural movement may need a broader plan — we say so plainly if we see it.
