Brick Repair & Restoration Services

Your brick walls and structures tell a story. Whether they are part of your home's original charm or a newer addition, they deserve expert care when problems arise. At CDM Concord Masonry, we specialize in brick repair and restoration that brings your masonry back to life while maintaining its authentic character.

Brick damage happens for many reasons. Water intrusion weakens mortar joints over time. Settling foundations create cracks and gaps. Freezing temperatures cause spalling where the brick surface flakes away. Even simple age takes its toll on older masonry. When you notice crumbling mortar, loose bricks, or visible cracks, quick action prevents small issues from becoming major structural problems.

Our team approaches each project with a craftsman's eye. We start by identifying the root cause of the damage, not just treating visible symptoms. This thorough assessment means your repairs last for decades, not just years. We match existing brick patterns, colors, and textures so repairs blend seamlessly with your original masonry work.

Every brick structure faces unique challenges based on its age, location, and exposure to the elements. Here's what we commonly see in Concord, CA and how we address these issues:

Cracked and Damaged Bricks

Cracks in brick walls signal stress from foundation movement, water damage, or impact. We carefully remove damaged bricks and install matching replacements that restore structural integrity. The key is addressing the underlying cause while making the repair.

Deteriorating Mortar Joints

When mortar crumbles and falls out, water gets behind your bricks. This leads to bigger problems fast. Our tuckpointing and repointing services remove old mortar and replace it with fresh material that protects your masonry for years to come.

• Spalling brick surfaces that flake and crumble
• Efflorescence showing white salt deposits on brick faces
• Leaning or bulging walls indicating structural issues
• Missing bricks creating gaps in your masonry
• Water stains and moisture damage inside walls

Concord, CA has beautiful historic buildings with brick work that deserves special care. Restoring historic masonry requires different techniques than modern repairs. Old bricks were fired differently and have unique characteristics. The mortar used decades ago had different compositions than what we use today.

We take pride in our restoration work that honors these differences. When working on historic properties, we research the original construction methods. We source materials that match the era of your building. Our craftsmen use traditional techniques when appropriate, ensuring repairs respect the building's heritage while meeting modern durability standards.

This attention to detail matters for homeowners who value authenticity. It also matters for properties in historic districts where preservation guidelines apply. Whether your project involves a century-old home or a commercial building with architectural significance, we handle restoration with the care it deserves.
