Brick Repair & Restoration Services
We bring damaged brick back to life with expert repairs that match your home's original character.
Why Brick Repair Matters for Your Home
Cracked or damaged bricks are not just an eyesore. They let water seep into your walls, which can lead to serious structural problems down the road. When you ignore small cracks today, you might face expensive foundation repairs tomorrow. That is why catching brick damage early saves you money and protects your home.
Here in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, our hot summers and occasional winter rains put extra stress on brick walls. Temperature changes cause bricks to expand and contract, creating tiny cracks that grow over time. We have seen firsthand how a small crack can turn into a major leak after just one heavy rainstorm.
Our team specializes in matching the exact color and texture of your existing bricks. Whether your home is 10 years old or 100 years old, we find the right materials to make repairs blend seamlessly. You should not be able to tell where the old brick ends and the new brick begins.
Beyond looks, proper brick repair restores your home's weather protection. We check for hidden water damage, replace deteriorated bricks, and seal everything up tight. When we finish, your walls will be ready to handle whatever California weather throws at them. Need help with your brick work? Visit our homepage to learn more about our masonry services.
Common Brick Problems We Fix
Every brick home faces different challenges depending on its age and location. We have repaired thousands of brick structures in Rancho Cucamonga and know exactly what to look for. Here are the issues we see most often and how we solve them.
Spalling Brick
Spalling happens when the face of a brick starts flaking off in layers. This usually means water got trapped inside the brick and froze or expanded. Once spalling starts, it spreads quickly. We remove the damaged bricks and replace them with new ones that match perfectly. The key is finding bricks with the same porosity so your wall breathes evenly.
Cracks and Fractures
Cracks can show up for many reasons, from settling foundations to earthquake stress. Small hairline cracks might only need professional tuckpointing, but larger cracks often mean you need brick replacement. We assess each crack to determine if it is structural or cosmetic, then recommend the right fix.
Missing or Loose Bricks
When mortar fails, bricks can become loose or even fall out completely. This creates safety hazards and opens your wall to water damage. We carefully remove loose bricks, clean out old mortar, and reset everything with fresh mortar mix. The new mortar bonds properly and lasts for decades.
Signs You Need Brick Repair:
- •Visible cracks in brick or mortar joints
- •Bricks flaking or peeling on the surface
- •White powder deposits on brick faces
- •Water stains or damp spots on interior walls
- •Loose or wobbly bricks
Our Brick Repair Process
We follow a careful process to ensure your brick repairs look great and last for decades. It starts with understanding what caused the damage in the first place. Sometimes the problem is obvious, like a crack from settling. Other times we need to investigate hidden issues like poor drainage or moisture problems.
Once we identify the cause, we source matching bricks and prepare custom mortar in the right color and strength. We never use whatever bricks happen to be available. Instead, we take the time to find bricks that match your home's original materials. This attention to detail makes all the difference in the final appearance.
During the repair work, we carefully remove damaged bricks without disturbing surrounding areas. We clean out old mortar completely, prep the cavity, and install new bricks with proper bonding techniques. Each brick gets positioned carefully and checked for level. After the mortar cures, we clean up and inspect everything to ensure it meets our standards.
Many homeowners also need chimney repair services when their brick work shows damage. Chimneys face especially harsh conditions and often need attention at the same time as wall repairs. We can handle both projects efficiently and save you time and money by doing everything at once.
