Expert brick repair and restoration that brings your masonry back to life.
Why Brick Repair Matters for Your Eugene Home
Your brick walls and structures are more than just good looks. They protect your home from weather, pests, and structural damage. When bricks crack, chip, or start falling apart, water can get inside. That water leads to bigger problems like mold, foundation issues, and even interior damage. Here in Eugene, OR, our wet winters make brick maintenance especially important.
We see it all the time. A small crack turns into a major repair job because homeowners wait too long. The good news is that catching brick damage early saves you money and headaches down the road. Our team knows exactly what to look for and how to fix it right the first time.
Brick repair is not just about filling cracks. It is about matching the right mortar, finding replacement bricks that blend in, and understanding how your structure works together. We have restored hundreds of brick walls, chimneys, and facades across Eugene. Your home deserves that same level of care and expertise.
Common Brick Problems We Fix
Brick damage shows up in different ways. Sometimes you will see obvious cracks. Other times, the damage hides behind what looks like normal wear and tear. Knowing what to look for helps you catch problems before they get worse.
Signs Your Bricks Need Repair:
- Cracked or chipped bricks that expose the interior
- White powdery residue on brick surfaces, called efflorescence
- Loose or missing bricks in walls or walkways
- Crumbling mortar joints between bricks
- Bulging or bowing brick walls
- Water stains or dampness near brick structures
Each of these problems has a different cause and solution. Cracked bricks might come from foundation settling or freeze-thaw cycles. Efflorescence means moisture is moving through your bricks. Bulging walls signal serious structural issues that need immediate attention. We diagnose the root cause, not just the symptoms you can see.
Some brick damage comes from age. Bricks from the early 1900s were made differently than modern bricks. Historic homes need special care to preserve their character while fixing the problems. We work with all brick types and ages, from brand new construction to century-old buildings.
Our Brick Repair and Restoration Process
We do not rush brick repairs. Quality work takes time and the right approach. Here is how we handle every brick repair and restoration project in Eugene.
First, we inspect your bricks thoroughly. We look at the damage you can see and check for hidden problems. This includes testing mortar hardness, checking for water damage behind the bricks, and making sure your structure is sound. You get a detailed explanation of what we find and what needs fixing.
Next comes material matching. Your repair should blend in perfectly with your existing bricks. We source replacement bricks that match your current ones in size, color, and texture. For historic homes, this sometimes means finding specialty bricks or custom masonry solutions. The mortar gets the same attention. We mix mortar to match the strength and color of your original joints.
The actual repair work follows proven methods. We carefully remove damaged bricks without disturbing the surrounding structure. New bricks get set with proper mortar coverage and tooling. If your project involves tuckpointing or repointing, we grind out old mortar to the right depth and pack in new mortar that will last decades.
Finally, we clean up thoroughly and inspect our work. Your property should look better than when we arrived. We haul away all debris and make sure you are completely satisfied with the repair. Most brick repairs come with our workmanship guarantee because we stand behind what we do.
