Upon referral from a previous client the homeowner contacted us to repair the paver brick front entrance. The paver brick had an historical value and for this reason new construction was not considered. The existing damaged mortar and brick were removed and replaced in order to keep the same look and prestige that was present for many years. |

This column was damaged by a vehicle. The column served as support for the carport and also had a sidewall that concealed the homeowner’s waste container. The column was removed and constructed in the same design. The overall height of the integral privacy wall was increased to help conceal the waste container. |

This wall was not going to last much longer. We rebuilt the 2 damaged sections (center) and the failing column, reclaiming the original bricks for the rebuild. |

Homeowner was concerned about settlement cracks over their front porch arch. The arch itself was still sound but with time would also fail; this timely repair avoided a much bigger job later. We built a frame to support the arch itself, removed the inside trim board and then removed the 3 courses of brick above the arch on both the inside and outside wall. The arch itself remained intact. We could then re-lay these courses restoring structural strength and good looks. The top course in the outside wall was laid from the inside avoiding any need to disturb the outside trim. |

The homeowners were putting their home on the market. This settlement crack would have been an issue at closing. However, we were able to remove the damaged brick and re-lay them as they had been originally. This provided a structural solution - not just a cosmetic one. |

New homeowners found that a wall located at the front of their home was damaged. It posed a threat to children and was a safety hazard. The damaged section of the wall was removed and totally rebuilt. The brick were reclaimed and used as needed for the construction. Upon completion, the wall was structurally sound and stable. If you can't tell the difference, look more closely at the lower courses and compare the cracks and mortar patches! |

This column was damaged by a falling limb during an ice storm. We demolished the damaged section, leaving exterior light wiring intact, disposing of the debris without damage to surrounding areas. The column was then rebuilt leaving the wiring for an exterior light in place. The column is of same design and painted white to match existing brickwork. |

An accent wall you would think would be far enough from traffic. You would be wrong. We rebuilt the damaged section. As good as new. |
