Tuck Pointing
An old English technique for embellishing brick masonry has evolved into a new meaning in modern times. In Boston, where its mix of weather has necessitated more tuck pointing than most city’s of its size in the world, the terms refer to the application of fresh mortar within weathered joints. Whether tuck-pointing is performed for leak repair, maintenance or cosmetic purposes, we are the most experienced in providing an effective, lasting and visually attractive result.

Masonry Repair
Once mortar bonding the masonry units has failed or when stress caused by underlying rust build up or freeze-thaw has caused wall sections to shift, the distressed area must be dismantled and rebuilt. We are adept at repairing every type and configuration of masonry wall including façades of brick, stone, terra cotta, pre-cast concrete.

Concrete Restoration
Successful concrete restoration is an art that depends on proper preparation. The repair process includes replacement or repositioning of reinforcing steel that originally prevented an adequate depth of concrete cover, installation of mechanical and/or chemical bonding to achieve a monolithic union of old to newly applied concrete and a seamless, cosmetically integrated finish.
 

Waterproofing
Whether the leak is noticed or not, water infiltration can cause havoc in a structure. Besides the visible damage to things like ceilings, wall finishes and floors, water can cause more costly unseen damage. Unnoticed water infiltration will destroy existing insulation since water logged insulation looses all its R-value. Also the moisture trapped in the insulation can cause wood
members to rot, further compounding the damage, which in some cases can cause structural damage.
