Recognize the damage

What you're
looking at

Homeowners can spot these. Most wait too long. Each one gets worse without a mason.

HighWater Damage

Spalling Face

Freeze-thaw cycling has popped the face off your brick. Left alone, water gets in and the wall starts moving.

Efflorescence Bloom

White salt deposits mean water is moving through your masonry. The stain is cosmetic. The cause is structural.

Leaning Retaining Wall

Hydrostatic pressure from poor drainage is pushing your wall out of plumb. This does not self-correct.

"I've been calling Mortar every spring for seven years. They show up when they say they will, the work is plumb, and they don't disappear when a punch-list item comes back. That's worth more than the bid."
