Common Masonry Issues Affecting Your Property
As your home’s masonry ages, monitor it for signs of wear and damage. Proactive repairs prevent costly structural issues and maintain curb appeal. Look for indicators needing professional attention.
Cracked & Spalled Brick
Cracked bricks often result from natural settling or excessive moisture infiltration. These fractures can compromise structural integrity if left unaddressed, allowing water to seep into the masonry. Professional brick replacement is essential to prevent further damage.
Damaged Mortar Joints
Mortar joints can erode over time due to freeze-thaw cycles or poor initial installation. Crumbling or missing mortar weakens the bond between bricks, risking instability and water penetration inside the home. Repointing with proper methods will restore structural integrity and protect your home.
Rusted Steel Lintels
Steel lintels above windows and doors can rust when exposed to moisture, especially if improperly installed, trapping water without proper drainage. This rust expands, causing cracks in nearby masonry and potential structural instability. Our installation method ensures long-lasting durability and prevents costly repairs.
Displaced Stones
Displaced stones occur when foundation settling or external impacts loosen masonry units. This misalignment can create gaps, allowing water to infiltrate and exacerbate damage. Professional rebuilding and securing of stones ensure long-term durability and aesthetic appeal.
Loose or Damaged Sills
When a window sill loses its bond with the surrounding mortar, it becomes loose and forms a crack beneath. This gap allows moisture to seep through, potentially damaging the masonry exterior or allowing water inside the home. Our installation method uses a professional grade bonding agent to secure sills and prevent future issues.

Tuckpointing
Masonry walls endure constant exposure to weather, leading to eroded or cracked mortar joints that weaken the structure and permit moisture intrusion. Tuckpointing restores these joints by carefully removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh material. Professional tuckpointing maintains the wall’s durability, prevents further deterioration, and preserves its aesthetic appeal.
Lintel Replacement
Steel or stone lintels support masonry above windows, doors, and openings, but rust, corrosion, or cracking can cause sagging and structural compromise. Lintel replacement involves temporary shoring, removal of the failed lintel, and installation of a new galvanized or stainless steel beam. Proper lintel replacement restores load-bearing capacity, prevents brick displacement, and ensures long-term stability.
Building Restoration
Aging buildings suffer from settlement and wear, resulting in cracked bricks, spalling stone, or shifting facades that affect safety and appearance. Building restoration encompasses repairing damaged masonry and reinforcing weak areas with compatible materials. Comprehensive building restoration revives structural integrity, enhances curb appeal, and extends the lifespan of the property.
Historic Restoration
Historic masonry structures face unique challenges from age and prior alterations, with deteriorating mortar, weathered stone, or incompatible repairs threatening authenticity. Historic restoration uses period-appropriate techniques and matching original materials to repair damage. Careful repairs preserves architectural heritage, maintain accuracy, and protects the building for future generations.
Brick Repair
Bricks in walls and facades can crack, spall, or loosen due to freeze-thaw cycles, impact, or foundation movement, allowing water entry and progressive failure. Brick repair includes removing damaged units, sourcing matching replacements, and resetting them with proper mortar bonding. Targeted brick repair reinforces the masonry assembly, halts ongoing damage, and restores uniform strength and visual
Stone Masonry
Natural stone facades and walls degrade from cracking or joint failure caused by environmental stress and weathering. Stone restoration involve repointing joints, patching cracks, or replacing severely deteriorated stones with matched quarried material. Proper stone masonry repairs maintain structural integrity, improve weather resistance, and preserve the natural appearance of stone construction.

We recently had Monahan Masonry handle tuckpointing and lintel replacement on our 1920s brick home. Their team was professional, punctual, and meticulous in their work.

Best Material For Each Project
Brick
We carefully source bricks to closely match the original in color, size, and texture. Our primary suppliers, Champion Brick, The Brickyard, and County Materials, offer a wide range of options.
Mortar
Mortar selection is an important step for quality masonry restoration. The main factors to consider are mortar color and compressive strength, which vary depending on the specific requirements of the project.
Stone
Wisconsin has several stone quarries near our Ozaukee County office. We obtain 90% of our stone from Lemke Stone and Halquist Stone, both established local suppliers.
Lintels
Lintels can be made from stone, wood, or steel, but most lintels we replace are steel. Steel lintels are available in various sizes and thicknesses to meet structural needs.
