How much does brick repair cost?

The cost of brick repair depends on several factors including the extent of damage, the number of bricks that need replacement, accessibility of the work area, and whether you need simple repairs or full restoration. Minor repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while extensive restoration projects can run several thousand. We always provide free on-site assessments and detailed estimates before starting any work.

Can you match the color of my existing bricks?

Yes, we specialize in color matching for brick repairs and restoration projects. We carefully analyze your existing bricks, source matching materials from trusted suppliers, and even custom-blend mortar to match your current color perfectly. For historic homes with vintage bricks, we have access to specialty suppliers who carry period-appropriate materials.

How long do brick repairs last?

When done correctly by experienced professionals, brick repairs can last for decades. Quality bricks themselves can last 100 years or more.

Why Brick Repair Matters for Your Home

Your brick walls and structures are more than just beautiful. They protect your home from weather, support structural integrity, and add serious curb appeal. When bricks start to crack, crumble, or show signs of damage, it is not just an eyesore. It is a warning sign that water, pests, and structural issues could be lurking just beneath the surface.

Here in Lafayette, LA, our humid climate and seasonal weather changes put extra stress on masonry. Small cracks can turn into major problems fast. That is where our expert masonry team comes in. We catch issues early, repair them right, and help your brick structures last for decades to come.

Whether you have got a historic home with vintage brickwork or a newer build with modern masonry, we handle it all. From single brick replacement to full wall restoration, we make sure every repair blends seamlessly with your existing structure. You should not have to worry about mismatched colors or sloppy repairs that stick out like a sore thumb.

Common Brick Problems We Fix

Every brick structure faces wear and tear over time. Some problems are obvious, like a crumbling corner or a visible crack running down your wall. Others are sneaky and hide behind the surface until they cause serious damage. We have seen it all, and we know exactly how to fix it.

Here are the most common brick issues we handle:

•Cracked or broken bricks: These let water seep in and can weaken your entire wall structure.
•Spalling (flaking or chipping): When bricks start to flake off in layers, it means moisture has gotten inside and is causing freeze-thaw damage.
•Mortar deterioration: Old, crumbling mortar joints need repointing to keep your bricks stable and weatherproof.
•Efflorescence (white staining): Those white streaks on your bricks are salt deposits from water intrusion and need professional attention.
•Bulging or bowing walls: This is a serious structural issue that requires immediate expert intervention.
•Missing bricks: Gaps in your brickwork compromise both stability and insulation.

We assess each problem carefully and recommend the right repair approach. Sometimes a simple patch job does the trick. Other times, you need more extensive restoration work. Either way, we give you honest assessments and upfront pricing before we start any work.

When you call us for brick repair or restoration, we do not just slap some mortar on and call it a day. We follow a proven process that ensures long-lasting results and preserves the character of your property.

Step 1: Inspection and Assessment

We start with a thorough inspection of your brickwork. We look for visible damage, test the stability of your walls, check for water intrusion, and identify any underlying structural concerns. This helps us understand exactly what is going on and what repairs you actually need. No guesswork, just facts.

Based on our findings, we create a detailed repair plan tailored to your specific situation. We explain what needs to be done, why it matters, and how much it will cost. You get a clear understanding before we touch a single brick. Our goal is to give you options and help you make informed decisions about your property.

Step 3: Expert Repairs and Restoration

Once you approve the plan, our skilled masons get to work. We carefully remove damaged bricks, match mortar colors perfectly, install replacement bricks that blend seamlessly, apply proper tuckpointing and repointing techniques, and ensure structural stability throughout the repair.
