Our team brings years of hands-on experience to every project, ensuring your masonry looks great and lasts for decades.
SCM Santa Clara Masonry specializes in brick repair throughout Santa Clara, CA and surrounding areas. We understand the unique challenges that local weather and soil conditions create for brick structures. From small crack repairs to full wall restorations, we handle everything with the same level of care and precision.
Why Brick Repair Matters
Ignoring damaged bricks is not just about looks. When water gets into cracks and damaged mortar joints, it starts a cycle of destruction. Water freezes and expands in winter, making cracks bigger. It seeps behind brick faces, weakening the wall structure. Over time, this leads to spalling bricks where the face of the brick literally pops off.
Common Brick Problems We Fix
- •Cracked or broken bricks from settling or impact damage
- •Spalling bricks where the surface flakes or crumbles away
- •Loose bricks that have separated from the mortar
- •Water damage and efflorescence (white mineral deposits)
- •Deteriorated mortar joints that need repointing
- •Bulging or leaning brick walls showing structural issues
Each of these problems gets worse with time. What starts as a small crack can become a structural concern that costs thousands more to fix. That is why we recommend addressing brick damage as soon as you notice it.
Our Brick Restoration Process
When you call us for brick repair, we start with a thorough inspection. We look beyond the obvious damage to identify underlying causes. Is there a drainage problem? Foundation settlement? Understanding the root cause means we can fix it right the first time.
Step 1: Assessment and Planning
We examine every aspect of your damaged brickwork. We take photos, check for structural concerns, and discuss your goals for the project. During this phase, we also match your existing brick and mortar as closely as possible. This attention to detail ensures repairs blend seamlessly with your original masonry.
Step 2: Preparation and Removal
Before we can restore, we need to remove damaged materials carefully. We protect surrounding areas with tarps and barriers. Then we remove broken bricks and deteriorated mortar using the right tools for the job. This prep work sets the foundation for long-lasting repairs. Our experience with chimney repair projects has taught us the importance of proper preparation.
Step 3: Repair and Restoration
Now comes the skilled work. We install new bricks using proper techniques and the correct mortar mix. Each brick is set level and plumb. Mortar joints are tooled to match your existing pattern. We take our time because rushing leads to problems down the road. Whether you need tuckpointing services or complete brick replacement, we handle it with precision.
Step 4: Finishing and Cleanup
After repairs cure properly, we clean the work area thoroughly. We remove all debris, wash down the brickwork, and make sure your property looks better than when we arrived. You get a final walkthrough where we explain the work completed and answer any questions about maintenance.
