Brick Warehouse Masonry Restoration and Repointing
Near Frederick, MarylandExterior work included rebuilding, repairing, and re-pointing the brick walls and stone foundation using traditional lime based mortar. The masonry was surfaced cleaned to halt deterioration with low-pressure water and soft bristle brushes. We also selectively hand cleaned deteriorated joints and re-pointed to match existing to reflect the original texture, craftsmanship, style. Salvaged soft brick was used where appropriate to supplement the many missing or deteriorated bricks.
