Repair scope
Repairs that solve the visible damage and any potential problems behind it.
Masonry damage often starts small: a washed-out joint, a step crack, a little crack in your sill, spalling brick, bricks peeling near a downspout, or brick face falling off after winter. Mills Masonry Restoration looks at the full area in person so the repair is practical, durable, and visually consistent.

Remove failed work
Damaged material is cut out cleanly so the repair has a sound base.
Rebuild and blend
Brick, stone, and mortar are finished to suit the existing property.
Is repointing enough for damaged masonry?
Sometimes. If the brick or stone is still sound, repointing can restore the joint and reduce water entry. If units are cracked, loose, or spalling, replacement may be needed too.
Should I repair masonry before winter?
Open joints and cracked brick can take on water before freeze and thaw cycles. If the damage is active, it is worth having it reviewed before colder weather.
