At JM Restoration LLC, we specialize in professional masonry restoration services throughout South Milwaukee and nearby areas.
Whether you're maintaining a historic structure, repairing a damaged wall, or improving your home's curb appeal, our skilled masonry team delivers restoration work that blends function with craftsmanship. We restore brick and stone to their original strength and beauty while reinforcing long-term durability.
What Is Masonry Restoration?
Masonry restoration involves repairing and renewing existing brick, stone, or mortar surfaces that have deteriorated over time. Unlike basic masonry repair, restoration is a more comprehensive process that often includes cleaning, tuckpointing, material replacement, sealing, and structural adjustments.
Restoration is ideal for:
Historic homes or buildings
Brick facades with worn joints
Stonework showing signs of cracking or shifting
Chimneys, steps, and retaining walls exposed to moisture and freeze-thaw damage
Masonry that has settled or become unstable over time
At JM Restoration LLC, we approach each project with respect for the original structure while using modern tools and materials that improve strength and weather resistance.
Why Masonry Restoration Is Important
Ignoring aging or damaged masonry can lead to more costly problems in the future, including:
Water infiltration and mold
Brick or stone collapse
Reduced property value
Safety hazards for occupants or visitors
Restoration helps prevent these issues by addressing small problems before they become major ones. It's also an investment in preserving your property’s visual appeal and historical character.
Signs You Need Masonry Restoration
If you're unsure whether your property needs restoration services, look for these common signs:
Cracked, missing, or crumbling mortar joints
Discolored or flaking bricks or stones
Gaps between masonry and windows, doors, or roofing
White powdery residue on the surface (efflorescence)
Bowing or bulging walls
Loose bricks or stones that can be moved by hand
Water damage on interior walls near masonry structures
If you’ve noticed any of these conditions, JM Restoration LLC can perform a detailed inspection and recommend the right restoration plan.
Our Masonry Restoration Process
Every masonry restoration project is unique, and we tailor our process to the needs of your structure and materials. Our restoration services typically include:
We begin with a comprehensive on-site inspection to determine the extent of deterioration and identify any underlying causes, such as drainage issues or foundation movement.
Full Evaluation
Cleaning and Surface Prep
Surface grime, mold, and deteriorated materials are removed using low-pressure washing, hand tools, or specialized cleaners. This allows us to assess the full condition of the masonry and prepare it for repair.
Mortar Joint Restoration (Tuckpointing)
We remove old, cracked, or crumbling mortar and replace it with new, color-matched mortar. Proper joint restoration improves both appearance and structural integrity.
Brick and Stone Replacement
Damaged or missing masonry units are carefully removed and replaced with materials that match the size, shape, and color of the original.
Crack Repair and Sealing
We seal cracks and apply protective treatments where needed to prevent further water penetration and deterioration.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. We specialize in historic restoration, using tools and materials that match original designs and maintain architectural authenticity.
How long does masonry restoration take?
Timelines vary depending on the project size and severity of damage. Small restorations may take a day or two; larger or historic structures may require a week or more.
Will the new mortar match my existing masonry?
We use color-matched mortar and blending techniques to ensure the restored areas blend as seamlessly as possible with surrounding materials.
