Masonry Colorado Springs

There are many historical buildings in Colorado made from stone and brick. Brick especially needs regular maintenance, as over time the mortar holding brick in place tends to deteriorate. Only a knowledgeable mason should ever attempt a brick restoration, as older forms of mortar differ significantly in chemical composition than new materials, and mixing the two can result in major problems for the future structural integrity of the building. Sometimes brick needs mortar joints repairs, or even repointed, a technique that literally fixes the spaces with tiny bits of mortar put in with the point of a trowel. The painstaking process can become necessary to save a building, but can give it many more decades of virtually maintenance free life. A good stone or brick mason understands the geometry and chemistry of your stone and brick installation, and knows how to repair damage, replace pieces that have fallen out, or patch the hole in the fence the errant driver made so that you can not notice the patch.

Often our clients want to mix materials, and our experienced masons can easily work with natural materials and decorative concrete applications. This includes the use of stone and brick veneers where using the natural product could present installation challenges, such as making the weight of a wall too much or not stable enough. Decorative concrete Colorado Springs leans towards blending masonry work that may involve a natural stone footer but a stamped concrete Colorado Springs and stained driveway that is complementary or decorative concrete hearths that are strong and stable while being comfortable to sit on, complementing a solid field stone fireplace. Decorative stone veneer over a block facing is also an economical alternative to solid stone.
