San Diego Masonry Repairs and San Diego Historical Masonry Restoration

Whether we have an opportunity to restore a historical building, or are involved in the construction of a contemporary home, we at Schraner Masonry believe in a marriage of traditional skills and the latest  technologies.

When it comes to the restoration of Historical and ornately decorated buildings, Schraner Masonry has a skilled team of craftsmen who are able to care for the most sensitive of architectural designs. For our restoration projects, we endeavor to only use indigenous materials wherever possible, in order to ensure that they complement the original design.

We understand the importance of masonry restoration. This is why we endeavor to ensure that all buildings are maintained in good condition, whether through light or heavy restoration. It is important for every homeowner to consult a skilled masonry company in order to ensure that all appropriate action and precautions are taken to ensure that the building remains stable and safe to live in. This is why we always use all the right building materials and masonry techniques when restoring a home. All our restoration work is tailor-made to the type of building material used, be it stone, brick, concrete, terra cotta or terrazzo.

Before we begin the restoration process, we will have to identify any prior work or treatments which may have been done such that compensations may be made to account for these alterations. All our masons are professionals who always take into consideration all that’s necessary including coating treatments, any repairs and adjustments. We realize that there are many treatments and procedures that may be done to a home which can damage it further.

When it comes to repairs, Schraner Masonry offers a range of solutions for your home. The first and most important is how we deal with water – masonry’s worst enemy.
Another common repair procedure that we do is repointing which involves replacing damaged or deteriorated mortar between the stone, brick or concrete. Our masons have years of experience in this field, and as such will be best placed to advice you on whether or not you will require some upgrades over the older materials used.

Other repairs that we handle include: bulges in concrete due to excessive pressure on the back side of the wall; cracks in concrete due to vertical or horizontal stress on the masonry surface; deteriorating mortar joints; leaning walls, sinking/ settling, as well as the coming apart of brick, stone or blocks due to age and deterioration of mortar between masonry units.
