Commercial Masonry
We provide comprehensive commercial masonry services for new construction projects, including brick, block, and stonework. Our team works with architects and contractors to deliver durable, code-compliant structures for retail, healthcare, educational, and municipal buildings. With expertise in modern engineering specifications and materials, we ensure lasting quality and aesthetic appeal for commercial developments.
Historical Restoration
Specializing in historic preservation, we restore and maintain period-accurate masonry for buildings across Maryland and Delaware. Our services include repointing historical mortar joints, replacing damaged bricks with matching materials, and installing restoration anchors. We preserve structural integrity while maintaining original architectural details for downtowns, religious institutions, and historic homes dating back to the 18th century.
Chimney Repairs
Our chimney repair services address safety hazards and structural deterioration through comprehensive solutions. From minor repointing to complete rebuilds, we restore functionality and appearance while ensuring compliance with safety standards. We handle both residential and commercial chimney systems, using materials that match original construction for seamless integration.
Waterproofing Systems
We install advanced waterproofing and moisture barrier systems to protect masonry structures from water damage. Our solutions include fluid-applied and self-adhered air/water resistive barriers that meet stringent energy codes. These systems enhance durability, reduce maintenance costs, and improve energy efficiency while preventing moisture infiltration in commercial and residential buildings.
Air Barrier Installation
Our ABAA-certified team installs high-performance air barrier systems that meet modern energy code requirements. We offer self-adhered sheet, fluid-applied, and vapor-permeable systems that improve building envelope performance. These solutions reduce energy consumption, enhance indoor air quality, and provide long-lasting protection against air leakage and weather infiltration for commercial construction projects.
