Masonry is one of the most durable, long-lasting, and versatile construction materials used in Texas. Whether using brick or stone, each piece possesses a unique beauty, resembling a work of art. Many single-family homes, shopping centers, and commercial office buildings feature attractive brick facades. Although wood and stucco are prevalent, brick still reigns supreme. However, this region’s position within “Tornado Alley” and its frequently wet, wild weather and sometimes violent storms inevitably take their toll, necessitating repairs to critical structures such as chimneys, brick steps, and brick windows if they are to maintain their strength, safety, and overall appeal.
For over 25 years, the skilled masonry contractors at Masters Services have been a beacon of reliability, standing the test of time and answering the call from battle-worn structures across the DFW Metroplex area. Our expertise shines through in the superior masonry repairs we provide, all of which adhere to state and local building codes as required by law.
Masonry Chimney Services In Fort Worth, TX
The chimney, often the tallest and most exposed masonry structure in a home, takes the brunt of the weather. Masters Services provides a complete range of repairs to maintain its structural integrity and functionality, ensuring your home’s safety is always a top priority.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing is a restorative process in which a masonry contractor carefully removes and replaces deteriorated mortar joints with fresh, durable mortar. It’s vital for sealing out moisture, reinforcing the structure, and preventing further decay.
Brick repair
When individual bricks are cracked, spalled, or damaged, they are carefully removed and replaced, restoring the chimney’s appearance and structural integrity.
Chimney crown
The crown protects the area surrounding the flue pipe from water damage. Repairing or rebuilding a damaged crown is essential to prevent rain and even pests from getting into the flue, which can lead to extensive masonry damage and health hazards.
Partial chimney rebuilding
When masonry damage is confined to a specific section of the chimney, such as the crown, a partial rebuild can restore its stability and appearance.
Ground-up chimney rebuilding
In cases of severe structural damage or extensive deterioration beyond repair, a complete ground-up rebuild of a code-compliant chimney may be necessary to prevent structural collapse.
Firebox repair/rebuilding
The area where the fire burns, the firebox, endures intense heat. Repairing or rebuilding its refractory bricks and mortar is critical for a safer and more efficient fireplace operation.
Around the Home
In addition to chimneys, our masonry contractors help homeowners repair other vital masonry structures around their property, which are equally susceptible to wear and tear from weather and daily use:
Brick steps
Often, the first impression of your home is aging brick steps, which can suffer from efflorescence, cracked bricks, and eroding mortar, becoming both an eyesore and a liability. Our masonry contractors restore their stability, appearance, and welcoming appeal.
Brick windows
Many homeowners are proud of the intricate brickwork surrounding their windows. However, continuous exposure to the elements can cause the brick and mortar to crack, spall, or erode, leading to water leaks, drafts, and compromised aesthetics. Expert repair preserves these beautiful architectural features and protects your home’s interior.
