Repairing masonry and concrete correctly, with the right patching material and the right technique for the damage type, stops that cycle and restores the surface to a condition that holds up. Our handyman masonry specialists repair concrete, repoint mortar joints, patch brick and block, and restore masonry surfaces throughout the property.
Professional Solutions
Masonry repair requires matching the repair material to the existing material, a Portland cement patch applied to a lime mortar joint will be harder than the surrounding mortar and will cause the adjacent brick faces to spall as the harder patch transfers stress differently through freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete patching requires the correct bonding agent and patching compound for the depth and size of the repair so the patch adheres and does not pop loose with the first frost. Kaminskiy Care and Repair’s handyman masonry specialists assess the existing material before selecting patching and repointing compounds, use bonding agents on concrete patches, and match mortar hardness to existing brick and block for repointing work. With crews across the United States, masonry repair done correctly is a call away.
A concrete patch without a bonding agent between the old and new concrete will pop loose within the first freeze-thaw cycle, the two concrete surfaces do not bond without chemical help, and the temperature movement between them breaks the mechanical connection. Our masonry specialists apply bonding agent to every concrete patch before placing patching material.
Concrete patching compound is applied over a bonding agent applied to the existing concrete surface, without it, the patch does not bond and fails with the first freeze-thaw movement.
Repointing mortar is selected to match the hardness and composition of the existing mortar, a harder mortar will cause brick face spalling; a softer mortar is appropriate for historic and aged masonry.
Structural cracks, those that are widening, offset, or pattern in a way that suggests settlement, are identified and the homeowner advised on structural review before patching is applied as a surface treatment.

BEFORE
AFTERConcrete driveway, walkway, patio, and foundation wall crack repair and surface spall patching, with bonding agent application, correctly mixed patching compound, and surface finish matched to adjacent concrete.
Deteriorated mortar joints raked out to the correct depth and repointed with mortar matched to the existing material, restoring the weathertight seal at every joint in the repaired area.
Concrete step nosing repair, broken step reconstruction, and retaining wall block reset, with drainage assessment behind retaining walls where hydrostatic pressure may be contributing to wall movement.
Concrete, brick, block and stone repaired with the right mix for the job and matched to what is there.
A crack in concrete or a loose brick is a symptom. Water, soil movement and failed mortar are the causes. We fix the crack, the spall or the loose unit, then deal with what caused it: the drainage, the base or the joint. The repair is finished to match the surrounding surface so it reads as one piece.

Concrete shrinks as it cures and moves with the soil under it. Hairline cracks are normal. Wide, offset or growing cracks mean the base is moving or water is getting under the slab, and that is what we look at first.
Mortar is softer than brick on purpose. It is meant to weather and be renewed. Repointing the joints every few decades keeps water out and the brick in. Waiting lets the wall loosen.
A repair that is a different color or texture is a repair you see forever. We match the mortar color, the brick and the concrete finish so the fix blends in.
Most retaining wall failures and step settlement come down to water with nowhere to go. We fix the drainage with the repair, or the repair comes back.

Call 855-695-1195Most cracks can be repaired. Hairline and narrow cracks are cleaned, routed and filled with a flexible or cement-based filler, and surface flaking can be resurfaced. If the slab has heaved, sunk or broken into pieces that move, replacing that section is the honest answer, and we tell you which it is.
In most cases, yes. We match the brick size and color from salvage or current stock and tint the mortar to the existing joints. A fresh repair looks a little newer until it weathers, and we tell you where the match will be close and where it will not.
Tuckpointing, or repointing, means grinding out crumbling mortar joints and packing in new mortar. If the joints are recessed, sandy or missing, or you see white staining and loose bricks, the wall needs it. It is the one repair that keeps a brick wall standing.
Often, yes, if the lean is modest and the wall is not failing. We reset the leaning section, add drainage behind it so water pressure stops pushing, and reset the caps. A wall that has moved a lot or is holding back a slope may need an engineer, and we tell you if that is the case.
It depends on the material, how large the damaged area is, how much has to be removed and rebuilt, and whether drainage work is part of the fix. A crack repair is a small job. Rebuilding steps or a wall section is a larger one. You get the price in writing before we start.
