MASONRY
Driveway cracked? Crumbling?
With over 500 tons of salt poured onto our roads annually, flucuations of temperature due to the temperate climate our region is in, uncared-for concrete over time can become unsightly and dangerous. Cappa Contracting specializes in concrete driveway installations and repairs for residential or commercial customers.
Solve Water Penetration, Strengthen the Bonds Between Bricks, and Add Years to the Life of Your Home or Commercial Building
There are many more reasons to undertake brick pointing than to simply replace any old unsightly mortar between the bricks. Naturally your property will look better, but a brick pointing repair will also help prevent a wide range of problems:
- Deterioration or continued deterioration of the masonry due to the freeze-thaw cycle
- Prevent water from entering in beyond the normal characteristics of masonry surfaces which can damage the inside of your home or building
- Costly structural repairs if not corrected early enough, while strengthening the overall structural integrity of your building’s exterior facade.
We will look for weathered, crumbling and loose bricks; voids in brick joints; and weathered, cracked and joint separation of the mortar. If circumstances arise, we will test for water penetration and leakage, in addition to looking for water damage to help us determine the most important areas for brick repair, replacement and restoration.
After a thorough inspection, we will recommend a comprehensive solution to repair, restore and rejuvenate your brickwork with a variety of time-tested techniques: grinding/removing old mortar joints, spot pointing, tuckpointing, masonry pinning with helifix pins, masonry weatherproofing and sealers, and more.
Beautify the Surface of Your Foundation with a Garden State Brickface and Siding Exterior Masonry Solution
The Problem: Over 70% of the buildings in the world are built of masonry. But as your home or building ages and settles, your foundation can develop a variety of minor non-structural problems, including minor cracks, spalling and unsightly discoloration.
The Solution: An ugly, exposed foundation can be restored and rejuvenated with our exterior masonry surfaces.
After a thorough inspection, we will recommend a solution that will include repair of cracks and other minor damage, above ground waterproofing where needed and resurfacing with your choice of our high quality Brickface, Stucco, Stone Veneer, or Hardcoat exterior masonry surfaces or a durable, long-lasting acrylic elastomeric coating.
Exterior Masonry Restoration and Chimney Repair
Over time, your chimney will deteriorate due to the effects of aging and weather: rain, snow, wind… even sun. In winter, the freeze and thaw process will expand and contract the joints between the bricks in your chimney, causing cracks, gaps and disintegration of the mortar. All of this can lead to water penetration into your home, and the continued weakening and decay of your chimney.
After a thorough inspection, we will recommend a solution to completely repair, restore and rejuvenate the exterior masonry of your chimney. After we repair any loose or damaged brickwork and re-point the masonry, we will resurface your chimney with your choice of our high quality Brickface, Stucco, Stone Veneer, or Hardcoat exterior surfaces.
