Brick & Block Repointing
Mortar joints are one of the most important elements of any brick or block structure, acting as the glue that holds your masonry together. As the mortar ages, it becomes brittle, crumbles, or washes out due to rain, freeze-thaw cycles, and natural deterioration. When this happens, gaps begin to form between the bricks or blocks, allowing moisture to penetrate your walls and potentially causing structural damage. Our brick and block repointing services in Roanoke, VA carefully remove the deteriorated mortar and replace it with a color- and texture-matched mortar that blends seamlessly with your existing masonry. This process not only restores structural strength but also improves appearance and extends the life of your walls for decades.
Benefits of Repointing:
Strengthens weakened masonry
Seals gaps and stops moisture intrusion
Restores structural stability
Improves curb appeal and preserves historic character

Parging Services
Parging is a practical and visually appealing solution for improving the appearance and durability of exterior masonry or block foundation walls. This cement-based coating is applied as a thin layer over the surface, creating a uniform and finished look that hides imperfections such as chips, cracks, or uneven block patterns. Beyond aesthetics, parging provides an extra line of defense against harsh weather conditions, moisture penetration, and surface deterioration—common issues in older homes throughout Roanoke and Southwest Virginia. Whether you want to refresh the look of your foundation or prepare the surface for additional waterproofing, parging offers a cost-effective, protective upgrade.
Common Uses for Parging:
Hides cosmetic flaws or uneven block
Protects exposed masonry from moisture
Improves the appearance of aging foundations
Creates a clean finish for waterproofing projects
Footing Repair & Replacement
Footings serve as the foundational supports for your entire home or building. When they begin to crack, shift, or deteriorate, the stability of the structure above can be significantly compromised. In areas like Roanoke—where soil movement, moisture, and aging homes create added stress—footing problems must be addressed quickly to prevent further damage. Our footing repair and replacement services include a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the deterioration, followed by targeted repairs such as concrete reinforcement, crack stabilization, or complete excavation and replacement when necessary. If additional stabilization is needed, we incorporate underpinning and load-bearing solutions to ensure your structure remains stable for the long term.
Our Footing Repair Services Include:
Full excavation and damage assessment
Concrete reinforcement or full replacement
Underpinning support when necessary
Optional tie-ins with waterproofing or drainage upgrades
Crack Injection & Sealing
Cracks in concrete or masonry may start small, but they can quickly expand due to water intrusion, freeze-thaw cycles, soil movement, or structural stress. Left untreated, these cracks allow moisture and air to enter your home, weaken masonry surfaces, and contribute to mold growth or further foundation issues. Our team uses advanced epoxy and polyurethane injection systems to restore structural integrity and create a fully sealed, water-resistant barrier inside the crack. Epoxy injections bond the crack at a structural level, while polyurethane expands within the voids to create a flexible seal that moves with the foundation. We also provide surface patching for minor cracks and reinforcement for areas prone to recurring movement.
Crack Repair Methods:
Epoxy injection: Bonds structural cracks
Polyurethane injection: Flexible, permanent water sealing
Surface patching: Ideal for minor cracking
Reinforcement options: For recurring or advanced cracking
