Brick and masonry repair in the Houston Heights
The Heights is full of early 1900s homes, many on pier-and-beam foundations, with brick chimneys, brick porch steps, and brick or concrete walks, plus the brick storefronts along 19th Street.
We rebuild brick steps and porches, restore old chimneys, and repoint with mortar matched to the original, so the repair fits the house.

The Heights notes
What to know before a masonry project in the Heights
Historic district approvals
Much of the Heights is in city historic districts. Exterior changes visible from the street can need approval before work starts; matching repairs are usually simplest.
Old chimneys
Many chimneys here are decades old, with cracked crowns and worn joints. Where needed, we repair or rebuild the top, resurface or rebuild the crown, replace the cap, and reseal the flashing with NP-1.
Steps and porches
Brick steps and porch floors crack and settle. We rebuild them on a proper base, including herringbone and other patterns.
