RESTORING DENVER’S MASONRY SINCE 1982

Looking for a contractor you can trust with the credentials to prove it?

For more than three decades, Cornerstone Restoration has developed a reputation
as the top-notch masonry repair experts in the Denver area.

Cornerstone’s founder John Voelker served as the historical staff expert at the
Rocky Mountain Masonry Institute. John continues to facilitate RMMI’s “Historic
Masonry Certification Class”, as well as lecturing and practical demonstrations
for Colorado Preservation Inc. and the UCD School of Architecture.



Cornerstone Restoration is widely recognized for attention to detail, top notch
quality and strong communication skills before and during the restoration
process.

Unqualified contractors jeopardize property and create costly mortar removals
through lack of care, knowledge, experience and poor execution during the repair
process.

Masonry repair is not like new construction or ‘renovation’, as the existing
structure must be respected and understood as a unique state-of-being. Each
project is approached with expert craftsmanship to create a beautiful, lasting
restoration. We love what we do!

FOUNDATION REPAIR AND RESTORATION

Brick and stone foundation repair in Denver is a service crucially important to
the longevity of historic buildings.

These foundations tend to shift and settle 30-50 years after being built. As
many of the historic buildings in Denver are closer to 100 years old, settlement
cracks often appear.

Without maintaining these foundations properly, many problems may occur:

 1. 1. Mortar erosion

 1. 1. Loose brick and stone

 1. 1. Water infiltration

 1. Bulging walls (delamination)

With brick and stone foundation repairs and restorations, you need a mason you
can trust to not take any shortcuts in fixing not only the symptoms, but solve
the problem.

The last thing you want is a weak or crumbling foundation, so call Cornerstone
Restoration today to get this problem solved before it gets worse.


TUCKPOINTING, POINTING BRICK, REPOINTING, AND MORTAR MATCHING

With the beautiful four seasons we have in Colorado, Denver mortar repair
services are one of the most common reasons to seek out a Denver masonry
contractor.

Denver’s unique climate, experiencing, on average, 141 days of freeze-thaw
cycles combined with high elevation (UV exposure) wreaks havoc on older masonry.

Masonry services are needed when the mortar between the bricks begins to fall
apart. The mortar may be cracked or completely eroded away.

Sloppy examples of tuck-pointing and mortar repair exist all across Denver, but
with over three decades of experience, we will not disappoint you.

Tuckpointing is a process where mortar is replaced between the bricks. Correct
preparation and proper formulations are essential to success. Cured color,
density, texture, porosity and depth must all be considered. Harder is Not
better! This is a common mistake that will eventually fail or need to be
removed.

The terms “Tuckpointing” and “Repointing” can be used interchangeably. A
tuckpoint originally

referred to beaded mortar joint unusual to Denver architecture, yet we have the
tools to replicate it.

Repointing masonry in Denver involves carefully removing the deteriorating
mortar while preserving the original brick, a task worthy of the pros!

Knowledge of correct mortar repair combined with matching mortar appearance and
composition are essential for a lasting masonry restoration. We color-match and
texture-match the mortar to be sure your building looks just as it was intended
to when it was first built.

Cornerstone Restoration has the tools and experience required to repoint brick
and stone flawlessly.


STONE AND BRICK REPAIR, RESTORATION, AND STABILIZATION

As historic brick and stone buildings age, the need for quality masonry repair
and stabilization is a given.

One of the most common problems facing these buildings today is matching brick
and stone work.

Often times, poor workmanship from years ago has rendered a once pristine
work-of-art to a patchwork of mismatched mortar and bricks.

Not every mason is able to fix this:

Camouflaging of irreversible improper repair is not a straightforward process,
but luckily Cornerstone Restoration has developed a proprietary technique of
color matched staining that can restore your brick and mortar to what it was
meant to look like.

If your historic building is in the need of a facelift, there is no Denver mason
better equipped than Cornerstone Restoration.


DENVER, COLORADO’S EXPERT IN HISTORIC MASONRY, BRICK REPAIR AND RESTORATION

You’re the owner of a historic brick building in need of some detailed
restoration, and you need to find the best mason in Denver.

Can you just go to any brick repair contractor that you find in a quick Google
search?

The answer is a simple and resounding “no.”

Whether you are searching for brick repair and restoration, tuckpointing,
foundation repair, or other masonry restoration, it is crucial to get the work
done right, the first time.

Mistakes and poor workmanship are extremely costly to fix, and sadly, often
impossible to reverse.

Can I share a truth about our internet economy?

Anyone can claim experience and expertise, but few can prove it.

Many “experts” are not what they claim. They are new to the trade and don’t have
the knowledge or credentials, nor are they honest enough to tell you this
upfront.

A true mason is an artisan, a master at their trade. And these artisans, they
have decades of experience, buildings displaying their work proudly, and
endorsements that they can point you to.


WHAT WE – THE DENVER BRICK REPAIR EXPERTS – CAN DO FOR YOU

Our older Denver brick homes and buildings were constructed to last for
centuries with proper restoration, maintenance and management.

give your home the facelift that it deserves.

Cornerstone Restoration doesn’t just fix the symptoms:

We assess the whole situation to be sure that we provide a comprehensive
solution so you do not have the same problems resurface.
