Mertes Contracting has performed millions of dollars worth in Masonry rebuilding projects since our inception into the marketplace over 40 years ago. We have continued to offer a broad range of restoration services to our clients which include brick masonry rebuilding, terra-cotta replacement and repair, full depth stone replacement and "dutchman" stone replacement.

Key Benefits
When supporting steel starts to rust, it causes movement of the brick or stone, which in turn creates openings in the mortar joints and allows elements of the environment and weather to infiltrate the structure. This usually leads to costly repairs. With a proper maintenance program, these problems can be detected and repaired before further damage is caused.

Masonry, although very durable, requires maintenance to keep its natural performance and beauty. However, there comes a time from years of abuse from the elements of nature such as acid rain, freeze thaw affects from harsh winters and pollution that masonry needs to be taken out and replaced.

Mertes Contracting is very knowledgeable in this field from our years of experience in dealing with just about every problem known to a structure. Please allow us the opportunity of working with you and your project to insure the proper repair for the problem at hand.
