Comprehensive Commercial Masonry Solutions

We handle all types of commercial masonry work, from routine maintenance to major construction projects. Here is what we do for Fort Wayne businesses.

Building Repairs and Restoration

Commercial buildings face constant wear from weather, traffic, and use. We repair cracked or spalling bricks, replace damaged sections, and restore deteriorating mortar joints through professional repointing work. Facade restoration brings tired-looking buildings back to life, improving property value and tenant satisfaction. We also repair structural issues like settling foundations, bowing walls, and water damage before they become major problems. Many of these repairs use the same techniques we apply to residential brick repair but scaled up for larger commercial structures.

New Construction and Additions

We build masonry walls for new commercial buildings, additions, and renovations. This includes load-bearing block walls, decorative brick facades, stone veneer installations, and concrete masonry unit construction. We work from architectural plans, coordinating with general contractors, architects, and other trades to keep projects on schedule. Our crews understand commercial construction timelines and the importance of meeting deadlines that affect other trades and overall project completion.

Site Work and Hardscaping

Commercial properties need functional outdoor spaces that handle heavy traffic and look professional. We install retaining walls that create usable building sites and parking areas on sloped properties. Paver walkways and parking areas provide attractive, durable surfaces that hold up better than asphalt. Seating walls, planters, and decorative masonry features enhance curb appeal. Dumpster enclosures and equipment screening walls conceal necessary but unsightly elements while meeting municipal requirements.

Specialized Commercial Applications

We also handle specialized masonry needs:

• Chimney and smokestack repairs for industrial facilities and restaurants
• Loading dock repairs and concrete work for warehouses and distribution centers
• Fire-rated masonry walls and assemblies that meet code requirements
• Historic building restoration preserving original materials and techniques
• Waterproofing and foundation repairs for commercial basements and below-grade spaces
• ADA-compliant ramps, walkways, and accessibility improvements

How We Handle Commercial Projects

Commercial work requires different approaches than residential projects. We have systems in place to manage larger projects efficiently while maintaining quality and safety standards.

Project Planning and Estimation

We start with a thorough site visit to assess your needs and identify any challenges. For repair work, we inspect all affected areas to provide accurate scope of work. For new construction, we review plans and specifications carefully. We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, equipment, and any special requirements. Our estimates include timelines so you can plan accordingly. We also identify permit requirements and coordinate inspections as needed.

Scheduling and Coordination

We understand that your business cannot afford extended downtime. We schedule work to minimize disruption, often working evenings, weekends, or in phases that keep portions of your property accessible. For retail locations, we coordinate around busy seasons. For industrial sites, we work with your maintenance windows. Clear communication ensures everyone knows what to expect and when. If your project includes multiple masonry elements like building repairs and tuckpointing work, we coordinate everything efficiently.

Safety and Site Management

Commercial job sites require strict safety protocols. Our crews use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow OSHA safety standards. We establish clear work zones separated from customer and employee areas. Equipment and materials are secured overnight. We maintain clean, organized sites and perform thorough cleanup daily. Proper signage alerts people to work areas and any temporary hazards. Safety is not just about protecting our workers but also protecting your employees, customers, and property.

Quality Control and Completion

We inspect our work throughout the project to ensure it meets specifications and our quality standards. Before project completion, we perform a final walkthrough with you to address any concerns. We provide warranties on our labor and can help coordinate manufacturer warranties on materials. All work is documented for your records, including photos, material specifications, and any relevant testing or inspection results. Our goal is not just completing the project but ensuring you are completely satisfied with the results.
