Vermont Home Foundation Repair

Sometimes, you just want to put in a winding garden path or quickly address the tiny cracks in your home’s foundation before they cause major damage. Regardless, our home foundation repair and masonry contractors can help.

What Causes Foundation Damage?

Foundation damage can occur quickly from any event that shifts the earth. That means it could happen due to an earthquake or a flood that washes away the backfill. Tiny cracks can signal the beginnings of major damage. The small cracks can grow larger to include such massive damage as to require home lifting, foundation reinforcement and backfill. Don’t allow these problems to become major catastrophes. Get a foundation repair assessment today by our Vermont contractors.

Whatever your need, simply call us for help with the masonry work. We do it all:

cinder block stem walls with poured footings,
brick work,

parging for masonry walls.

What is Masonry Work?

The phrase masonry work refers to a broad set of structure types erected by binding materials together with mortar, an adhesive paste comprised of cement, sand and water. Common materials used include adobe, brick, granite, cast stone, concrete block, glass block, limestone, marble and stone.

What is Vaneer Masonry?

Vermont Remodeling can help with veneer masonry, solid masonry, brickwork and serpentine masonry. Veneer in this sense refers to a construction of masonry or bricks around a structure. You have seen veneering if any of the homes in your neighborhood have had their existing structure encased in bricks to make it look like a brick home. It’s purely aesthetic and not waterproof. The structure under the veneer must be waterproof.

What is Solid Masonry?

Solid masonry refers to standalone walls or structures. Brick and stone construction provides an economical option, but earthquakes can damage or destroy them, leading to needing foundation repair.

Brickwork refers to two or more layers of bricks forming a horizontal pattern. It provides an aesthetic and long-lasting choice for walls or buildings.

What is Serpentine Masonry?

Serpentine masonry refers to masonry projects that do not form a straight line, but use a winding path method. This makes it more sturdy.

What Are the Benefits to Masonry Options?

Another benefit of these brick and masonry options is that they are environmentally sound. The materials for the construction contain only natural materials. When damaged, the masonry can be ground down in dust and reused or returned to the earth.
