Tuck pointing, brick & stone repair, porches and steps, and waterproofing — masonry restoration that respects Cleveland's older homes.
Brick & Masonry Restoration in Cleveland, OH
Greater Cleveland is a brick-and-stone town. From the century-old colonials of Lakewood and the Tudors of Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights to the mid-century homes of Parma and the historic district of Hudson, masonry defines how these homes look — and how well they hold up. Righteous Chimney & Masonry restores that brick and stone so it stays strong and beautiful for the next generation.
Masonry fails for one main reason in Northeast Ohio: water. Once the mortar joints open up or the brick gets porous, water soaks in, freezes, expands, and tears the wall apart a little more with every cold snap. That's why our work always addresses water — repointing failed joints, rebuilding what's past saving, and waterproofing to keep the freeze-thaw cycle from starting all over again.
On older homes, how the work is done matters as much as that it's done. The wrong mortar — too hard, the wrong color — looks bad and actually damages soft historic brick. We match the original materials, tool the joints to the original profile, and treat every home like it's worth doing right. Because it is.

What Greater Cleveland Homeowners Say

Honest Inspection, No Scare Tactics
Another company tried to sell me a full chimney rebuild. Righteous came out, ran a camera inspection, showed me the actual flue, and said all I needed was a sweep and a new cap. Saved me thousands. This is who I'll call from now on.

Finally Stopped a Years-Long Leak
Two roofers couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. Righteous found it was the chimney crown and flashing, rebuilt the crown, reflashed, and waterproofed it. Dry through the whole winter for the first time in years.

Beautiful Tuck Pointing on Our 1920s Home
Our brick was crumbling at the joints. They repointed the whole chimney and a section of wall with mortar that actually matches the original. You can't tell where the new work starts. Craftsmanship you don't see much anymore.
Diane R. Cleveland Heights, OH -
Quick, Clean, and Straightforward
Swept the chimney, inspected it, and walked me through everything with photos. Showed up on time, laid down drop cloths, left zero mess. Fair price, no upselling. Exactly how it should be done.

Masonry Services FAQs
-
We provide tuck pointing and repointing, brick & stone repair and rebuilds, porch and step repair, and breathable masonry waterproofing — for homes throughout Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.
-
Yes — it's a specialty. Cleveland's older suburbs are full of early-1900s brick homes built with soft lime mortar. We use historically appropriate, color- and hardness-matched mortar so repairs protect the original brick instead of damaging it.
-
Common signs include crumbling or missing mortar between bricks, spalling (brick faces popping off), cracks, white staining (efflorescence), and loose or bulging brick. We inspect and tell you whether simple repointing will do or whether a section needs rebuilding.

Water is brick's worst enemy in a freeze-thaw climate. Once water soaks into porous brick and mortar, the freeze-thaw cycle cracks it apart. A breathable waterproofing sealer stops water absorption without trapping moisture inside the wall.
