Brick Facade Restoration Contractor in New Jersey
Professional brick facade restoration and repair for commercial, residential, and historic buildings across New Jersey.
Trusted Brick Facade Restoration Contractor Serving New Jersey
Brick holds up well against New Jersey’s weather, but the mortar between the bricks usually gives out first. Once water finds a way through an open joint or a cracked brick face, the damage spreads faster than most owners expect. Adriatic Restoration Corp. has restored brick facades across New Jersey since 1982, on properties ranging from rowhomes to landmark buildings.

From Inspection to Finished Brick Repair
Step 1: Identify What's Really Failing
Crumbling mortar and cracked brick usually point to something bigger going on, whether it's trapped moisture, a failed lintel, or movement somewhere in the wall. We inspect the brick, the joints, and the flashing closely, drawing on four decades of experience with New Jersey buildings. You get a written scope with exact pricing, so you know what needs repointing and what needs full brick replacement.
Step 2: Match Material, Not Just Color
Brick color, texture, and mortar profile vary from one building to the next, and a poor match is the kind of thing that stands out for years. We source brick and blend mortar to fit your building's existing material, whether that's a modern facade or a century old landmark. Structural issues behind the brick go to our Masonry Repair team as part of the same job, not a separate one.
Step 3: Repoint, Repair, and Confirm the Fix
Repointing means removing the failed mortar and packing new mortar in at the right depth and profile, so it holds for decades rather than a few seasons. Damaged brick gets cut out and replaced to match, and any lintel or flashing issues are handled at the same time. Once the wall is finished, we walk it with you before calling the job done.
Brick Buildings We Restore Across New Jersey
Commercial Brick Buildings: Storefronts and office buildings where a deteriorating facade reflects on the business operating inside.
Multi-Family & Apartment Buildings: Condos and apartment complexes that need periodic repointing to stay watertight and code compliant.
Historic & Landmark Brick Buildings: Restoration that matches original brick color, texture, and mortar joint profile to preserve the building’s character.
Institutional Brick Buildings: Schools, municipal buildings, and public facilities where durability and minimal disruption both matter.
Residential Brick Homes & Rowhouses: Single-family homes, rowhouses, and townhouses where cracked mortar and worn brick affect both appearance and weatherproofing.
Repointing vs. Brick Replacement: How We Decide
When Repointing Is Enough Most brick facade problems trace back to failed mortar, not failed brick. If the brick units are still sound, repointing (removing the old mortar and packing new mortar to the correct depth) restores the wall’s strength and stops water intrusion for a fraction of what replacement would cost.
When Brick Needs Full Replacement If individual bricks are cracked, spalling, or crumbling from repeated freeze thaw cycles, repointing alone won’t hold for long. Those units need to come out and get replaced with matching brick, or the surrounding mortar just fails again within a season or two. We inspect the whole wall before quoting anything, so you’re only paying for replacement where it’s actually needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my brick facade needs repointing or replacement?
If the mortar is crumbling but the brick itself is intact, repointing usually solves it. Cracked or spalling brick calls for replacement.
How long does brick repointing last?
When completed with the proper materials and techniques, brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years or even longer. The lifespan depends on weather exposure, building conditions, and regular maintenance.
Will the new mortar match my existing brick?
Yes, we carefully match the mortar color, texture, and joint profile to blend with the existing brickwork as closely as possible. Our goal is to maintain a consistent appearance across the repaired area.
Can you restore brick on a historic building?
