Restoration and Preservation
Preserving and protecting masonry exteriors is critical to the integrity of a structure. Although, brick and stone construction is incredibly strong, over time weather pollution and age can take its toll on any façade. Indeed, age, moisture, airborne pollutants, movement and deferred maintenance all contribute to the deterioration process.
Deterioration worsens the longer these problems are left uncorrected. A minor problem can escalate into a very serious problem. GL Capasso Restoration recommends early detection and repair. Early detection is critical and will almost certainly save you time and money.
