## What Makes Us Different
The Brick Bros specialize in what makes DC masonry different: historic brick. Many of the city's rowhouses were built with soft lime mortar that modern portland-cement mixes can damage by trapping moisture. We repoint, repair and rebuild using mortar and techniques suited to century-old masonry, matching brick and joint profiles and respecting historic-district guidelines, so we protect the character of your home while making the work structurally sound.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What areas do you serve in and around DC?
We provide masonry, brick and concrete work throughout Washington, DC and the nearby Maryland suburbs. That includes neighborhoods such as Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, Shaw, Cleveland Park, Chevy Chase, Petworth, LeDroit Park and Brookland.

### Why does historic brick need special care?
Many older DC homes were built with soft, lime-based mortar that is more porous than modern cement mixes. Repairing them with hard portland cement can trap moisture and cause spalling and cracking, so we use materials and techniques matched to the original masonry.

### What is the difference between repointing and tuckpointing?
Both restore mortar joints. Repointing removes deteriorated mortar and refills the joints to seal out water and strengthen the wall. Tuckpointing is a related technique focused on removing damaged mortar and applying clean, precise joints that protect and refresh brickwork.

### Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Tell us about your project through our online form or by calling (202) 849-7762, and we will get back to you quickly with a free, no-obligation quote covering the work your masonry needs.

### Can you match repairs in a historic district?
Yes. We regularly work within DC historic districts, matching brick, mortar color and joint profiles to the original and following preservation guidelines, so repairs hold up structurally while keeping the look that makes your home distinctive.

### Do you repair chimneys and foundations?
Yes. Along with brickwork and repointing, we handle chimney repair, including crown and flashing work, and masonry foundation repair for cracked, settling or water-damaged foundations, restoring stability and protecting the structure above.

### What causes mortar joints to crumble?
Older mortar is often softer than the surrounding brick, so it wears faster, especially on surfaces that catch runoff like porches and steps. Years of rain, freeze-thaw cycles and settling erode the joints, leaving gaps and hairline cracks that let water in.

### Do you work on both homes and larger buildings?
Yes. We work on everything from detached homes and rowhouses to condo conversions, garden walls and historic buildings across the DC area, handling both small repairs and large-scale restoration projects with the same attention to detail.
