What types of masonry projects do you specialize in?Sander Contracting specializes in all aspects involving masonry, including brick, block, cast stone and cultured stone on residential and commercial projects.
-
Can you repair a damaged/leaking/crumbling chimney?Yes, Sander Contracting can do full repairs whether it’s due to leaks or just age and weathering. This can include caps, flu liners, tear down and rebuild, or tuckpointing.
-
What is tuckpointing and how do I know if I need it done to my home?Tuckpointing is when mortar joints have started to deteriorate or crack, which allows water to get in. This will also make the problem worse over time. To address this, Sander Contracting grinds out the mortar joints that need attention and will fill back in with new mortar to seal the area.
-
Do you provide thin stone veneer services?Yes, Sander Contracting works with multiple suppliers for a wide range of selections for both residential and commercial thin stone veneers.
-
Do you provide renovation services?Yes, Sander Contracting can provide services including cutting in new openings in masonry, infilling openings and cutting out and replacing deteriorated lintels. Sander Contracting also provides any necessary shoring required to do the project.
-
Can you match the brick or other masonry material used on my home or commercial building?Yes, Sander Contracting has many suppliers and manufacturers that we work with to help get the best match possible. Depending on the age of the existing brick, even an exact match will have a slight difference, due to the weathering and aging of the existing brick.
-
How often should brick or stone be repointed?Generally, you want to visually inspect your masonry every five years. Repointing usually isn’t needed until 20+ years, but if there is foundation settlement or the masonry was not installed properly it can happen much sooner.
