At Abstract Masonry, we provide expertise in masonry restoration for all kinds of structures, not just homes. Over the years, we’ve worked on everything from libraries to monuments to government buildings and a whole lot more. Our master craftsmen have years of experience in preserving historic masonry, which requires a greater degree of skill and care.
What Do We Do for These Structures?
Our team is highly trained in every aspect of masonry restoration. Through the years we’ve seen about everything in this business. Here are the key services that we provide for special projects:
Consulting
Every job begins with a thorough consultation that addresses the current state of the structure, including existing damages and potential spots for future damage. We provide consultation services both for jobs that we provide labor for and ones that we don’t.
Masonry Cleaning
Cleaning old masonry has a profound impact on the overall aesthetic of the structure, but it must be done in a way that protects the integrity of the masonry material.
Crack Repair
Historic structures will naturally develop cracks in the masonry, due to time, moisture, and gravity. Repairing these cracks in a way that preserves structural integrity and the aesthetic of the material is one of our fortes.
Water Repellents
We specialize in an array of sealants that protect old masonry from moisture and damage caused by freeze/thaw cycles. These repellents are breathable and maintain the aesthetic of the masonry.
Paint Stripping
Common paint stripping chemicals can cause erosion and damage historic masonry. Our team removes paint using safe and strategic methods.
Fire Restoration
Chemical cleaning processes and post-cleaning detailing can restore masonry materials that have been harmed by fire and smoke damage.
Client Testimonials
Sarah SifersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so impressed with the work they did. Seth and Preston were highly skilled, conscientious and kept the workspace clean. They 'stitched' the cracks in the bricks both outside and inside...stabilizing the home. I highly recommend Abstract Masonry! Lisa KrussowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did a great job and really know masonry work. I trusted them with my old brick house, and it looks great. They were also very good at communicating. Since they worked on our chimney and pillars 3 years ago, we asked Casey and his crew to strip the paint from our house and we are so happy we did. They did such a good job revealing the original brick and cleaning up the mess. Our neighbors were very impressed there was nothing in their yards. I can't recommend these guys enough! Terry SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a 125 year old brick Victorian home that needed brick and concrete repairs. I was concerned any new repairs stitched in with 125 year old bricks would look horrible. Carsen, Layne and Jim were true craftsman, colors matched well and the work turned out much better than I expected. As a construction professional myself (not masonry) I recognized their price was fair and reasonable. Highly recommended! Rachel Le MelleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had extensive brick restoration completed on our historic church, St. Lawrence in Heber City, and the craftsmanship was nothing short of exceptional. Working on an older structure requires not only technical skill but a deep respect for the building’s character and history, and this team delivered both with excellence. There was so much respect for the sacred nature of the space and the crew has had many experiences of working on some of the older churches here in Utah. Even before we started the work and were only seeking quotes as we needed maintenance done but had no plans on how we would obtain the funds, Casey (one of the owners), offered all his advice from his experience he could and offered to be a resource in case we ever needed anything. He even offered to try to refer us to other businesses that could also help us if not him. Aside from quotes and experience, this was the main reason we chose Abstract. He was very generous and the care he took of us as a customer, even in the inspection of our building before any promise of work. He worked with us within our budget, and even did a little extra when we ended up having more money than originally planned. The work was expedient and helped us get the best and most work for what we could. Abstract also worked within our tight schedule for our annual parish event we had at the end of the week. Later, we also came to find out that 20 years or so prior, we had actually used them the first time around for this maintenance. As far as the work, the masons were meticulous --- carefully matching the existing brick, repairing damaged areas with precision, washing them, identifying future problem areas, and ensuring the finished result blended seamlessly with the original architecture. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the project, from mortar matching to the careful protection of surrounding materials. Communication throughout the process was accommodating and professional. The crew arrived on schedule, maintained a clean worksite, and demonstrated genuine care for our little Church. What initially seemed like a complicated and delicate project to us as the owner and caretaker of our Church building, was handled with confidence and integrity by the experts. Our church now looks renewed while still retaining its historic beauty. I unfortunately do not have pictures to add here as I switched jobs soon after the completion of their work, but please pay us a visit anytime or look up our little Church online. We are deeply grateful for the skill and dedication shown in this restoration and would highly recommend this team to anyone seeking quality masonry work—especially for buildings that require expertise, sensitivity, and respect for their heritage as well as sacredness. Grateful to have businesses like this around today, especially here in Utah. jamie o'sheaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abstract Masonry is without a doubt the best Masronry company in the Salt Lake area. They are courteous, resourceful, efficient and professional. Their work is better than perfect! I live in an area with older brick houses and they are the only company we all use when the need arises. Thank you for reading this and I hope you l8ve happily in your brick and stone home for a long time!! Sharon BushmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would love to give 10 stars. The workers that came out to fix our garage after a drunk driver plowed into it were amazing. The work ethic was something I have not seen before. They left the site remarkably clean each day after they were done. Will and Greg were outstanding and great to work with. They never quit just kept working. They were well ahead of schedule on the project. They made a wall to keep our garage secure and free of dust. We are 100% satisfied with the results and would refer them to anyone that would need their service. Thank you, The Bushman’s John TrentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was thoroughly impressed with the crew that came to the house. They were very communicative, nice and extremely thorough in the work they did. I was a little shocked by the initial estimate, but I've only heard good things about the company. I decided to go with them and they exceeded my expectations.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
