🧭 Before starting the project

We began with a structural assessment to determine the extent of foundation movement. The client also requested cosmetic improvements to restore the home’s original look.

🔍 Key findings

Our inspection revealed several critical issues:

Foundation had shifted 1.5 inches on the southwest corner
Brick veneer showed stair-step cracking and mortar separation
Exterior trim was faded and inconsistent across elevations

⚠️ Common Challenges

Even well-planned projects come with their share of complications. Here’s what we had to navigate to keep things on track:

Working around mature landscaping and tight lot lines
Matching brick and mortar color for seamless repair
Coordinating structural and cosmetic phases without overlap

🛠️ Implemented Solution

We applied a phased strategy to ensure stability and visual consistency:

Installed helical piers to stabilize foundation movement
Repointed and patched brick with color-matched mortar
Repainted trim and pressure-washed entire exterior

🏁 Final Result

The home is now structurally sound and visually refreshed.
Cracks are no longer visible, and the updated trim gives the façade a clean, cohesive look. The client now has peace of mind and a home that looks as solid as it feels.
