We contacted A.O. Handy to do brick tuckpointing and repair of our home and front stoop. They were, quick, responsive and went above and beyond what we originally requested. They discovered ,upon repairing our stoop, there were more issues than we had originally thought. They took the time to repair the stoop correctly, gave us photos of the issue and charged us not a cent more. I would 100% recommend their service.

They did a great job with our block walls that were starting to degrade. What I was most impressed with is the quality and how fast they got the work completed! I also did not expect they would be so thourough with all the caulking that they did. I have a bigger exterior project next summer and they will be the first company I call.

I recently called on Denis from AO Handy for some repair work, and I have to say, his service was fantastic. Living in Wisconsin, where weathering and time naturally cause wear and tear, it was a relief to find someone who understands exactly what's needed. Denis was really knowledgeable about the common issues we face here. He didn't just patch things up; he took the time to explain why the deterioration happened and how to prevent future problems. The repairs were done quickly and efficiently, and you can tell he uses quality materials. What stood out to me was how straightforward and honest Denis was throughout the process. No upselling, no unnecessary extras, just good, solid workmanship. It's refreshing to see that kind of integrity these days. Highly recommend Denis at AO Handy for anyone needing reliable and expert repair work. He's definitely my go-to from now on!

Challenges in Commercial Masonry – We Understand

In the bustling realm of commercial construction and renovation, challenges with masonry work—be it rebuilds or repairs—aren’t just common; they’re expected. Deterioration over time, weather impact, or even previous subpar work can leave your building in less than ideal condition. These aren’t just cosmetic issues; they’re potential safety hazards, affecting the integrity of your structure and, consequently, your business’s reputation.

Why It Matters More Than You Think

It’s not just about the bricks and mortar. It’s about the first impression, the safety of your occupants, and the longevity of your investment. Substandard masonry work can lead to more significant problems down the line: water damage, structural failures, or even costly legal headaches. The stakes are high in commercial projects, where the difference between quality work and a quick fix can have implications for years to come.

Indicators That Your Commercial Building Requires Masonry Expertise

Essential Signs Your Commercial Building Needs Masonry Attention

  • Cracked and Chipped Facades:  Cracks or chips in the brickwork not only undermine the aesthetic appeal of your commercial property but can lead to more severe issues like water infiltration and insulation challenges.
  • Efflorescence Presence:  A white, powdery residue on masonry surfaces is a clear indicator of water penetration, signaling the urgent need for repairs to prevent internal damage.
  • Bowed or Bulging Walls: These structural deformities, typically caused by moisture or failures in the support system, necessitate immediate professional assessment and intervention to maintain building safety and integrity.
  • Leaning Structures:  Any part of the building, such as walls or columns, showing signs of leaning or tilting, suggests critical foundational or structural issues that require swift expert attention.

Signs Your Business Facility Needs Masonry Maintenance

  • Aging and Weathered Exteriors: Visible signs of aging, such as discoloration and structural cracks, often hint at underlying issues needing expert masonry restoration to preserve the building’s structural integrity and appearance.
  • Deteriorating Mortar Joints: If the mortar between bricks starts eroding or crumbling, it’s crucial to undertake masonry restoration to prevent further water infiltration and structural damages.
  • Compromised Structural Integrity:  Manifestations like leaning walls, bulging bricks, or pronounced cracks are serious indicators of compromised masonry that demand urgent repair for safety and stability.

I hired A O Handy for a chimney rebuild. Denis was in contact before, during, and after the project which was great especially when an issue arose regarding the old chimney. As for the project itself, everything was completed very timely, the crew cleaned up each day and were careful with personal items in the yard.
