Custom Restoration

Your property is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your lifetime, which means saving money is important in the long run. Annual inspections can reveal problems in your home's structure - failed mortar joints, cracks in the walls, or even water damage. Ignoring these problems can lead to costly repairs, which will only get more expensive the longer you put it off.

Unfortunately, masonry chimneys are a prime target for weather-related wear and tear. Since they're often exposed on all four sides to the elements, they tend to deteriorate faster than other types of masonry. Catching problems in or on your chimney early can be the difference between a simple tuckpointing job and spending thousands of dollars constructing a new chimney. Custom Restoration is here to give you the best option for you - whether you need a small masonry fix or a large restoration, our team of experts will figure out what's right for you and at the most affordable price.

Improperly lined chimneys do not work as efficiently as they should. Warm air can linger inside the chimney, which reacts to the cooling of the masonry and can create moisture which damages the lining. Chimneys can then deteriorate over time from the inside out. Once that happens, expensive chimney repairs are often needed. Custom Restoration is here to help you out with all your chimney relining needs! Whether you need a simple tuckpointing job done, or you want your chimney rebuilt entirely, our team of experts can help with anything you need.

Custom Restoration Inc. always strives to provide the highest quality of service, at the highest level of craftsmanship, no matter what. We are a full service masonry restoration company, and our goal is to provide a positive experience from setup to completion on every job, for every customer in the southeast Wisconsin area.

Caulk is a necessity when sealing masonry stones and bricks. For a long-lasting seal, we use permanently waterproof, flexible, shrink-/crack-proof 100 percent silicone caulk. We avoid using acrylic caulk, which can shrink and crack over time. Custom Restoration Inc. will provide you with a clean, fresh seal. This is going to help protect against any mold and fungus growth in the future. Mold can be dangerous to your health, so it is important to ensure that all areas in your home are preventing any mold from growing.

Cracks and mortar deterioration in a building's structure are common problems for a lot of older Wisconsin buildings, and can end up making your home or storefront business looking dilapidated and old. Older masonry can also cause significant structural issues in your building, creating serious problems down the road. The weakest areas on masonry walls are openings such as windows and doors. Naturally, this is where the masonry mortar fails and causes cracking to occur. Even the tiniest crack in a building's mortar can allow water to penetrate throughout an entire chimney or window lintel.

Stone is naturally porous and its appearance will deteriorate over time if it's not properly taken care of. Professional cleaning is one way to bring your stonework looking good as new. We use a number of methods, depending on the stone, the extent of the deterioration and whether the stonework is positioned internally or externally. The ThermaTech™ superheated water cleaning system offers a safe and effective solution for removing paint, wax, chewing gum, bitumen, algae, oil and organic matter from a wide range of stone surfaces, but we'd be happy to discuss other solutions to suit your needs.

Decorative masonry has become a popular design choice for many homes and storefront buildings throughout southeast Wisconsin, and the professionals at Custom Restoration Inc. expertly handle decorative masonry projects of any shape or size.

Custom Restoration Inc. will install or repair a variety of different decorative stone & brick for your home or business and work with you to achieve the design aesthetic you're after.
