Commercial Masonry Repair for Brick and Stone Veneer
Brick repair, stone veneer repair, and re-anchoring for multifamily and commercial buildings across Texas
Loose stone and cracked brick are safety issues on an occupied building, not just maintenance items. Shepperd Construction provides commercial masonry repair across Texas, from repointing and brick repair to stone veneer that has pulled away from the wall, with the flashing and anchors behind it fixed too.

Masonry repair restores brick and stone veneer walls: repointing failed mortar, replacing damaged units, re-anchoring veneer to the structure, and repairing the flashing and weeps that let the wall drain. On veneer buildings, most failures start behind the face, not on it.
Veneer Walls Depend on What You Cannot See
Brick and stone veneer are not waterproof. They are designed to let some water through and drain it back out through flashing and weep openings at the base of the wall and above windows. When that flashing is missing or blocked, or the ties holding the veneer to the building corrode, the wall starts to crack, bulge, and eventually shed units.
That is why repointing alone rarely fixes a failing veneer wall. Our commercial masonry repair work checks the anchors, flashing, and drainage behind the face, then repairs the wall as a system. On taller buildings, we can reach upper courses with rope access or swing stage.
Safety First
Loose stone and brick are secured or removed quickly, with walkways protected below.
Anchors & Flashing
We repair the ties, flashing, and weeps that keep veneer attached and drained.
Matched Materials
Replacement brick, stone, and mortar are matched to the existing wall.
Signs Your Masonry Needs Repair
Masonry problems grow slowly, then suddenly. These are the signs to act on:
- Stone falling off the building, or loose pieces on walkways
- Stone veneer that bulges or sounds hollow
- Stair-step cracks in brick near windows and corners
- Mortar that is crumbling, recessed, or missing
- White staining or efflorescence on brick or stone
- Rust stains or bowing at lintels above openings
- Leaks inside units behind brick or stone walls
Falling stone is a life-safety issue. Cordon off the area and call for an assessment. If cracking is tied to settlement, see our commercial foundation repair page.
How We Repair Brick and Stone Veneer
Each repair starts with an assessment of the face and what is behind it. Where veneer has moved, we open selected areas to check ties, flashing, and the sheathing behind the cavity.
From there, brick repair and stone veneer repair can include repointing with compatible mortar, replacing cracked units, installing new anchors to re-secure loose veneer, rebuilding sections with new through-wall flashing and weeps, and repairing lintels above openings. Larger programs that cover whole elevations are covered on our facade restoration page.

How a Masonry Repair Project Runs
Masonry projects move from make-safe to permanent repair in a clear sequence.
Unsafe areas are secured first, then every elevation is surveyed and documented.
Selected openings confirm ties and flashing, and the findings become a priced scope.
Crews repair and rebuild each area in turn, keeping entries and walkways safe.
Finished work is walked with the board and engineer and documented.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treat it as a safety issue. Cordon off the area below, keep residents and vehicles away, and call for an assessment right away. Loose stone usually means the anchors or the bond behind the veneer have failed, so nearby stone may be at risk too.
Usually because water has been getting behind it. Missing flashing, blocked weeps, and failed mortar joints let water reach the bond and the anchors, which weaken over time. Freeze cycles and building movement speed that up.
Sometimes, if the mortar is the only problem. More often, leaks behind brick come from missing or failed flashing and blocked weeps. Repointing without fixing drainage can actually trap more water, so we check behind the face first.
Stair-step cracks follow the mortar joints and usually point to movement, from foundation settlement, thermal expansion without enough control joints, or corroded lintels. The repair depends on the cause, so it is worth an assessment before cracks are filled.
We match size, color, and texture as closely as available materials allow, and we match mortar color and joint profile. On larger repairs we set up sample areas for the board to approve.
Cost depends on the extent of damage, whether anchors and flashing need work, building height and access, and material matching. We survey the walls and provide a cost of repair estimate the board can plan around.
Yes. We phase work around entries and walkways, protect areas below the work, and give residents notice before crews arrive.
