Why repair masonry damage promptly?
Don’t wait until a small masonry problem turns into a big masonry problem. Masonry damage should be repaired promptly because it can lead to other problems:

Work done by a masonry specialist can last for decades and often increase a home’s value by restoring the integrity of exterior surfaces and enhancing the curb appeal.
