The story behind Brick Restoration, Texas' leading brick repair and masonry company.
Brick Restoration was founded in 1993 by our owner and CEO Roberto Zumeta. After trying his hand in many different fields, Roberto found his home in Masonry repair. He noticed there was a deep need for craftsmanship that not only repaired the problem, but restored the property to its original beauty.
In our bayou city of Houston, the soil is very soft causing shifts in the foundation. As a result, cracks in the exterior brick and mortar appear that are unsightly. Previously, these cracks were repaired with grey mortar which would take care of the crack but leave a big scar in its place.
The solution? Brick Restoration, Inc
With our detailed mortar matching and staining technology, Brick Restoration set a new standard for masonry repair in Houston. Beginning in 1993 as a one man operation, Brick Restoration has grown to be the most trusted and respected masonry company in the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area.
With a workforce of over 40 highly trained and specialized employees, the growth continues but the mission stays the same. Provide our customers with the best possible service. Take a look at how Brick Restoration came to be what it is today.
