  • Need some help with brick crack repair

    I have had a couple of masonry people come out to see about repairing the brick on my house, but they don't have brick to match.

    The house was built in 1967.

    I'm going to have a structural engineer come to the house and determine the cause of the cracks, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me a way to repair these broken bricks.

    I count 12 cracked bricks.

    I'm a brick contractor in st.louis, first take your pics to your local brick companies to see if or what they may have close to the existing brick you have to replace, you may not find the same brick, but at least find the same size, you can always hire a company that can stain the brick and /or mortar once they are installed.
    the brick with have to be cut out with a diamond bladed demo saw, and just don't count just the 12 cracked brick, it's sometimes tuff just to get them out without cracking a few more on demo.
    good luck
