Porch Restoration

Michigan weather can be brutal on porches — freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and daily wear take their toll. Cracked steps, crumbling mortar, and sagging thresholds don’t just hurt your home’s curb appeal — they can also create safety hazards.

At All About Bricks, we restore porches from the ground up, combining safety, style, and durability. Whether you need a simple tuckpointing repair or a full porch rebuild, our craftsmen deliver results that last.

Our Porch Restoration Services Include:

  • Step & Threshold Replacement – We remove unsafe or damaged steps and precast thresholds, replacing them with structurally sound materials that match your home’s design.

  • Brick & Masonry Rebuilding – Rebuilding damaged areas to restore strength, stability, and visual appeal.

  • Tuckpointing & Mortar Joint Repair – Carefully grinding out deteriorated mortar and replacing it with color-matched, weather-resistant mortar for a seamless look.

  • Waterproofing & Sealing – Professional sealing solutions that protect against future water damage, freeze-thaw cycles, and salt corrosion.

Your porch is more than an entryway — it’s a place to welcome guests, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. We’ll help you create a porch that’s safe, beautiful, and built to last for years to come.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are more than just practical — they’re a way to add dimension, functionality, and beauty to your outdoor spaces. Whether you’re managing soil erosion or designing a tiered garden, we build walls that combine structural integrity with visual appeal.

Benefits of a Retaining Wall:

  • Erosion Control: Prevent soil washout caused by rain and snow.

  • Improved Landscape Design: Create visually appealing multi-level gardens, terraces, or patios.

  • Maximized Space: Level sloped areas to make them usable for seating, pathways, or outdoor living.

  • Durability: Built with high-quality materials to withstand Michigan’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

Types of Retaining Walls We Build:

  • Decorative Garden Walls – For raised beds and landscaping accents.

  • Structural Walls – Built for heavy-duty soil support and slope management.

  • Multi-Purpose Designs – Seating walls that double as retaining walls for patios and yards.

Our team can create retaining walls that are as functional as they are beautiful — built to last for decades with minimal maintenance.

Tuckpointing

Over time, mortar joints deteriorate, leading to crumbling brickwork, water intrusion, and structural instability. This is especially common in Southeast Michigan’s historic brick homes and buildings, where harsh weather and aging materials take a toll.

What Is Tuckpointing?

Tuckpointing is a specialized masonry repair technique where we:

  • Remove deteriorated mortar from joints.

  • Replace it with fresh, color-matched mortar for a seamless finish.

  • Seal and reinforce the masonry to prevent further damage.

Why Tuckpointing Matters:

  • Restores Structural Integrity: Reinforces brickwork and prevents further deterioration.

  • Prevents Water Damage: Stops moisture from entering walls and causing rot or mold.

  • Preserves Historic Character: Maintains the authentic look of older buildings.

  • Boosts Curb Appeal: Gives brickwork a clean, well-maintained appearance.

Our Tuckpointing Process:

  • Detailed Inspection: We assess the condition of your brickwork and identify problem areas.

  • Precision Grinding & Cleaning: Carefully remove damaged mortar without harming surrounding bricks.

  • Custom Color Matching: Blend new mortar with the existing brickwork for a natural look.

  • Long-Lasting Protection: Apply mortar that resists Michigan’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.

When done correctly, tuckpointing extends the life of your masonry by decades while maintaining its beauty and character.
