From street-level chimney repairs to 30-story high-rise façade restoration, MVP Masonry Restoration delivers commercial and residential masonry services across Cleveland, Akron, and the surrounding Northeast Ohio region. Every job is backed by free estimates, licensed technicians, and the right access equipment for the height — boom lift, swing stage, or FAA-licensed drone.
High-Rise Masonry Restoration
High-rise masonry restoration demands more than skill with a trowel — it requires the right rigging, OSHA-compliant fall protection, and crews experienced working hundreds of feet above grade. MVP Masonry Restoration specializes in multi-story commercial façade work across Northeast Ohio, including:
- Façade tuckpointing and repointing on mid-rise and high-rise buildings
- Brick and stone replacement on commercial exteriors
- Lintel repair and shelf angle restoration
- Sealant joint replacement on curtain wall and precast panels
- Waterproof coatings and protective sealers
Whether your property is a downtown office tower, a hospital campus, or a multi-family residential building, our high-rise masonry crews scope, price, and execute the work safely from the first inspection to final demobilization. Learn more about high-rise masonry restoration →
Swing Stage & Suspended Scaffold Masonry Work
Swing stage access is the most efficient way to restore a tall masonry wall section by section without erecting full perimeter scaffolding. MVP Masonry Restoration is fully equipped and trained for suspended scaffold (swing stage) masonry work, including:
- Swing stage tuckpointing on commercial high-rises
- Brick replacement and spot repair at any elevation
- Window perimeter caulking and sealant work from a swing stage
- Façade cleaning and protective coating application
Our swing stage crews carry current OSHA suspended-scaffold certifications, work under a documented rigging plan for each project, and coordinate with building management on roof anchor inspections before each mobilization. Learn more about swing stage tuckpointing →
Drone Inspections & Thermal Imaging
Before you spend a dollar on scaffolding, find out where the problems actually are. MVP Masonry Restoration offers drone-based masonry inspections and drone thermal imaging inspections that locate hidden defects in a fraction of the time of a manual inspection — without putting an inspector on a swing stage.
What our drone inspections cover
- Façade condition surveys for high-rise and mid-rise buildings
- Roof, parapet, and coping inspections
- Chimney and stack inspections in residential and industrial settings
- Scaffold and suspended-platform system integrity checks
- Pre-purchase building envelope assessments
Drone thermal imaging inspections
Thermal (infrared) imaging from a drone reveals defects you can’t see with the naked eye:
- Moisture infiltration behind brick, stucco, and EIFS
- Air leaks at window perimeters, control joints, and roof transitions
- Missing or wet insulation in cavity walls
- Failed flashing above lintels and shelf angles
- Heat loss patterns across an entire façade in a single flight
You get a full report with annotated thermal and visible-light imagery, so repair scope and cost can be defined with certainty before any crew goes up the wall. Learn more about drone thermal imaging inspections →
Tuckpointing — Residential & Commercial
Your home or commercial building is one of your largest investments. MVP Masonry Restoration provides residential tuckpointing and commercial tuckpointing services throughout Northeast Ohio, including both solid and spot tuckpointing.
What is tuckpointing and why is it needed?
Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from masonry joints and packing fresh mortar into the joint. It is a specialized skill that should only be performed by experienced masonry professionals.
Tuckpointing becomes necessary when mortar cracks or hollows out — usually because water enters hairline cracks, freezes during Ohio winters, and widens the void. Timely tuckpointing prevents further damage to surrounding brick and stops water from leaking into the structure.
Chimney Brick & Stone Repair
The features that give a building its personality are also the ones that weather first. Even the most solid brick wall needs care eventually, and chimneys take the hardest beating from rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles.
When water gets trapped below the surface of a brick, it cracks and crumbles over time. A loose or broken brick or stone in a chimney isn’t just an eyesore — it’s an open invitation for additional water damage and a safety hazard. Our masons repair and replace damaged brick, stone, crowns, and caps, restoring the chimney to a safe, watertight condition.

Brick & Concrete Step Repair
Crumbling masonry steps or concrete steps create a serious tripping hazard for your family, customers, or tenants — and they’re an eyesore at the front entrance of any property. MVP Masonry Restoration repairs and rebuilds masonry steps across Northeast Ohio using:
- Concrete step repair and patching
- Brick step tuckpointing and brick replacement
- Total replacement of brick or concrete steps
- Brick step foundation replacement
- Masonry step re-leveling
- Concrete paver overlay

Caulking & Leak Detection
Caulking
Caulk seals the gaps that let air and water into a building — between chimney and siding, eaves and gable molding, window sills and siding, window sashes and siding, windows and masonry, door frames, masonry and concrete, and inside corners formed by siding. Over time caulk becomes brittle and fails, and many areas may never have been properly sealed in the first place.
Leak Detection & Repair
It only takes a small leak to cause extensive water damage to a building, and the longer it goes unaddressed, the worse the damage gets. MVP Masonry Restoration investigates, identifies, and repairs leaks at the masonry envelope — often pinpointing them faster with a drone thermal imaging inspection (see above) before any repair crew is dispatched.
