Facade

A building’s façade is defined by its various design features and architectural elements, which can range from simple to highly ornate. Architects meticulously plan the façade, considering details such as the choice of materials like stone, brick, concrete, or stucco.

IMR approaches every project by first assessing the building’s architectural style, which is crucial for selecting the appropriate restoration techniques and materials. Our deep expertise in evaluating building exteriors has led to a specialization to restore any type of facade.

Building cleaning

IMR Cleaning specializes in the meticulous cleaning of diverse masonry surfaces—brick, stone, concrete, and stucco. Our dedicated staff use tailored techniques and specialized solutions to effectively remove dirt, stains, and contaminants, preserving the building’s integrity and aesthetic appeal. We ensure a thorough, lasting clean, focusing on attention to detail, environmentally responsible practices, and consistently exceeding client expectations.

Thru-wall flashing

Our team is committed to installing an effective thru-wall flashing system. We will incorporate water testing throughout the process to ensure that any leaks are addressed before the wall is restored. This system will provide a reliable path for moisture to exit the wall. We have successfully installed miles of through-wall flashing systems, effectively resolving our clients’ leaks.

Tuckpointing

Weather-tight mortar joints are essential for protecting client investments and the structural integrity of masonry. They prevent water infiltration which causes damage, mold, and decreased property value. Proper maintenance ensures longevity, stability, and enduring value through skilled craftsmanship, appropriate materials, and regular inspections.

Brick replacement/
rebuilding

Damaged or loose bricks compromise not only the appearance of a building but also its structural integrity and resistance to water intrusion. Left unaddressed, deterioration can spread, increasing repair costs and reducing service life.

IMR specializes in restoring brick façades to ensure long-term durability, safety, and visual consistency.

Stone replacement/
rebuilding

We offer cost-effective and innovative techniques for stone masonry restoration and repair. Our methods include stone Dutchman repairs and the installation of stainless steel pins to epoxy glue damaged and cracked stone. Should stone replacement be required, our nationwide network of stone suppliers and quarries can match all types, sizes, colors, and textures of existing stone.

Terra Cotta replacement/rebuilding

With our extensive experience in terra cotta restoration, we specialize in replacing ornate pieces of varying sizes, shapes, colors, and textures with meticulous attention to detail.

Stone/terra cotta patching

Our team specializes in the cost-effective repair and restoration of stone masonry. We achieve this by employing innovative techniques and state-of-the-art patching materials. These materials are laboratory-formulated to precisely match the color and texture of your existing stone.



Control joints

Masonry expansion and control joints are crucial for preventing structural damage such as cracks and buckling. They accommodate material movement due to temperature changes, moisture, and settlement. At IMR, we possess the understanding and expertise required for the effective installation of these crucial joints.



Structural repairs

IMR specializes in structural steel repairs, addressing damage such as corrosion and fractures. Our expertise includes removing rust, reinforcing compromised members with new steel plates or bolted patches, and applying protective, rust-inhibitive coatings.

Facade Anchors

Facade anchors are a cost-effective solution for stabilizing masonry facades with failing ties, connecting layers or anchoring the facade to a structural wall. This durable, versatile, and often nearly invisible repair technique stabilizes damaged or reinforces existing masonry, avoiding costly rebuilds. Anchors are available in spiral and dry-installed types, typically for brick, and epoxy types for stone. IMR has a proven track record using this repair method across various facade types.
