What Our Clients Say

Phoenix was instrumental in the 2300 Market terra cotta restoration. Their meticulous care for each original piece — tagging, storing, cleaning, and reinstalling — was exceptional. The results speak for themselves.

Gilbane and Phoenix worked seamlessly on Amy Gutmann Hall. The masonry scope was complex — mass timber integration, curtain wall interface — and Phoenix delivered to a high standard on a demanding schedule.

Two sides of the same problem.

Masonry failure and water intrusion almost always go together. We diagnose and treat both.

01
Repointing & Tuckpointing
Removing failed mortar and repointing brick, stone, and fieldstone foundations — the most common and highest-value repair in older Philly-area homes.
  • Brick & stone joints
  • Fieldstone foundations
  • Lime-based historic mortar
02
Chimney Repair & Rebuild
Crown repair, flashing, cap installation, and spalling brick replacement — chimneys are often the first visible sign of trouble homeowners notice.
  • Crown & cap repair
  • Flashing replacement
  • Spalling brick repair
03
Foundation Stone & Brick Repair
Common in Pennsylvania's older stone farmhouses and Philadelphia rowhomes — we stabilize and repair failing foundation masonry.
  • Stone farmhouse foundations
  • Rowhome foundations
  • Structural stabilization
04
Lintel Replacement
Rusted steel lintels expand and crack the brick above windows and doors — we catch it early and replace before it becomes a bigger repair.
  • Steel lintel replacement
  • Cracked brick repair
  • Preventive inspection
05
Stucco Repair & EIFS Remediation
Repair and replacement for failing stucco, including EIFS inspection and remediation — a major liability concern for 90s-2000s homes in this region.
  • Stucco crack repair
  • EIFS inspection
  • Moisture remediation
06
Retaining Wall Construction & Repair
Stone, block, and segmental retaining walls — built new or repaired to correct drainage failure and settling.
  • Stone & block walls
  • Segmental systems
  • Drainage correction
07
Patios, Walkways & Steps
Bluestone, brick paver, and natural stone patios, walkways, and steps built to last through freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Bluestone patios
  • Brick paver walkways
  • Natural stone steps
08
Historic Restoration
Matching mortar — including lime-based mixes for older masonry — and Flemish bond brick matching for Media and Chestnut Hill-caliber historic homes.
  • Lime-based mortar matching
  • Flemish bond brick matching
  • Preservation-grade craftsmanship

The Masonry & Waterproofing Diagnostic Visit.

Think of it like an HVAC tune-up. Instead of sending someone out to bid a job you already think you need, we send a specialist to actually diagnose what's happening — and why. You get a clear, written assessment of your masonry and drainage, with honest priorities on what needs attention now versus what can wait.

It positions us as the expert evaluating your home, not just another contractor bidding a job.

What's Included
  • 01Full exterior masonry & chimney inspection
  • 02Foundation & drainage assessment
  • 03Written report with prioritized recommendations
  • 04No-pressure, itemized estimate

What to schedule, and when.

Fall — Chimney & Masonry Season

Before winter freeze-thaw cycles start doing damage, fall is the time for chimney and masonry inspections. Catching a cracked crown or open mortar joint now means avoiding water intrusion and spalling brick once the temperature drops.

Bundled with our protective coatings line.

Masonry sealing and waterproof coatings overlap technically with Phoenix Exterior Services' graffiti removal and protective coatings work — so if your home needs both, it's one crew, one visit, and one point of contact instead of juggling separate contractors.
