Our own work, photographed on the job

Every photograph here shows a job this crew did — teardowns, work in progress and finished brick, on homes and commercial buildings. Nothing on this page is stock photography.

Same job, two stages

What the work looks like

Two jobs, each photographed twice: a house with the crew on site and after they left, and a parapet wall before and during its rebuild.

Brick colonial, on site and after

The same house: ladders up and a crew member at the door while the work is on, and the house again with the equipment gone.

Parapet wall rebuild

The same parapet, days apart: mortar joints washed out and brick coming loose, then the crew rebuilding that wall from the scaffold.

Tuckpointing, brick, chimneys and facades
