An Experienced Masonry Consultant
With four decades of masonry work under our belts, we don’t believe in selling a service or offering expensive consulting services for the sake of a sale. When we take on projects, we always provide a consultative process that gives clients a hands-on experience.
We want you to understand the root cause of your masonry failure and why we recommend a specific type of quality work for your structure. By consulting with you on your building’s needs, our experts create a greater opportunity for you to make informed decisions and control the outcome for your building.
A Consultative Approach to Masonry
Starting with Stewardship
In Europe, where many modern masonry construction techniques originate, building owners consider themselves temporary stewards of the structures they inhabit or control. In the United States, the mindset differs greatly. Here, we focus more on owning our buildings and see the structure as solely our own, whether or not we intend to retain ownership for its entire lifespan.
That’s where Bramwell-McKay Masonry Restoration stands out. We believe that building stewardship should be the top priority, even for local contractors, like ourselves, who may only engage with the building for a short time. We treat your building like it’s our own, so it will stand strong for you while also remaining safe for any future owners.
Preserving the Future
Many homes in Europe are over 800 years old and are still in the same family, having been passed down from generation to generation. More important than the ownership of the structures passing from generation to generation has been the knowledge of how to care for and preserve them.
Most of us here in the U.S. care a great deal for the homes that we live in and the buildings in which we conduct business, worship, and receive our education.
However, we live in a very fast-paced society. Ten years can go by in what seems like the blink of an eye without us even realizing that the home we live in may be suffering the effects of water intrusion, for instance, which is the leading cause of building and masonry deterioration and damage.
For 40 years, the professionals at Bramwell-McKay have been thinking a great deal about the relationship between buildings and time and the elements. We have examined thousands of structures during that time and have accurately assessed the condition of each.
This experience is at the forefront of every masonry service we offer — residential, commercial, and restorative. When you engage with Bramwell-McKay, you’ll speak directly with an expert who will assess, explain, and guide your next steps so you, too, can take an active role in stewarding your building toward a safer, stronger future.
Structural Integrity Starts with Personal Integrity
If you're responsible for a residential or commercial building, you already know it takes more than patchwork to maintain a structure. It takes an honest commitment to doing what’s right, even when it’s not easy or cheap.
As a leading masonry engineering contractor, it’s true for Bramwell-McKay, too. We believe the way we show up—our honesty, our accountability, our stewardship—sets the foundation for everything else. Buildings don’t just need fixing. They need someone who cares enough to fix them right the first time.
