Insurance Claims
A flood or other disaster that affects your property will often require extensive commercial restoration to be carried out. If you are a business owner whose property is damaged in some way, make sure that you contact your insurer and have all the details of the claim settled before any work takes place. The insurance adjuster will make clear what is to be restored. Three tips from AAA Restorations include:
- Get in touch with your insurance provider as soon as possible
- Making a list of possessions beforehand
- Start the cleanup process as soon as possible
Plans can then be made to complete the restoration and repairs that are needed. A professional stonemason is trained to handle all kinds of insurance claims that include brick, stone, or concrete restoration.
Damaged brickwork
Damaged Brick or Stonework
Repairing and replacing damaged brick and stonework is a key component of many commercial restoration projects. Depending on the size of the property and the extent of the project that is envisaged, extensive plans may need to be drawn up. A professional stonemason can advise you from the early planning stages and work in cooperation with any architects or draughtsmen that are involved.

Coverings Over Openings and Door Installations
Does your commercial restoration project require coverings over openings like windows and door installations? Contact a professional stonemason to ensure that you are given a fair estimate of the work that needs to be done. Stonemasons can offer advice and create new window and door openings in your brickwork, and reshape and resize the openings to suit the doors and windows you wish to install.
Masonry Signs
Many commercial restoration projects include the installation of masonry signs as part of a refreshing and appealing new look. Stone and brick plaque installations require a special skill set, so obtain an estimate from a professional stonemason to ensure that the job is carried out expertly.
Repointing
A common feature of any commercial restoration is the need for repointing bricks and stone. Examine your property at least twice a year to determine whether any repointing is required. Look for damaged, cracked and crumbling mortar. Remember that mortar does not last as long as brickwork, so don’t be fooled by healthy bricks as the mortar is an important part of your building’s structural integrity.
