 Tuckpointing GalleryTuckpointing to Masonry is as paint to wood. Mortar is the glue that binds brick together and the protectant, shielding masonry from the damage caused by weather. |  Caulk GalleryCaulk plays an important role in construction. Caulking is a valuable and energy-saving service. Caulk forms a flexible seal for cracks, gaps, or joints in order to make them air and water tight. In addition to sealing air leaks, caulking can also prevent water damage inside and outside of buildings and other structures. |  Restoration Cleaning GalleryToday restoration cleaning is a cost effective way of breathing new life into a building that is starting to look a little less for the wear. Modern detergents have largely done away with the need for Hydrofluoric acid, at one time the use of Hydrofluoric acid was the only effective cleaning chemical to remove black carbon pollution. JND Enterprise is expert in restoration cleaning. |

 Brick Repair GalleryBrick replacement involves carefully cutting out and replacing deteriorated, spalled or decaying bricks with matching or very closely matching bricks. JND Enterprises is adept in restoring to original condition masonry walls, columns, chimneys, fireplaces, fences, arches, stone, and other masonry architectural elements that are spalled, deteriorating or decaying. When the restoration is finished, the new masonry is imperceptible, often invisible. |  Chimney Repair GalleryChimneys are one of the weakest masonry components of a building. They usually jut upward above the roof, and are exposed to the elements from all sides. Thus chimneys are most likely to need maintenance before other areas of the structure. Call, text or e-mail JND Enterprise for an estimate or consultation for your chimney today. |  Lintel Repair GalleryLintels are an integral part of a building, they are the support for openings in a wall. Good steel lintel maintenance begins and ends with paint and, for masonry walls tuckpointing. Lintels that are properly maintained can last hundreds of years. In a masonry wall part of the maintenance of lintels is to make sure the brick or stone is water tight. Water infiltration will migrate to the nearest outlet, which is usually lintels. |
 Masonry Staining GalleryBrick staining is a cost effective and low impact way to make masonry match existing brick, stone or concrete. In some instances it's almost impossible to match brick needed for a repair, in cases like these it is better to use brick that matches in size then stain the repair. |  Nebulous Cleaning GalleryMisting or fine sprays of water is a surprisingly effective method for cleaning limestone, marble and other soft masonry. Nebulous cleaning is particularly useful in removing black encrustation. Black encrustation mostly occurs on buildings and other structures where there is little to no rain rundown, like under cornices, water tables, and beneath window sills. JND Enterprise is expert in conservatory cleaning. |  Graffiti/Paint Removal GalleryIf your property is "tagged," (such an innocuous term for something that is so destructive), it must be removed promptly so other graffitist don't think of it as just another canvas. Paint removed from masonry really should never be sandblasted off. Sandblasting is very effective at removing paint, but the downside, and it's a big one, is that in addition to stripping paint way it also removes that thin hard as nails top layer of brick or stone, thus weakening the matrix. |
 New Masonry CleaningJND Enterprises is expert in new masonry washing, our service is unsurpassed. |  Sealants/Coatings GalleryWater repellents protect masonry buildings from water infiltration and extends the life of brick and stone work, but can alter the appearance, if not properly applied. Freshly tuckpointed or restored masonry should have water repellent applied after curing. |  Stone/Concrete Repair GalleryStone can be repaired by cutting out and replacing the damaged piece, a Dutchman repair, or patching with a cement that is specifically made to repair stone. Most repairs involve spalling or "popping," the metal clip that holds the stone in place during construction has most likely rusted and expanded, thus causing a chunk of stone to pop out. |
 Deck Cleaning GalleryWe expect a lot from a deck or patio. It needs maintenance to be resilient, and to withstand the assaults of inclement weather, furniture being pushed around, and lots of foot traffic, and still look terrific. A new deck isn’t something that can be replaced every year or two. JND Enterprises is expect in deck maintenance. |  Efflorescence/Superfluous StainsNobody likes it, nobody wants it on their brick, but Efflorescence and other stains common to masonry often occur, particularly right after construction, this is sometimes called "New Building Bloom." Improper cleaning procedure is also another contributor to superfluous staining on masonry. If you have problem with unsightly stains on your masonry JND Enterprises can help, give us a call or e-mail. |
