United Structural Systems, Ltd., Inc. will repair visible cracks in the mortar joints of masonry, stone, or block walls as it is needed. However, the mortar used to repair the joints is new and the color will probably be somewhat different from the existing mortar. This condition should improve over time as the new mortar is "weathered". Also, if the cracks do not close when we attempt to restore the structure to its original position, some of the repaired joints may be larger than the surrounding original joints.

We offer several warranty options depending on project. Be careful what others promise! We have seen advertised warranties listed as "Lifetime" and when you read the fine print that may mean: 7 years, labor not included, transfer clauses, product only... Bottom line, research the company you are going to partner with. Additionally, don't fall for the 50 years in business franchise advertising. Chances are the it is individual franchises first year in business.
