Chapin SC Masonry Contractor for Brick Repair Services

Absolutely. Weathercap is specifically designed for historic preservation and is specified in the GSA's Historic Preservation Technical Procedures. It's ideal for protecting the masonry on historic homes and commercial buildings, ensuring repairs are both durable and sensitive to the structure's integrity.

Our system includes Type A (flat) and Type B (cove) caps to protect virtually any masonry joint. This includes coping and parapet joints, window and door lintels, cornices, water tables, and entrance steps, offering comprehensive protection for the entire building envelope.

Weathercap is installed as an adjunct to caulk or sealant. The lead cap is set into the sealant-filled joint, where it covers and protects the sealant. We provide detailed installation guidance, CAD drawings, and technical support to ensure proper application for contractors.

Yes, Weathercap can be painted to match any color specification. If left unpainted, its lead surface naturally oxidizes to a neutral grey that blends seamlessly with most masonry and mortar, making it visually unobtrusive for restoration projects.

You can order directly from us by phone or by requesting a quote online. We provide sizing guidance and ordering support. Materials are typically shipped from our facility within 48 hours and are supplied in standard 6-foot lengths for easy handling on site.

While sealant is essential, it can fail over time due to UV exposure and building movement. Weathercap acts as a protective shield, reducing the joint opening size and shielding the sealant from the elements. This extends the sealant's life significantly, preventing leaks and costly rework.
