Masonry Repair in Corvallis, OR: Top Contractors & Services

Absolutely. WEATHERCAP® is ideal for historic restoration and is specified in the U.S. General Services Administration's Historic Preservation Technical Procedures. Its ability to gently accommodate movement without stressing aged materials makes it perfect for preserving the historic stone and masonry buildings found throughout Corvallis and the wider Willamette Valley.

The soft lead construction has a low elastic modulus, allowing it to remain flexible and 'creep' into new joint configurations as a building settles or moves. This prevents the sealant from tearing or losing adhesion (margin checking), maintaining a waterproof barrier and protecting the structure from moisture penetration that causes long-term damage.

There are two primary configurations. Type A is a flat cap designed for joints where masonry units are in the same plane, such as copings or lintel tops. Type B is a 90-degree cove cap used for right-angle joints, like where a projecting lintel or water table meets a vertical wall. Both are available in various stock and custom sizes.

Yes, WEATHERCAP® can be painted to match any desired color for aesthetic purposes. If left unpainted, its surface naturally oxidizes to a neutral grey color that blends in seamlessly with most masonry and mortar, making it visually unobtrusive for both new construction and historic preservation projects.

Selection depends on the joint's size and geometry. Measure the width of the masonry joint to choose a cap with appropriate coverage. Use Type A for flat joints and Type B for 90-degree joints.
