Scranton is a city built on masonry — brick homes, stone foundations, block commercial buildings, and century-old chimneys. NEPA's freeze-thaw cycles are among the harshest tests for masonry in the country, breaking down mortar joints and spalling brick year by year. Scranton Handyman Corporation, backed by 45+ years of construction experience, provides expert masonry repair for commercial and residential properties throughout the region. We use the correct mortar type and technique for every application — because masonry done wrong accelerates the damage it was meant to repair.
