COMMERCIAL
MASONRY RESTORATION
IN FRISCO, TX.
HALL Park's 17 Class A buildings, The Star's 91-acre Cowboys campus, and PGA Frisco's Texas limestone headquarters are entering their first major masonry maintenance cycles. The June 2023 DFW hail storms produced $7-10 billion in insured losses — 95% from hail. Frisco's fastest-in-the-nation growth now means its earliest commercial buildings need the same level of attention as the city's newest arrivals.
What Commercial Masonry Restoration Includes
Systematic masonry repair and restoration for commercial facilities — calibrated to Class A standards Frisco's corporate campuses require.
Tuckpointing & Mortar Joint Repair
Remove deteriorated mortar and repoint with new mortar matched to original color, composition, and joint profile. Critical for structural integrity and water resistance.
HALL Park's 17 Class A buildings are approaching their first full repointing cycle. We perform systematic joint probing on multi-building campuses, prioritizing by deterioration severity, to create a phased plan that fits capital budget cycles without leaving critical joints unaddressed.
Brick & Stone Replacement
Source and install replacement brick, limestone, or sandstone matching existing dimensions, color, and texture. Dutchman repairs for stone. For Texas limestone applications — like PGA Frisco's $33.5 million headquarters — we work with quarry-specific sourcing to match cut and finish.
Hail impact spalling on brick facades accumulates across Frisco's Collin County hail corridor. We replace impacted units rather than patching face damage, maintaining the uniform appearance that corporate tenants and property managers expect.
Structural Masonry Repair
Lintel replacement, wall stabilization, crack stitching with helical ties, foundation-to-parapet assessment. Frisco's rapid development pace means some buildings completed in the 2000s have underlying foundation settlement that is only now manifesting as diagonal cracks at masonry corners.
We distinguish settlement cracks (structural, requiring stitching and monitoring) from thermal cracks (cosmetic, requiring sealant only) — two different scopes with different cost profiles and urgency levels.
Masonry Cleaning & Sealing
Chemical or steam cleaning, poultice application for embedded stains, then breathable penetrating sealers that repel water without trapping moisture vapor.
Post-hail cleaning removes embedded limestone dust and debris from brick pores before sealing. On Frisco's Class A campuses — The Star, Frisco Station, HALL Park — cleaning and sealing after a major storm event is the first step before a full damage assessment, protecting restored surfaces while the inspection is underway.

Why Frisco Buildings Need Masonry Restoration Now
Frisco grew 500% from 33,828 residents in 2000 to over 200,000 in 2020 — making it one of the fastest-growing cities in the country for two consecutive decades. That growth produced thousands of commercial buildings in the 2000s and 2010s now entering their first major maintenance windows simultaneously. HALL Park's earliest buildings are approaching 15+ years; The Star opened August 21, 2016 and is past the 10-year standard inspection interval for curtain wall sealant and joint replacement.
The June 2023 DFW hail storms generated $7-10 billion in insured losses with hail accounting for 95% of the damage. Collin County's hail corridor has now delivered multiple major events since Frisco's commercial stock was built — and many high-profile buildings have never had a comprehensive post-storm masonry and sealant inspection.
Griffin Restoration serves Frisco and Collin County with licensed crews, 56' and 72' boom trucks for self-performing access, and the documentation and material specifications that Class A facility managers require for capital planning.

Commercial Masonry Restoration FAQ
What is the difference between masonry repair and masonry restoration?
Masonry repair addresses isolated failures — a cracked brick unit, a spalled sill, a localized gap in mortar at a single penetration. Masonry restoration is a systematic, building-wide program: probing every joint, documenting deterioration, replacing failed units, repointing the entire facade, and sealing to protect the restored substrate. Frisco's Class A commercial campuses — HALL Park (17 buildings, 2.2M+ sq ft), The Star, and Frisco Station — are now entering the 10-15 year window where comprehensive sealant and masonry restoration programs are required for the first time. Isolated touch-ups at this stage accelerate facade non-uniformity.
How do you match mortar color and composition on older commercial buildings?
We take samples from undisturbed joints, analyze aggregate color, binder ratio, and texture, then formulate a custom mix that cures to match. For Frisco's 2000s-era brick commercial buildings — including Frisco ISD campuses that rank among the country's fastest-growing school districts — weathered mortar has typically lightened and developed a distinct surface texture after 15+ years. We cure sample patches to verify the visual match before full-scale repointing begins. In Frisco's premium commercial environment, mortar uniformity is a tenant retention issue, not just a maintenance detail.
What causes masonry deterioration on commercial buildings?
In Frisco and Collin County, the primary drivers are severe hail events, thermal cycling, and clay soil movement. The April 2024 hail event produced 2.75-inch stones across Frisco's commercial corridors; the June 2023 DFW storms generated $7-10 billion in insured losses with hail accounting for 95% of damage. HALL Park's earliest buildings — some approaching 15+ years — and The Star (opened August 2016, now past 10 years) have absorbed multiple major hail events without comprehensive facade inspections. Each event drives moisture into micro-cracks that opened during the previous cycle.
How long does commercial masonry restoration last?
Properly executed tuckpointing with matched mortar lasts 20-30 years. Breathable penetrating sealers extend service intervals by repelling water at the substrate level without trapping moisture. For Frisco's Class A campuses — where TIAA, Keurig Dr Pepper, T-Mobile, and the Dallas Cowboys maintain high-profile facilities — the restoration must produce results that remain visually consistent for the full service interval. We document every material specification and application record so successive facility managers can plan the next cycle without guesswork.
What is tuckpointing and when does a commercial building need it?
Tuckpointing removes deteriorated mortar to a minimum depth of 3/4 inch and packs new mortar into the raked joint, matched to original profile and color. A commercial building needs tuckpointing when mortar gaps exceed 1/4 inch, when efflorescence appears, or when the building was last repointed more than 20 years ago. Frisco's median year built of 2009 places a large share of commercial stock at 15+ years — entering the first major maintenance cycle. The Star at 10 years is at the standard inspection interval for curtain wall re-caulking and joint sealant replacement on high-profile Class A facilities. PGA Frisco's Texas limestone facade (opened August 2022) will reach that threshold by 2032 — proactive joint inspection now avoids accelerated deterioration.
