Has anyone tried brick restoration themselves? How did it go?
Quote from hehat on January 2, 2026, 8:39 amI’ve got an older brick walkway and porch that are starting to show their age. The mortar is crumbling in spots and some bricks are looking pretty rough. I’m handy and I’m considering tackling the brick restoration and cleaning myself, but I’m a little intimidated.
For those who have done it: Was it worth the effort? Any major pitfalls or things you wish you knew before starting? I’m trying to decide if this is a realistic DIY project or if I should just call a pro from the start. Any advice or experiences would be really helpful!
