We see this problem often here in Houston,TX..We are a small masonry repair
contractor in Spring, TX..There are very few options available. If there is a
way to access your home warranty, you could ask them to repair. Second option
is to call someone like us. We would demolition 2 to 3 feet of garage and
replace lentil with stronger back. A stronger piece of iron the is 4 inches on
one side and the other side 5 to 6 inches. If the masonry above garage is
attached well with wall ties,there is a possibility that entire gable will
have to come down. This is not a DIY project. It's best to call a pro. In our
area it is considered an extensive repair. You can expect to pay 3200 to 7000.
There really is no easy way to do it right. The guys at www.masoncrew.net are
wonderful and you can trust them to give you a free evaluation if you send
pictures.

Tragically, five years ago, Dan was sitting in his running car when the garage collapsed. The car exploded and Dan was killed in the fire that destroyed both the car and garage. It was awful, Dan left behind 18 children. o_O
