Your property value increases. Your maintenance headaches decrease. And you stop worrying about whether that retaining wall will hold or if those front steps will start separating from the house again.

The difference shows up in year five, year ten, and beyond. While your neighbors are calling contractors to fix failing work, your masonry is still solid. That’s the outcome you’re really paying for.

Here's How We Handle Masonry Projects

First, we assess your site and discuss what you need. This includes checking existing structures, soil conditions, and any drainage issues that could affect the work.

Next comes proper foundation preparation. This is where most masonry problems start, so we dig to appropriate depths, ensure proper drainage, and create stable bases that won’t shift or settle.

Then the actual masonry work begins. Whether it’s brick, stone, or concrete, we use proven techniques and quality materials. Each course is level, properly mortared, and built to last through Pennsylvania’s weather cycles.

Final cleanup and inspection ensure everything meets our standards and local codes. You get masonry work that looks good and performs properly for decades.

Properly installed masonry work should last 50-100 years in Pennsylvania’s climate. The key factors are proper foundation preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that account for freeze-thaw cycles. Cheaper installations that skip foundation work or use inferior materials often start showing problems within 5-10 years. When masonry is done right from the start, with appropriate drainage and proper mortar joints, it handles Pennsylvania weather without major issues for decades.
Brick masonry uses manufactured clay bricks that offer consistent size and color. It’s ideal for walls, walkways, and structures where uniformity matters. Stone masonry uses natural stone materials that provide unique textures and colors but require more skill to install properly. Concrete masonry includes blocks, pavers, and poured concrete work that offers durability and cost-effectiveness. Each material has specific advantages depending on your project needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences. The installation techniques vary, but all require proper foundation work and weatherproofing.
Proper drainage is critical for masonry longevity in Pennsylvania. We start by assessing existing water flow patterns and soil conditions. Then we install appropriate drainage systems behind retaining walls, under walkways, and around foundations. This typically includes gravel backfill, drainage pipes, and proper grading to direct water away from masonry structures. Without adequate drainage, water buildup leads to freeze-thaw damage, settling, and structural problems. Every masonry project gets drainage considerations built into the design and installation process.
Yes, but the approach depends on why the masonry is failing. Surface cracks in mortar joints can often be repointed with new mortar. However, if the structure is settling or the foundation is compromised, more extensive repairs are needed. This might involve partial reconstruction with proper foundation work. We assess the underlying cause first, then recommend repair methods that actually solve the problem rather than just covering symptoms. Sometimes partial rebuilding costs less long-term than repeated patch repairs.
We handle permit applications for projects that require them in Aston and Delaware County. This includes structural walls, major repairs, and commercial work. We’re familiar with local building codes and inspection requirements, which helps projects move smoothly through the approval process. For smaller residential projects like walkways or garden walls, permits typically aren’t required, but we’ll let you know what’s needed for your specific project. Having proper permits protects you and ensures the work meets local safety standards.
Masonry costs vary significantly based on materials, project complexity, and site conditions. Simple concrete walkways cost less than natural stone retaining walls. However, the cheapest bid usually means shortcuts in foundation work, materials, or installation quality. Quality masonry work is an investment that pays off through longevity and reduced maintenance. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any site preparation needed. This helps you understand what you’re paying for and compare proposals accurately rather than just looking at bottom-line numbers.
