You also get the peace of mind that comes with working with contractors who show up when they say they will and finish what they start. No disappearing acts, no surprise costs, no wondering if the job will actually get done right.

Masonry Construction Process Glenolden

Here's How Your Project Actually Happens

First, we come out to look at your project in person. We measure, assess the site conditions, and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish. You get a clear estimate with no hidden costs or surprise additions later.

Once you approve the project, we handle any necessary permits and schedule the work around your timeline. We prep the site properly – which means proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage considerations that prevent future problems.

Then we build it right the first time using quality materials and proven techniques. We clean up completely when we’re done and walk through the completed work with you. You get masonry that looks professional and will still look good years from now.

Residential Commercial Masonry Services

Complete Masonry Services for Every Project

We handle brick masonry for everything from simple repairs to complete installations. Cracked mortar joints, damaged bricks, new brick patios, walkways, and walls – if it involves brickwork, we do it right.

Stone masonry is another specialty. Natural stone retaining walls, decorative stone facades, stone steps, and fieldstone projects. We work with various stone types and can match existing stonework for additions or repairs.

Concrete masonry covers your structural needs. Concrete block walls, foundations, and decorative concrete work. We also handle masonry repair for existing structures – fixing what’s broken before it becomes a bigger problem. Both residential and commercial properties throughout Glenolden get the same attention to detail and quality craftsmanship.

How long does typical masonry work last in Pennsylvania weather?

Quality masonry work should last 30-50 years or more in Pennsylvania’s climate when it’s built correctly. The key is proper drainage, appropriate mortar selection, and techniques that account for freeze-thaw cycles. We use materials and methods specifically chosen for our local conditions. Cheap masonry work might look fine initially but often shows problems within 5-10 years – cracking, shifting, or mortar deterioration. That’s why the initial investment in quality materials and proper installation saves money long-term.

What's the difference between a mason and a general contractor for masonry?

Masons specialize specifically in working with brick, stone, and concrete block. We understand mortar types, proper joint techniques, drainage requirements, and how different materials behave in various conditions. General contractors might subcontract masonry work or attempt it themselves without the specialized knowledge. This often leads to problems like improper mortar mix, inadequate drainage, or techniques that don’t account for local soil and weather conditions. When your project involves significant masonry work, using actual masons typically results in better quality and fewer future problems.

How do you handle drainage issues with masonry installations?

Proper drainage is critical for masonry longevity, especially with retaining walls and foundations. We install appropriate drainage systems behind walls, use proper backfill materials, and ensure water moves away from the structure rather than building up behind it. This includes weep holes where needed, proper grading, and sometimes drainage pipe installation. Many masonry failures happen because water wasn’t properly managed during construction. We assess drainage requirements during the initial site evaluation and build the necessary drainage into every project from the start.

Can you match existing masonry for additions or repairs?

Yes, matching existing masonry is something we do regularly. We can match brick types, mortar colors, and stone varieties to blend seamlessly with your current structure. Sometimes this requires sourcing specific materials or custom mortar mixing to get the color and texture right. We bring samples when possible so you can see how the match will look before we proceed. The goal is making repairs or additions look like they were always part of the original structure, not obvious patches or mismatched sections.

Do you handle permits for masonry projects in Glenolden?

We handle permit applications for projects that require them and we’re familiar with Glenolden’s building requirements. Not every masonry project needs permits, but retaining walls over certain heights, structural work, and some commercial projects do require approval. We know which projects need permits and can guide you through the process. This includes providing the necessary drawings and specifications for permit applications. Having local experience means we understand what the township expects and can avoid delays in the approval process.

What should I expect to pay for masonry work?

Masonry costs vary significantly based on materials, project complexity, and site conditions. Simple repairs might cost a few hundred dollars while complete installations can range from thousands to tens of thousands depending on size and materials. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand what you’re paying for. Quality masonry isn’t the cheapest option upfront, but it’s typically the most cost-effective long-term because it lasts longer and requires fewer repairs. We’re transparent about pricing and don’t add surprise costs after the project starts.
