Our Masonry Construction Process

How We Handle Your Masonry Project

Every masonry project starts with a thorough site evaluation. We assess your soil conditions, drainage patterns, and existing structures to ensure proper foundation and installation. This prevents the settling and water issues that plague poorly planned masonry work.

Next, we handle all necessary permits and ensure compliance with local building codes. Many property owners don’t realize that certain masonry work requires permits, but we take care of this process so you don’t have to worry about code violations or inspection failures.

During construction, we focus on proper preparation and installation techniques. This means adequate excavation, proper base materials, correct mortar mixing, and attention to drainage details. We clean up thoroughly each day and complete the project on schedule. After completion, we walk through the finished work with you and provide warranty information for your records.

Quality masonry work should last 50+ years in Pennsylvania’s climate when properly installed. The key is using the right materials and installation techniques for our freeze-thaw cycles. We use mortar formulated for cold weather conditions and ensure proper drainage to prevent water infiltration. Cheaper installations often fail within 5-10 years because contractors skip critical steps like adequate base preparation or use inferior materials. When you invest in professional masonry work, you’re avoiding the costly repairs and replacements that come with shortcuts.
Masonry repair works when the structural foundation is sound but surface materials have deteriorated. This includes repointing mortar joints, replacing individual bricks or stones, or fixing minor settling cracks. Full replacement is necessary when the foundation has failed, extensive water damage has occurred, or more than 40% of the structure needs repair. We evaluate each situation honestly because recommending unnecessary replacement work would damage our reputation. Sometimes a $500 repair job solves the problem that another contractor might quote as a $5000 replacement project.
Most decorative masonry like patios and walkways don’t require permits, but retaining walls over 4 feet, structural work, and anything affecting drainage usually does. Media Township has specific requirements for masonry work, especially regarding setbacks and drainage management. We handle the permit process as part of our service because we know the local requirements and have established relationships with the building department. Unpermitted work can create problems when you sell your property or file insurance claims, so it’s worth doing it right from the start.
Proper drainage is critical for masonry longevity, especially in Media’s clay soils that don’t drain well naturally. We install adequate base materials, incorporate drainage systems where needed, and ensure water flows away from structures. Many masonry failures happen because contractors ignore drainage during installation. We evaluate your property’s water flow patterns and design the masonry work to work with natural drainage rather than against it. This prevents the water infiltration and freeze damage that destroys masonry work within a few years.
Masonry costs vary significantly based on materials, site conditions, and project complexity. Simple repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while custom stone patios or retaining walls can range from $15-30 per square foot depending on materials chosen. We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional costs like permits or site preparation. Quality masonry work costs more upfront but saves money long-term by avoiding repairs and replacements. We’re not the cheapest option, but our clients appreciate getting work that lasts decades rather than needing repairs in a few years.
Matching existing masonry requires experience with historical materials and construction techniques common in Media’s older neighborhoods. We work with specialty suppliers to source materials that complement existing brick, stone, or concrete work. Sometimes exact matches aren’t possible due to changes in manufacturing, but we can achieve very close matches that blend seamlessly with original construction. We also understand the structural differences in older masonry work and can integrate new construction with existing foundations properly. This expertise is especially important for additions or repairs on homes built before modern masonry standards.
