What Good Masonry Really Gets You

You get stonework that doesn’t crack after the first hard freeze. Brickwork that stays straight and solid for decades, not just until the next storm rolls through.

When masonry is done right, you stop worrying about water getting where it shouldn’t. Your property value goes up instead of down. You’re not calling contractors every few years to fix the same problems over and over.

The difference shows up in your monthly maintenance headaches – or lack of them. Good masonry means fewer emergency calls, fewer surprise repair bills, and more confidence that your investment is actually protecting your property instead of just looking pretty for a season.

How We Handle Your Project

First, we come look at what you need. Not just a quick glance – we check the foundation, drainage, existing conditions that could affect the work. You get a clear estimate that covers the actual scope.

During construction, we prep properly. That means excavation done right, proper base preparation, and using materials that match your climate needs. No rushing through the foundation work that everything else depends on.

We build systematically. Each course of stone or brick gets checked for level and alignment. Mortar joints are consistent. Drainage is handled correctly so water goes where it’s supposed to go. When we’re done, you get masonry that looks professional and performs reliably for years.

Most residential masonry repairs take anywhere from one day to a week, depending on the scope. Simple repointing or small crack repairs can often be completed in a day. Larger projects like rebuilding sections of walls or extensive stone repair work typically take several days to a week. Weather plays a role too – masonry work needs proper curing time, so we don’t rush jobs when conditions aren’t right. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific project and current weather conditions.
Repair means fixing what’s there – repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged individual stones or bricks, sealing cracks, or addressing specific problem areas. Replacement means tearing out sections or entire structures and rebuilding from scratch. We recommend repair when the underlying structure is sound and the damage is localized. Replacement makes sense when you’re dealing with widespread deterioration, structural issues, or when repair costs start approaching replacement costs. We’ll assess your situation honestly and explain which approach makes the most financial sense.
Yes, but it takes some effort to get it right. Matching older masonry means finding materials that complement the existing work in size, color, and texture. Sometimes we can source reclaimed materials that blend perfectly. Other times we work with suppliers who specialize in matching historical materials. The mortar color and joint profile are just as important as the stone or brick itself. We take samples and test different combinations until we get a match that looks natural, not like an obvious patch job.
Masonry work is temperature-sensitive, especially when it comes to mortar curing. We don’t do new masonry installation when temperatures are consistently below freezing because the mortar won’t cure properly. However, we can handle emergency repairs using cold-weather techniques and materials when necessary. Spring through fall is the ideal window for most masonry projects. We plan larger projects during good weather months and focus on emergency repairs and indoor preparation work during winter. If you have urgent issues, we’ll find a way to stabilize things until proper repairs can be completed.
Water is the biggest enemy of masonry. When water gets into cracks and freezes, it expands and causes more damage. Poor drainage, failed mortar joints, and improper installation techniques all contribute to premature failure. Prevention starts with good construction practices – proper footings, adequate drainage, quality materials, and correct mortar selection. Regular maintenance like repointing mortar joints before they completely fail makes a huge difference. We also recommend addressing small problems quickly before they become major structural issues that cost significantly more to fix.
