Masonry construction
Masonry construction provides durable, fire-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing structures that can last for generations. Our masonry services include concrete block, brick, natural stone, and manufactured stone veneer for a wide range of applications including retaining walls, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pillars, and architectural features.
Proper masonry construction requires skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each course must be level, joints must be properly filled and tooled, and the structure must be properly reinforced and anchored. Our masons have the experience and training to deliver quality results.
Retaining walls
Retaining walls hold back soil and prevent erosion on sloped properties. They can be constructed from concrete block, natural stone, or interlocking wall systems. Proper drainage behind the wall is essential to prevent hydrostatic pressure that can cause wall failure. We design and build retaining walls that are both functional and attractive.
Segmental retaining wall systems offer a versatile and cost-effective solution for many applications. These systems use interlocking concrete units that do not require mortar, allowing for some flexibility as the ground settles. Taller walls require geogrid reinforcement for stability.
Fireplaces and outdoor kitchens
A masonry fireplace or outdoor kitchen adds value and enjoyment to your home. Custom fireplaces can be designed to match your interior or exterior style, with options for stone, brick, or manufactured veneer. Outdoor kitchens extend your living space and create an ideal setting for entertaining.
Masonry fireplaces require proper footings, flue liners, and clearances to combustible materials. Our team ensures your fireplace or outdoor kitchen is built safely and meets all applicable building codes. We work with you to design a space that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
Repair and restoration
Existing masonry structures may require repair due to age, weather damage, or settlement issues. Tuckpointing replaces deteriorated mortar joints, restoring the structural integrity and appearance of brick and stone work. Cracked or spalled masonry units can be replaced individually without rebuilding the entire structure.
Water damage is a common cause of masonry deterioration. Proper waterproofing and drainage protect masonry structures from freeze-thaw damage and efflorescence staining. We identify the source of water issues and recommend solutions to protect your masonry investment.
