Masonry

Brick work is one of our core specialties. We construct new brick walls, facades, and structures using traditional masonry techniques refined over centuries. Our masons understand proper bonding patterns, expansion joints, weep holes, and flashing details that ensure long-term performance. We work with a variety of brick types including common brick, face brick, antique brick, and specialty colors and textures to achieve your desired aesthetic. For restoration projects, we carefully match existing brick in size, color, and texture to create seamless repairs that preserve historical character.

Stone masonry requires exceptional skill and an artistic eye, qualities our master masons possess in abundance. We work with natural stone including fieldstone, bluestone, limestone, granite, and slate to create stunning walls, veneers, patios, walkways, and architectural features. Whether you prefer the rustic charm of dry-stacked fieldstone or the refined elegance of cut stone with tight mortar joints, we have the expertise to bring your vision to life. Our stonework is built to last, with proper foundations, drainage, and construction techniques that prevent settling and deterioration.

Concrete block construction provides strength and economy for foundations, retaining walls, and commercial buildings. We construct block foundations with proper footings, reinforcement, waterproofing, and drainage systems. Our block work includes both standard CMU construction and decorative split-face or ground-face block for attractive, durable walls. We understand the importance of proper grout placement, reinforcement spacing, and control joints for structural integrity.

Mortar quality and application technique are crucial to masonry longevity. We use properly proportioned mortar mixes appropriate to the application and environmental conditions. Our masons create consistent joints that are properly tooled for weather resistance and aesthetic appeal. We understand that different masonry materials require different mortar types, and we select the right mortar for historic preservation, modern construction, or specialty applications.

We take pride in clean, professional work. Our crews protect surrounding areas, clean up thoroughly, and leave your property looking better than we found it. We're fully insured and follow all safety protocols for masonry work.
