More about masonry repair
Brick and stone repair
We replace damaged, spalling, or missing bricks and stones — matching existing materials as closely as possible. We also handle mortar joint repair (tuckpointing) on exterior walls, steps, and walkways where deterioration is letting water in. Catching this early is significantly less expensive than waiting until full replacement is required.
Retaining walls
We build block, stone, and brick retaining walls designed to last. Proper construction includes base depth, drainage aggregate behind the wall, and appropriate batter (backward lean) depending on wall height. A wall built without drainage will fail — we do it right the first time.
Walkways, patios, and driveways
We install bluestone, brick, and paver walkways and patios with proper base preparation — packed stone aggregate base at the right depth for the application. For concrete driveways, we pour with appropriate reinforcement and control joints to manage cracking. We also handle concrete stair installation and repair.
Common Questions
Can you match existing brick for a repair?
We make every effort to match existing brick as closely as possible. Older bricks can be difficult to match exactly, but we work with suppliers to get as close as we can and will show you samples before the repair.
How long do paver walkways last?
Properly installed paver walkways with an adequate base typically last 25–30 years before needing significant maintenance. The base preparation — depth, compaction, and drainage — is the most important factor in long-term performance.
Do you do retaining wall repairs, or only new construction?
Both. For walls that are leaning, have failed drainage, or have damaged sections, we assess whether repair or rebuilding is the right approach and give you an honest recommendation.
What areas do you serve for masonry work?
We serve homeowners throughout Montgomery County, Maryland — including Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Potomac, Silver Spring, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Wheaton, Kensington, and North Potomac.
