Commercial Masonry FAQs
What types of commercial masonry projects do you handle?
We specialize in a wide range of projects including new building construction, additions, CMU block walls, elevator shafts, brick and stone veneers, structural infills, parapet repairs, trash enclosures, and restoration work. From small-scale repairs to multi-million-dollar builds, we have the workforce and experience to deliver.
How do you ensure projects stay on schedule and within budget?
Before starting, we develop a detailed project schedule and contract. We coordinate closely with the general contractor, architects, and other trades to avoid delays. Our estimating process accounts for labor, materials, and site conditions so costs remain predictable.
Do you work with general contractors and developers?
Yes. Most of our work is performed as a subcontractor for commercial GCs and developers. We understand contract requirements, site safety, compliance, and the importance of professional communication.
Can you match existing masonry on a commercial building?
Yes. Whether it’s brick, block, or stone, we specialize in sourcing and blending materials so repairs or additions look seamless. This is especially critical for retail centers, schools, and office buildings where appearance impacts value and tenant satisfaction.
Do you provide engineered shop drawings and submittals?
Yes. For structural masonry projects, we can coordinate engineered shop drawings, product data, mix designs, and samples. We work hand-in-hand with project engineers and inspectors to meet specifications.
What safety measures do you follow on job sites?
Safety is our top priority. Our crews follow OSHA standards, receive regular training, and maintain certifications for scaffolding, equipment operation, and fall protection. Daily jobsite safety meetings are conducted to protect workers and other trades.
How do I request a bid or estimate?
Simply send us your drawings and project documents, and our estimating department will prepare a detailed proposal. We can provide lump sum bids, unit pricing, or time-and-material rates depending on project needs.
Do you handle repairs and maintenance for commercial properties?
Yes. Beyond new construction, we offer tuckpointing, brick replacement, CMU crack repair, waterproofing, and sealing. Many property managers rely on us for ongoing maintenance to extend the life of their masonry assets.
Residential Masonry FAQs
What are the advantages of a masonry home?
Masonry homes are built to last. They resist fire, insects, mold, and harsh weather conditions. They also provide superior soundproofing and tend to hold their value over time compared to other construction types.
Can masonry homes be energy efficient?
Yes. Masonry walls help regulate indoor temperatures by absorbing and releasing heat slowly. Paired with modern insulation—inside block cavities, behind drywall, or on the exterior—you get a more energy-efficient and comfortable home.
What kind of maintenance does a masonry home need?
Masonry requires very little maintenance. Routine cleaning and periodic inspections are usually enough. Mortar joints can last 50–100 years before repointing is necessary, making masonry one of the lowest-maintenance building materials.
Do you repair and restore older masonry homes?
Absolutely. Whether it’s cracked brick, foundation block issues, leaning walls, or full façade restorations, our team specializes in bringing older masonry back to life while preserving its original character.
Can masonry be customized for design?
Yes. Masonry offers endless design options—colors, textures, patterns, and finishes can be combined to create a one-of-a-kind look that adds beauty and value to your home.
