Masonry done properly, start to finish
Masonry lasts for generations when it is built and maintained correctly, and fails early when water gets in. The mortar joint is the first line of defense, and in central Ohio it takes a beating from freeze-thaw cycles every winter.
Our masons match existing brick, stone and mortar so repairs blend in rather than stand out. We also repair the cause, whether that is a failing chimney crown, missing flashing, poor drainage or a settled base, so the problem does not return.
We build new masonry too: veneer, patios, steps, walkways and retaining walls. And because we are also roofers, we handle the places where roof and masonry meet, which is where many leaks begin.

Roofing questions
How often does mortar need to be repointed?
Mortar typically lasts decades, but exposure and freeze-thaw cycles can shorten that. If joints are recessed, cracked or crumbling, it is time to have them looked at before water damages the brick.
Can you match my existing brick or stone?
In most cases yes. We source matching brick and stone and match mortar color, strength and joint profile so repairs blend in.
Why does my chimney leak?
The most common causes are a cracked crown, failed flashing and deteriorated mortar joints. We find the specific cause and repair it rather than just sealing the surface.
What is the white powder on my brick?
Efflorescence is salt deposited as moisture moves through masonry. It is cosmetic by itself but signals water getting in, so the moisture source should be found and fixed.
How long does a patio or retaining wall last?
Built on a properly prepared base with good drainage, they last for decades. Most early failures come from poor bases and drainage, which is where we put our effort.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes. Facade repair, parapet walls, retaining walls, sealing and restoration, scheduled around your business.
Do you handle roof and masonry problems together?
Yes, and that is a big advantage. Chimneys, parapets and flashing sit where both trades meet, so one crew can fix the whole problem.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. You receive a written workmanship warranty on new construction and major repairs.
