Brick, block and stone masonry

explained before we start

I ran a small landscaping business before I went into masonry full time, and I learned brick, block and stone work beside a mason who'd spent decades at it. Most calls we get are about worn mortar, a cracked wall or a project somebody wants to plan right the first time. There's more on how we got started.

We're based in El Paso and work across the city and the cities around it, on both the Texas and New Mexico sides. Call (915) 265-1230 or send a request from our contact page, and tell us what you're seeing.

I want you to understand your own house well enough to make a good call, even if you end up hiring someone else.

  • The owner on every job

    I come out to look at every job and write the estimate myself, so the person explaining the work answers for it. I keep checking on our crew until the job is finished.

  • Plain answers before you decide

    I'll point at the actual joint or crack and tell you what's going on in plain words, right there at your house. You'll know what it needs and why before anything gets decided.

Masonry repair and building

aimed at the real cause

A crack or a crumbling joint is usually a sign of something else, so we find what's causing it before we fix the part you can see.

Good masonry keeps water out and keeps a wall carrying its weight. Once mortar wears thin or a crack opens, water works in behind the face and the damage spreads, so I look for where it's getting in, like a cracked cap, ground sloping toward the wall or a downspout dumping on brick.

El Paso gets under nine inches of rain in a normal year, but July through September are the wettest months, and June's normal daily high is about 97 degrees. Fresh mortar and concrete don't like either one, so we plan the work around the weather and keep new joints damp and shaded while they set.

How we work

  1. Call or send a request

    Call (915) 265-1230 or send a request through our contact form, and we'll get back to you within one business day.

  2. I look and explain

    I come out, look at the job with you, explain what I see and leave a free written estimate, with no obligation to go ahead.

  3. Work, then a walk-through

    If you go ahead, our crew does the work with me checking on it, and we walk the finished job together before we call it done.

Why El Paso homeowners call us

  • Estimates you can compare

    Your written estimate spells out what's covered and what isn't, so you can lay it next to another bid and see what you're actually paying for.

  • Permits checked for your address

    I check which office covers your address before work starts, because it changes from one city to the next. When a permit's needed, we handle the paperwork and keep you posted.

  • Calls taken seven days a week

    We pick up seven days a week from 8 AM to 9 PM, so you can ask about a crack after work instead of taking time off.

  • Repairs that match your house

    On older brick and stone, we match the mortar color and the joint shape to what's already there, so a repair blends in with the rest of the wall.

You get plain talk before the work starts, careful work once it does, and your satisfaction, guaranteed.

Your local masonry crew

with the owner checking in

Our crew handles brick, block, stone and concrete work around your house and yard, including:

Our crew does the work, and I stop by as the job goes to check the joints, the lines and the drainage. We treat your house as somebody's home, not a job site, so we keep tools off finished surfaces and ask before moving anything of yours.

Our commitment to El Paso homes

and the time you give us

I'd rather take the time at your house to walk you through a job than have you sign off on something you don't follow. I'll show you the joint that's failing, tell you why I think it's failing and what I'd do about it, and answer the same question twice if you need me to.

Your time and your yard count too. We set the start with you, tell you early if a permit or the weather moves it, keep the work area tidy so your driveway still works and clean up before we leave.

If something changes once a wall is open, you'll hear what we found and why from me before we go further.

Tell us about your wall or project

Describe what you're seeing or planning and where the house is. We'll get back to you within one business day, and I'll come out and leave a free written estimate, no obligation.
