Concrete & Masonry

Concrete and masonry are the structural backbone of any build. From foundations and sidewalks to brick walls and retaining systems, this trade combines form, function, and long-term durability. It’s not just about pouring slabs or stacking blocks — it’s about grading, drainage, reinforcement, weatherproofing, and knowing how to build to code in some of the toughest climates and densest cities in the country.

Foundation & Structural Concrete

Paver Patios & Walkways

Masonry Repair & Repointing

Steps, Stoops & Sidewalks

Curing or Mortar Setting

Weather-controlled curing for strength gain; joint finishing and moisture protection.

Sealing & Final Touches

Expansion joints, sealant, pressure washing, or edge smoothing for clean results.

Common Services We Offer

Foundations & Footings: Pouring slab, crawlspace, or deep footings for new construction and additions.

Driveways, Walkways & Patios: Custom layouts using concrete, pavers, or natural stone — including proper drainage sloping.

Retaining Walls & Garden Borders: Engineered structures that manage slope, soil pressure, or simply enhance curb appeal.

Stoops, Steps & Sidewalks: DOT-compliant work for residential and commercial entryways, complete with expansion joints and rebar support.

How long does a concrete patio take to install?

Most patios take 2–4 days, plus curing time. Weather and site prep may affect the timeline, but we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

How thick does a concrete driveway need to be?

Typically 4 inches for passenger vehicles, 5–6 inches for heavier loads. We assess use, soil, and slope to recommend the right spec for durability and longevity.

What kind of maintenance does stamped or decorative concrete require?

Decorative concrete should be resealed every 2–3 years to prevent fading, staining, or surface wear. We offer maintenance schedules and touch-up options depending on usage and exposure.

How long does it take for concrete to fully cure?

Initial curing takes 24–48 hours (safe for walking), but full strength is reached in 28 days. We use curing methods and sealants to speed drying where possible without compromising strength.

Can you match existing brick or stone on my property?

Yes — we source a wide variety of materials and can closely match color, texture, and pattern. For historic or aged buildings, we may use acid wash or specialty mortar to blend it naturally.

What’s the difference between poured concrete and pavers?

Poured concrete is a single slab, good for durability and fast installs. Pavers offer flexibility, easy replacement, and aesthetic variety. We’ll recommend what works best for your location and use case.

Why Good Concrete and Masonry Matter

Unlike many visible finishes, concrete and masonry aren’t easily corrected once installed. An improperly sloped patio can cause water pooling. A foundation without rebar or proper curing can lead to settling, shifting, or cracking down the line. That’s why everything from soil compaction to weather conditions during the pour must be considered.
Professional crews don’t just install — they anticipate issues before they happen. Whether you’re building new or repairing old, this phase sets the tone for everything above it.
