Masonry Services in Philadelphia – Brick Pointing, Repairs & Restoration

We specialize in construction that respects the structure, layout, and daily life of Philadelphia homes, from small-scale masonry restoration to full remodeling and concrete projects.

• Rowhouse-smart planning for party walls, shared lintels, and 36" alleyways

• Clean jobsites with daily sweep-downs and stoop/floor protection on walkable blocks

• Clear line-item proposals, reliable scheduling, and photo-verified milestones

• Material drop coordination around SEPTA routes, school zones, and city loading hours

• Full-Service Masonry

  Philadelphia properties demand more than patch jobs, they need structural solutions that last. We handle masonry repairs, façade stabilization, and additions in brick, block, stone, and Wissahickon schist. Our team rebuilds failing walls, ties into party-wall construction, and restores both form and function for historic homes and mixed-use buildings.
  

  We’ve completed brick wall rebuilds, full-pointing, and structural retrofits across South Philly, Chestnut Hill, and Roxborough, all while keeping jobsite footprints tight and clean.

• Brick Pointing

  Old mortar doesn’t just crumble, it lets water in, causes brick face damage, and threatens the structural integrity of your exterior walls. Our brick pointing crews perform cut-and-fill repointing on Philadelphia rowhomes, restoring mortar joints while preserving architectural character.
  

  We match color, texture, and depth for a seamless finish that protects against water intrusion and freeze-thaw cracking. Most jobs wrap in 1–3 days with minimal disruption to foot traffic and neighbors.

• Chimney Repair

  Chimneys take constant abuse from weather and time. We handle everything from flashing repair and crown replacement to full chimney rebuilds and flue liner installations. Whether it’s a flat-roof rowhome in South Philly or a slate-roof twin in Mt. Airy, we ensure the chimney is safe, weather-tight, and up to modern ventilation standards.
  

  We also perform smoke testing, masonry crack repair, and mortar repointing as part of complete chimney restoration packages.

• Custom Masonry Designs

  Philadelphia’s historic homes are defined by detail and we help preserve that through tailored masonry work. Our custom designs include stoops, lintels, entry stairs, arches, planters, and architectural stone features designed to blend into historic streetscapes.

  Clients turn to us for everything from decorative brickwork on Bella Vista façades to stone planter walls in Chestnut Hill. We deliver both form and durability, tuned to the style of your block.

• Bluestone Masonry

  Bluestone patios and stoops need more than nice joints, they need proper pitch, drainage paths, and durability for Philadelphia’s freeze-thaw cycles. We handle everything from tread and cap replacement to full bluestone walkway and terrace installations, ensuring long-term performance and a clean finish.

  Tight joints, right slope, and freeze-smart materials are standard. We work with Pennsylvania bluestone in new layouts and restoration work alike.

• Brownstone Masonry

  Brownstone restoration requires skill, not guesswork. We restore stoops, sills, and full façade elements with color-matched patching, spall repair, and replication of decorative profiles. Our crews know how to work with weathered brownstone while respecting the structure underneath, no shortcuts, no modern mismatches.

  Ideal for Queen Village, West Philly, and any home where detail matters and historical consistency is non-negotiable.
