Custom Masonry That Transforms Your Property
Philadelphia isn’t just a city—it’s a living archive of craftsmanship. Walk through Center City, and you’ll see brick courtyards worn smooth by time, intricate stone facades that have stood for centuries, and masonry work that has shaped the city's identity. At APS Masonry Contracting, we don’t just build with brick and stone—we create unique spaces that connect with this legacy while giving your home or business new life.
At the core of our work is customer satisfaction. Some residential projects call for historic restorations that respect Philadelphia’s architectural heritage, while others demand bold, contemporary designs that make a statement. We take the time to understand how you live and what you need. Then, we create solutions that fit your vision, budget, and timeline.
Philadelphia Custom Masonry Services
-
Brickwork with Architectural Elegance
There’s a reason Philadelphia is known for its brick—it’s timeless, sophisticated, and built to last. Whether you want classic Flemish bond brickwork for an upscale, historic feel or a modern geometric design, our masons craft walls, facades, and fireplaces that seamlessly blend tradition with innovation.
-
Stone Veneer That Elevates Your Space
A limestone accent wall, a schist-clad fireplace, or a granite outdoor bar doesn’t just look luxurious—it adds lasting value. Inspired by the stonework of Philadelphia’s historic mansions, our custom stone veneer designs bring texture and sophistication to any space.
-
Mixed Materials for a Bold Statement
Some of the most stunning designs come from contrast. Brick and steel, stone and glass, concrete and reclaimed wood—when combined thoughtfully, these materials create a bold, dynamic look. Our team specializes in blending traditional masonry with modern elements, ensuring your project is both structurally sound and visually striking.
-
Bluestone: The Perfect Balance of Strength and Style
Bluestone isn’t just tough—it’s got that natural, understated elegance that fits right into Philly’s mix of historic charm and modern style. You’ll see it on classic brownstone steps, tucked into garden walkways, or framing cozy backyard patios. It holds up against the city’s rough winters, resists wear, and looks better with age.


Enhancing Curb Appeal & Outdoor Living
Grand Entryways & Facades
Your home’s entrance is its first impression. Whether it’s a grand stone archway, a hand-laid brick path, or a custom masonry gate, we design entrances that add instant class and curb appeal. Inspired by Chestnut Hill estates and Old City brownstones, our work blends history with personalized style.
Outdoor Spaces Built for Entertaining
Philadelphia’s best gatherings happen outdoors—from summer barbecues in Fairmount to cozy fall nights by a fire in Fishtown. Why not bring that atmosphere to your own backyard? Our custom masonry patios, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens are designed for effortless entertaining. Whether you want a paver stone courtyard like Elfreth’s Alley or a sleek concrete patio for modern living, we build beautiful, functional spaces that stand the test of time.
