Plan a Project

parker_gardenEach project that we do is a unique combination of design, material, and location. It is also fairly permanent, so thorough planning for a masonry addition to your home or business is key to the success of the project. We have worked with many architects and homeowners over many years to develop their ideas and source the right material. We have also worked with engineers to develop solutions to problems with historical buildings or masonry structures.

The variety in scope of masonry projects is broad, so we've listed types and the needs they serve below:

  • Add a patio to create an outdoor living space.
  • Build an outdoor fireplace or fire-pit to add ambiance to an outdoor room.
  • Add a stone or brick base to hold a grill insert and create an outdoor cooking space.
  • Add a wood-burning pizza oven to your patio or new kitchen.
  • Build retaining walls to sculpt the landscape or create planting beds.
  • Build stone stairs to provide a transition from one elevation to another.
  • Build a masonry walkway to guide foot traffic around your property.
  • Put a stone or brick floor inside your house to create a unique, durable, and low maintenance walking surface.
  • Add stone, brick, or stucco veneer to a building to enhance the appearance and provide a maintenance free exterior.
  • Build a fireplace to add warmth and ambiance to your home.
  • Build a chimney for adding a wood stove.
  • Restore an historic structure so it can be preserved or re-purposed for another use.
  • Commercial or public buildings built with masonry.

When a client imagines what they want, we meet with them on site to discuss materials, walk through design and/or layout of the project, creating renderings back at our office if needed. We provide real samples of materials to the client to assist them in decision making. We then will draft a proposal and if accepted, schedule the work. We have a skilled crew and the equipment and tools needed to execute any project in a timely manner. We know that construction around your home is disruptive and we work to get in and finished as quickly as possible while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

If we're working on new construction, we can provide the owner with photo or video updates as the work progresses. We are happy to provide references upon request. A masonry addition adds to the beauty and value of your home or business, and thoughtful planning and clear communication is very important to the outcome.
