Masonry for Bellmead homesfrom our crew in Waco
Most of what brings us to Bellmead is brick with worn joints, a chimney that lets water in, or a wall or walkway someone has put off. We do the same work next door in Lacy Lakeview and at home in Waco.
What you pay comes down to how much old mortar or brick has to come out, how hard the spot is to reach and the material you pick. Weather and any permit set the schedule, and your own number comes in the written estimate.
Call (254) 327-1950 or send the form, and I'll come take a look at your brick, chimney or yard.
What we do in Bellmeadfrom chimney tops to walkways
We bring every service on our list to Bellmead, from fixing joints on older brick to building new walls, outdoor kitchens and walkways.
- Foundation repair Cracked brick over a settling corner usually starts below, so we look at the foundation before touching the wall.
- Chimney repair Leaky chimneys usually trace to a cracked cap or worn joints up top, so that's where we start.
- Tuckpointing Worn joints on older brick houses get ground out and refilled with mortar that matches the color.
- Brick repair Flaking or cracked bricks come out one at a time, and we hunt down replacements that blend in.
- Driveway pavers Pavers on a packed base give your drive a finish we can lift and reset if a section sinks.
- Retaining wall construction Where a yard drops off, a retaining wall holds the dirt back and gives you flat ground to use.
- Masonry restoration Older brick that's been stained, cracked and patched over the years gets cleaned, repaired and pulled back together.
- Fireplace installation New fireplaces in brick or stone, sized to the room and laid out so the smoke goes up and out.
- Stone veneer installation Stone veneer, a thin stone facing, dresses up a plain front wall or porch without building in solid stone.
- Concrete block walls Block walls for property lines, privacy or a shop, left plain or finished in stucco or stone.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls for additions and outbuildings, laid level and plumb so everything above sits square.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Backyard grills and counters built in brick or stone that match the house they sit beside.
- Walkway construction A path from the drive to the door in brick, stone or pavers, laid so water runs off it.
- Brick wall installation New brick walls and garden walls, with the brick picked to match what's already on your house.
- Stone masonry Stone steps, columns and walls laid by hand, for yards that call for something heavier than brick.
- Brick pointing When only a few joints are cracked or sunken, we point those spots instead of redoing the whole wall.
Why Bellmead calls usfor brick, stone and chimneys
I came to masonry from restaurant kitchens, where a plate that goes out wrong comes right back. I run every job that way, and I'll tell you when a wall doesn't need work.
The owner sees every job
I come out to look at every job and write the estimate myself, then run the work on site beside our masons and helpers.
Licensed, insured and ready to show it
We're licensed and fully insured. Bellmead asks contractors to register with the city and show proof of license, so it's fair to ask anyone you're hiring.
Told straight when it can wait
If your brick only needs a few joints pointed, or nothing at all yet, I'll say so instead of selling you a bigger job.
Repairs that don't stand out
Mortar repair on older brick is what we're best known for, and we match the mortar color and joint shape so the fix blends in.
Your yard left clean
We clean up as we go and sweep up mortar dust and broken brick before the final walk, so you get your yard back ready to use.
From call to final walkon your Bellmead job
You make one call, I come see the job, and you get the work in writing before anything starts, so you always know what's next and who to ask.
Call or send a message
Call (254) 327-1950 or use the form and tell us what you're seeing, whether it's cracked joints, a leak or a project you've had in mind.
I look and write it up
I come out, look at the job, ask what you want done and give you a written estimate that spells out the work.
Permit, prep and the work
Once you say go, we line up materials and any permit the city's Building Department asks for, plus its inspections. Then we prep the site and do the work.
We walk it together
When we're done, we walk the job with you so you can look over every joint and wall before we call it finished.
What Bellmead asks of masonrythrough freezes, leaks and age
Hard freezes, tired mortar and leaky chimneys are behind most of the masonry work we see around Bellmead.
Ice and hard freezes
January's storm brought ice and record cold, and water that freezes in cracked joints pushes them wider, so we check those first.
Worn joints on older brick
Mortar wears out long before brick does, so on older houses we grind out the soft joints and refill them to match.
Chimneys that let water in
A ceiling stain by the fireplace usually means water's getting in at the chimney cap or joints, so we find which one first.
