Brick and stone in Hewittbuilt by a Waco crew
Our Hewitt calls sound a lot like the ones from Woodway and Robinson: worn mortar on a brick house, a chimney that leaks, or a wall or walkway someone has put off for a while. We take the same work farther out to McGregor.
Permits in Hewitt go through the city's Building Department, which reviews each application and then inspects the work. Its list names flatwork and fences among others and says it may not be complete, so we check with the department before we start, and that review usually sets your start date.
Price turns on size, materials and access, so call (254) 327-1950 and I'll put your figure in writing.
Masonry services for Hewittfrom mortar to outdoor kitchens
We do the full list in Hewitt, from small repairs on a brick house to new walls and outdoor work in the backyard.
- Foundation repair When a brick wall cracks in a stair-step line, we check the foundation under it before patching anything.
- Chimney repair A chimney that leaks into the ceiling usually has a cracked crown or open joints, and we fix both.
- Tuckpointing Worn joints on a brick house get ground out and refilled with mortar matched to the color already there.
- Brick repair Cracked, flaking or loose bricks come out and get replaced with brick that matches the rest of the wall.
- Driveway pavers Paver driveways laid on a packed base, so a sunken spot can be lifted and reset instead of torn out.
- Retaining wall construction Sloped yards get a retaining wall with drainage behind it, so water doesn't push the wall out.
- Masonry restoration Older brick and stone cleaned, repointed and repaired so the wall looks like itself again, not a patch job.
- Fireplace installation A new brick or stone fireplace, built to suit the room and lined up with the chimney above it.
- Stone veneer installation Thin stone on a front wall, column or fireplace surround, set over a proper backing so it stays put.
- Concrete block walls Block walls for property lines, planters or shop buildings, built straight and filled where the wall needs strength.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls laid on a sound footing for additions, garages and outbuildings.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Outdoor kitchens in brick, block or stone, built around your grill and counters and finished to match the house.
- Walkway construction Walkways from the drive to the front door or out to the back gate, in concrete, brick or stone.
- Brick wall installation Brick garden walls and fences that look like they came with the house, from the footing up to the cap.
- Stone masonry Stone walls, steps and borders laid by hand, each piece picked and fit so the joints stay tight.
- Brick pointing If your joints are cracked or sandy to the touch, we repoint them before water gets behind the brick.
Why Hewitt hires uswith the owner on site
I came to masonry from restaurant kitchens and started this business in 2021. You deal with me from the first look at the job to the final walkthrough.
The owner at every estimate
I come out to every job myself, look it over with you and write the estimate. Then I'm on site running the work with our masons and helpers.
A straight answer on repairs
If your wall or chimney doesn't need work yet, I'll tell you so. I'd rather lose the job than sell you a repair your house doesn't need.
Done right, left clean
In a kitchen, a plate that goes out wrong comes right back. We work brick and stone the same way, and we clean up your yard and drive before we go.
Mortar work that matches
Mortar repair on older brick is what we're known for. We match the color and the shape of the joint to what's there, so the fix doesn't stand out.
Licensed, insured, guaranteed
We're licensed and fully insured on every job we take, and our promise to you is short and plain. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
From call to walkthroughhow a Hewitt job runs
A job runs in four steps, and you deal with me at each one. Nothing starts until you've seen the work in writing and told us to go.
Call or send a message
Call (254) 327-1950 or use the form, and tell us what's going on, whether it's a cracked joint, a leak or a yard project.
I look and write it up
I come out, ask what you want and write up the estimate. If the job needs a permit, I'll say so, since Hewitt's review can take up to 10 business days.
We prep and build
Once you say go, we line up materials, pull any permit and call in inspections a day ahead. We work between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., the hours Hewitt sets for building near homes.
Walk it together
When the work's done, we clean up and walk the job with you, so you can point out anything that doesn't look right before we leave.
What Hewitt homes needfrom their brick and stone
Most of the Hewitt calls we get fall into a few kinds, and each one tells us where to look first.
Joints wearing thin
Mortar wears faster than brick, so sandy or open joints start letting water in, and we repoint them before the brick takes the damage.
Water around the chimney
A stain on the ceiling near a chimney usually traces back to a cracked crown or open joints up top, which we repair first.
Patches that don't match
Earlier repairs in the wrong mortar color stand out on a brick wall, so we grind them out and blend them with what's around them.
Yard projects on hold
A wall, walkway or outdoor kitchen that's been waiting usually needs a plan for slope and drainage, which we work out at the estimate.

Our work in Hewitta short drive south of Waco
Hewitt is the second largest city in McLennan County, about eight miles south of Waco, so getting our crew and a load of brick there is an easy run. Much of what we see is brick-front houses, chimneys due for attention and backyards waiting on a wall or a walkway.
