We drive up from Waco for Hillsboro jobs, and most calls are worn mortar joints, a leaky chimney or a wall, walkway or outdoor kitchen someone's been putting off.
Price turns on the size of the job, the brick or stone we have to match and how far the damage goes. Timing turns on materials and the permit, since the City of Hillsboro issues permits for all types of residential construction. Your estimate puts the job in writing.

What we build in Hillsboroand the brick and stone we fix
Here's the masonry we do for Hillsboro homes, from mortar joints and chimneys to walls, walkways and outdoor kitchens.
- Foundation repair Cracks in brick above a door or window often start at the foundation, so we check below before patching above.
- Chimney repair A chimney leaking into the attic usually has a cracked crown or worn joints, and we fix the cause.
- Tuckpointing On older brick homes, we grind out worn joints and lay in fresh mortar matched to the old.
- Brick repair Spalled or cracked bricks get cut out and replaced with ones close to your house's color and size.
- Driveway pavers A paver driveway on a packed base lets us reset one section later instead of tearing out the whole thing.
- Retaining wall construction Sloped yards get walls with drainage built in behind them, so water doesn't push them over.
- Masonry restoration When older brick or stone is tired all over, we clean, repoint and repair it so it looks like itself again.
- Fireplace installation A new brick or stone fireplace, sized for the room and built to the firebox maker's instructions.
- Stone veneer installation Stone veneer dresses up a plain front, skirting or column without the weight of full stone.
- Concrete block walls Block walls for property lines, shops and backyards, set on a proper footing and kept plumb.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls for additions and outbuildings, laid level so whatever goes on top sits right.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Brick or stone grill islands and outdoor kitchens, laid out by a former line cook who knows a working station.
- Walkway construction Brick, stone or paver walkways from the driveway to the door, laid so they drain and don't trip you.
- Brick wall installation Garden walls, screen walls and mailbox columns in brick that matches your house.
- Stone masonry Fieldstone and cut stone for walls, steps and borders that look like they grew out of the yard.
- Brick pointing Short runs of cracked or missing mortar fixed before water gets behind the brick and the repair grows.
Why Hillsboro calls usfor brick, stone and mortar
You deal with me from the first look to the final walk, and our crew of masons and helpers does the work. We're licensed and fully insured.
I write every estimate myself
I come out, walk the job with you and put the work in writing, so the person who quotes it is the person who runs it.
A straight answer if it can wait
If a wall or chimney doesn't need work yet, I'll tell you so, because I'd rather lose the job than sell you something it doesn't need.
Right the first time
In a kitchen, a plate that goes out wrong comes right back, and I bring that habit to every course of brick we lay. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
Mortar matched to older brick
Mortar repair on older brick is what we're best known for, and we match the new joints to the old in color and texture.

What Hillsboro jobs ask of usrules, old brick and low ground
A few things come up on Hillsboro jobs that change how we plan the work, starting with the city's own rules.
Older brick, worn joints
Older brick usually gives out at the mortar first, so we cut out the soft joints and repoint before water gets behind the face.
Pools and outbuildings
Hillsboro says to plan on a city permit for a pool or accessory building, so we check with the city's building office before building the masonry for one.
City contractor registration
Hillsboro registers contractors through the same office that handles permits, and we check what the city asks of us before we start.
Flood risk on low lots
FEMA calls a 1% or higher yearly flood chance high risk, so on low ground we plan walls and footings around drainage.
