Masonry work in Lacy Lakeviewfrom our Waco crew next door
Most calls we get from Lacy Lakeview are about brick that's earned its age: joints going sandy, a chimney letting water in, a step or wall that's started to lean. We're based in Waco, right next door, and we work here the same way we do in Bellmead and Woodway.
Price turns on how much old mortar or brick comes out, how big a new wall or walk runs and whether brick or stone has to be matched. Weather and any permit set the schedule, and I put your job in writing on site.
Call (254) 327-1950 or send us the form, and I'll come out, look at it and write you an estimate.
What we do in Lacy Lakeviewfor brick homes and backyards
Here's the full list of what we do for Lacy Lakeview homes, from mortar repair on older brick to new walls and outdoor kitchens.
- Foundation repair When a brick wall shows a stair-step crack, we look at what's under it before touching the face.
- Chimney repair Leaky chimneys here usually trace back to a cracked crown or open joints, so we fix the source.
- Tuckpointing Cutting out sandy joints on older brick homes and packing in mortar that matches the color.
- Brick repair Spalled or cracked brick gets cut out and replaced with a close match, not patched over.
- Driveway pavers Paver drives laid on a packed base so they stay flat through wet springs and dry summers.
- Retaining wall construction For yards that slope toward the house, a wall with drainage behind it so water can't push it over.
- Masonry restoration Bringing back tired brick and stone on older houses without losing the look that makes them fit.
- Fireplace installation A new brick or stone fireplace, inside or out back, built to match the rest of your house.
- Stone veneer installation Stone veneer on porches, columns and plain walls, set so water drains out instead of sitting behind it.
- Concrete block walls Block walls for property lines and backyards, footed, reinforced and capped to shed rain.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls for additions and outbuildings, laid level so everything built above starts true.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Brick or stone outdoor kitchens built for long, hot summers out back with the grill going.
- Walkway construction Brick, stone or paver walks from the drive to the door, set so they don't heave or puddle.
- Brick wall installation New brick walls and planters laid to match the brick that's already on your house.
- Stone masonry Stone steps, columns and walls built course by course for houses that want a heavier look.
- Brick pointing When only a few runs of joints have gone bad, we point those and leave the sound ones alone.
Why Lacy Lakeview calls usstraight answers, then careful work
I look at your job myself, tell you plainly what it needs and what it doesn't, then run the work with our crew until it's done right.
The owner writes every estimate
I come out to every job myself, walk it with you and put the work in writing, so the person pricing it is the one on site.
Told when it doesn't need work
If a wall or chimney is sound, I'll say so and leave it alone. I'd rather lose the job than sell you mortar you don't need.
Walls that look like they belong
We pick brick, stone and joint color to suit your house and yard, so a new wall or walk looks like it was always there.
Licensed, insured and on site
We're licensed and fully insured, and I run the work alongside our masons and helpers, so you always know who's in your yard.
Right the first time, then clean
I learned in restaurant kitchens that a wrong plate comes right back, so we check the work before you see it and clean up before we go. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
From first call to walkthroughwith the owner on every step
You deal with me from the first look to the last walk around, and everything we agreed on is in writing before a single joint gets cut.
Call or send a message
Call us or fill in the form with what you're seeing, like cracked joints or a damp chimney, and we'll get back to you to set a time.
I look and write it up
I come out, look at the job, ask what you want and leave you a written estimate that spells out what we'll do.
We prep and do the work
Once you say go, we line up materials and any permit, checking with the city's Building Inspection and Permits department for your address, then prep the site and get to work.
We walk it with you
When it's done, we walk the job together so you can look over every joint and corner. The yard's cleaned up before we leave.
What Lacy Lakeview weather asksof brick, stone and mortar
The weather around Waco is hard on brick and mortar, and these are the conditions we plan around on Lacy Lakeview jobs.
Freezes that open cracks
The Waco area averages 34 freezes a season, and water freezing in cracked joints pries them wider, so we repoint before the damage spreads.
Summer heat on fresh mortar
With about 24 days a year that hit 100 degrees, mortar can dry before it cures, so we start early and keep fresh work damp.
Rain that finds every gap
About 36 inches of rain a year soaks cracked chimney crowns and the ground behind walls, so we rebuild crowns and build drainage in.
Older brick needs softer mortar
Hard modern mortar on older, softer brick makes the brick crack instead of the joint, so we match the mortar to the brick.

Working on Lacy Lakeview homesthe same way we work Waco
Lacy Lakeview jobs are mostly homes: brick houses with joints that have taken years of sun, chimneys that have started to leak, and backyards owners want to finally use. We give a small repointing job the same care and the same cleanup as a new outdoor kitchen.
The city keeps its own contractor registration for general contractors and several trades, free and renewed every year with a copy of license, insurance and photo ID. Rules like that are why we treat each city on its own instead of running every job the same way.
We work beyond these cities too
If your city has its own page here, you'll find it below. If it doesn't, call (254) 327-1950 and ask, since we work in other cities around Waco too.
