Brick and stone work for Marlinhandled by a Waco crew
In Marlin, the calls are the ones we get across our area: worn mortar on older brick, a chimney letting water in, or a wall, walkway or outdoor kitchen someone has put off. We drive down from Waco for them, the same as we head out to Robinson or Temple.
Price moves with how much brick or stone the job takes, how much old mortar comes out and how hard the spot is to reach. Timing turns on materials and any city permit, and your written estimate spells out your own job.

Why Marlin hires usfor brick and stone work
I come out to every job myself, tell you straight what it needs, and run the work beside our crew until it's done and cleaned up.
The owner writes every estimate
The person who looks at your wall is the one who prices it and runs the crew, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the work.
Told straight when it can wait
If your brick doesn't need work, I'll say so, because I'd rather lose a job than sell you something the wall doesn't need.
Right the first time
Years on restaurant lines taught me a plate that goes out wrong comes right back, so we check joints, lines and levels before we call it done.
Repairs that match the house
We're known for mortar repair on older brick and for walls and walkways that look like they've always been there, not like a patch.
A clean yard when we leave
We pick up mortar droppings, brick chips and leftover material at the end of the job, so your place looks like yours again.
From first call to walkthroughwith the owner on site
You make one call or send one form, I come out and put the job in writing, and you know what you're getting before anyone mixes mortar.
Call or send the form
Call (254) 327-1950 or send the form with what you're seeing, whether it's a worn joint, a leaking chimney or the wall you want built.
I look and write it up
I come out to your house in Marlin, look the job over, ask what you want and hand you a written estimate.
Prep and the work
Once you say go, we line up materials, any permit the city needs and its inspections, prep the site, and I run the work alongside our masons and helpers.
Walk it together
When the work is done, we walk it with you so you can see every joint and edge, then clean up the site before we pack out.
What Marlin jobs call forbeyond the brick itself
A few things come up on Marlin jobs that shape how we plan the work and what you should ask any mason.
Permits cover repairs here
City guidance calls for a permit on repairs and alterations, driveways and curbs included, so we check with the city's Permit Department first.
Starting early can bring a fine
The city can fine work begun before the permit is issued, which is why we have the permit lined up before we start.
Contractors register with the city
Marlin requires contractors to register with the city and provide a certificate of insurance, so ask any mason you're weighing for theirs.
Worn mortar on older brick
On older brick the joints usually wear out before the bricks do, so we match the old mortar's color and hardness when we repoint.
A free estimate in Marlinwritten up by the owner
Tell us your address in Marlin and what you're seeing, a worn joint, a leak or a project, and we'll reply within one business day. I come out myself, the estimate is free and written, and there's no obligation.
Working in Marlin from Wacosame owner, same crew
Marlin sits where highways 6 and 7 cross, east of the Brazos River, an easy drive down from Waco, so we take jobs here the same as we do closer to home. I'm the one who comes out to look, and I'm on site while the crew works.
From the blocks around Heritage Row downtown to houses across the rest of the city, the work is familiar. Brick that needs repointing, a chimney that leaks, a yard project that's waited long enough. The permit rules here are the city's own, so we check them for your address before we start.
