Masonry work in McGregorfrom a mason based in Waco
We come out to McGregor for the calls we get all over the county. Most are brick joints worn down to sand, chimneys that leak in a hard rain and yard projects that keep getting pushed back. It's the same work we do in Woodway and Marlin.
Price turns on how much brick or stone is involved, how far the damage runs and how easy the spot is to reach. Timing turns on weather, materials and any permit, and your written estimate spells it all out.
Call (254) 327-1950 or use the form to ask for an estimate, and I'll come out to McGregor to look myself.
Our services in McGregorfor old brick and new yards
Everything we do in Waco, we do in McGregor, and here's how each service fits the houses and yards we see here.
- Foundation repair Cracked brick over a sinking corner usually starts below the wall, so we check the foundation first.
- Chimney repair A stain on the ceiling after rain usually traces back to a cracked chimney crown or open joints up top.
- Tuckpointing Soft, sandy joints on older brick get ground out and refilled with mortar matched to the old color.
- Brick repair Spalled or cracked bricks come out one at a time and go back in with brick that matches the house.
- Driveway pavers Paver driveways set on a packed base and edged tight, so they hold their line when cars turn on them.
- Retaining wall construction A sloped yard that washes out needs a wall with drainage behind it, not a stack of loose block.
- Masonry restoration Older brick and stone fronts cleaned, repointed and patched where the old work has given out.
- Fireplace installation New brick or stone fireplaces built to the clearances the maker of your firebox or insert calls for.
- Stone veneer installation Stone veneer on a front wall or column, laid so it reads like real stone up close.
- Concrete block walls Block walls for property lines, planters and backyard privacy, filled and capped to stand up to weather.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls for additions and outbuildings, laid level and square so the framing sits right.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry I spent years cooking on restaurant lines, so we lay out outdoor kitchens around how you actually cook.
- Walkway construction Brick, stone or paver walkways from the drive to the door, sloped so rain runs off instead of pooling.
- Brick wall installation Garden and screen walls in a brick that sits right next to your house instead of fighting it.
- Stone masonry Stone walls, steps and columns laid by hand, with stone picked to suit the yard around them.
- Brick pointing Short runs of cracked joints on steps, sills and planters get pointed before water works in behind them.
Why McGregor calls usstraight answers, clean sites
You deal with me from the first look to the final walkthrough. I'll tell you what your brick needs and what it doesn't, and we clean up before we go.
I look at every job myself
I come out, walk the job with you and write the estimate, then I'm on site running the work alongside our masons and helpers.
Told when it doesn't need work
If your wall only needs a few joints pointed, I'll say so, because I'd rather lose the sale than sell you work it doesn't need.
Done right the first time
In a kitchen, a plate that goes out wrong comes right back. I've been holding brick and stone to that same standard since 2021.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured on every job we take. Your satisfaction, guaranteed, so if something looks off at the walkthrough, tell me.
Your yard left clean
We sweep up mortar dust and haul off broken brick and leftover material, so the only change you see is the finished work.
How a job runsfrom your call to the walkthrough
We keep it simple. You reach us, I come look and put the job in writing, and nothing starts until you say go.
You call or write
Call (254) 327-1950 or send the form and tell us what you're seeing, and we'll set a time for me to come out to McGregor.
I look and write it up
I walk the job with you, ask what you want and give you a written estimate that covers the work and anything I'd leave alone.
Permits, materials, then work
Once you say go, we check with the city's Community Development department and pull any permit the job needs, then line up materials, prep the site and build.
We walk it together
When the work's done, we walk it with you point by point, line up any inspection the permit calls for and clean up before we leave.
What McGregor asks of masonryand how we handle it
These are the conditions we run into on jobs around McGregor and what we do about each one.
Older brick, worn joints
Mortar on older brick wears out before the brick does, so we repoint with a mix soft enough not to crack the old faces.
Hard rain, fast water
Southwestern McLennan County has been under flash flood warnings, and fast runoff undercuts walls and walks, so we set them on packed bases with drainage.
New work next to old
A new wall, walkway or veneer should look like it was always part of the house, so we pick brick and stone with yours in view.

Our work around McGregorbrick homes, older buildings, backyards
Around McGregor we see brick houses with joints worn soft, chimneys that let water in and yards waiting on a wall or walkway. Downtown keeps its historic buildings in use, like the old hardware store that now holds the Texas Museum of Theatre and Broadcast, and that's the kind of older work we're careful around.
The city keeps a solicitor's license for anyone selling door to door, so it's fair to ask a crew that knocks whether they hold one. Our jobs here start when you call and I come out to look.
Other cities we work in
If your city has its own page, you'll find it here. If it doesn't, call (254) 327-1950 and ask, because we work in more cities around Waco than these.
