Brick and masonry repair in Houston, TX
Houston sits on expansive clay that swells when it rains and shrinks in a drought. Brick is rigid, so when the ground moves, the masonry cracks: stair-step cracks at corners, gaps at windows and garage openings, and mailboxes and columns that lean.
We are a family-owned masonry company based in west Houston, with our own crews. We repair and rebuild brick, stone, block, pavers, and concrete across the city, from older homes inside the Loop to newer neighborhoods on the edges.

Houston notes
What to know before a masonry project in Houston
City permits for structural work
Rebuilding walls, lintels, and structural masonry inside city limits can need a City of Houston permit. We tell you up front when a job needs one and coordinate it.
Historic districts need approval first
In Houston’s historic districts, exterior changes visible from the street can need approval before work starts. Matching repairs are usually simplest; finishes and new work take longer to approve.
Heavy rain and hurricane season
We inspect chimney crowns, mortar joints, and lintels, then explain the masonry repairs and sealing appropriate for your property.

Questions
Houston questions
Do you work everywhere in Houston?
Yes. We work across the city and the surrounding suburbs. Send your address or ZIP code and we’ll confirm.
Why does brick crack in Houston?
Mostly soil movement. Houston’s clay shrinks and swells with moisture, and rigid brick cracks when the ground under it moves. Rusting steel lintels and aging mortar add to it. We find the cause before we quote the repair.
Can you match my existing brick and mortar?
In most cases, yes. We custom-match mortar color and texture on site, and we source matching or close-matching brick, including discontinued brick, when a section has to be replaced.
