Brick and stone restoration in River Oaks

River Oaks has some of Houston’s oldest and largest homes, many from the 1920s through the 1940s, with original brick, cut stone, tall chimneys, and brick garden and courtyard walls.

Restoration here means matching what’s there: mortar mixed on site to match the original, brick and stone sourced to match, and chimneys and walls rebuilt to their original look.

River Oaks notes

What to know before a masonry project in River Oaks

Deed restrictions

River Oaks has deed restrictions that can apply to exterior changes. Matching restoration is usually simplest; we help with photos and details when a review is needed.

Matching original materials

Original brick is often no longer made. We source matching or close-matching brick and stone and mix mortar on site to match.

Care on large properties

We protect landscaping, drives, and pools, set up clean staging areas, and clean up every day.

Questions

River Oaks questions

Can you match brick that isn’t made anymore?

Often, yes. We source reclaimed or close-matching brick, and staining can blend replacement brick into the original.

Do you rebuild tall chimneys?

Yes. We restore or rebuild chimney tops, crowns, and caps, working from scaffolding or lifts as needed.
