What You Get With Proper Masonry

Your property deserves stonework that handles whatever New England throws at it. When masonry is done right, you stop worrying about cracking foundations, water damage, and costly repairs down the road.

You get structures that actually improve your property value instead of becoming expensive problems. Retaining walls that hold. Chimneys that don’t leak. Walkways that don’t shift or crack after the first hard freeze.

The difference isn’t just in how it looks today. It’s in how it performs five, ten, twenty years from now when other contractors’ work is already failing.

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your property and discuss exactly what you need. No generic estimates – we look at your specific situation, soil conditions, and any challenges unique to your site.

Next, we provide a detailed proposal that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start, including how we’ll protect your existing landscaping and property.

During construction, we handle permits, coordinate material deliveries, and keep you informed about progress. We clean up daily and make sure your property is secure. When we’re finished, you get a walkthrough and warranty information for the completed work.

Timeline depends on the scope and weather conditions, but most residential projects take between 3-10 days. Small repairs might be completed in a day, while larger installations like retaining walls or extensive stonework can take 1-2 weeks. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if weather or unforeseen conditions affect the schedule. The key is not rushing quality work – proper curing time and attention to detail matter more than speed when it comes to masonry that will last decades.
The difference shows up in the foundation preparation, material quality, and long-term performance. Cheaper contractors often skip proper excavation, use inadequate base materials, or rush the installation process. We take time to prepare proper foundations, ensure adequate drainage, and use materials rated for New England freeze-thaw cycles. You’re not just paying for the visible stonework – you’re investing in the structural work underneath that prevents expensive failures later. Our approach costs more upfront but saves money over the life of the installation.
Yes, we handle permit applications and coordinate required inspections for projects that need them. Most decorative stonework doesn’t require permits, but retaining walls over certain heights, foundation work, and structural repairs typically do. We know Concord’s requirements and work with local building officials regularly. This takes the administrative burden off you and ensures the work meets all local codes. We’ll let you know upfront if permits are needed and factor that timeline into the project schedule.
We use protective barriers, plywood walkways, and careful equipment placement to minimize impact on your existing landscaping. Before starting, we identify sensitive areas like established plantings, irrigation systems, and delicate surfaces that need protection. Heavy equipment access is planned to avoid unnecessary damage to lawns and garden beds. We also coordinate material deliveries to minimize disruption and clean up debris daily. While some temporary disturbance is unavoidable with construction, we take steps to preserve your property’s existing features whenever possible.
We provide written warranties that cover both materials and workmanship, with terms varying based on the type of work performed. Structural work like retaining walls and foundation repairs typically carry longer warranty periods than decorative installations. The warranty covers defects in our workmanship and installation methods, but doesn’t cover damage from ground movement, tree roots, or other external factors beyond our control. We stand behind our work and will address any issues that arise from improper installation or material defects during the warranty period.
Yes, matching existing stonework is something we do regularly, especially with Concord’s many historic properties. We source materials from suppliers who carry traditional New England stone varieties and can often find close matches for color, texture, and size. For repairs, we sometimes salvage usable stone from damaged sections to ensure perfect matches. While exact matches aren’t always possible with natural materials, we have the experience to blend new work seamlessly with existing stonework. We’ll show you material samples before ordering to ensure you’re satisfied with the match.
