Brick, stone and block work in Auburn
We're based in Tacoma and work the cities around it, Auburn among them, along with South Hill and Kent. Price turns on the size of the job, how much has failed and how easy it is to reach. Timing turns on materials and whether a permit's needed, and your written estimate spells out what's included.
First, check your address on the city's interactive map, because some Auburn addresses actually fall under King County, Kent or Federal Way, and that decides whose rules apply. Near the Green River, White River, Mullen Slough or Mill Creek, digging or building a wall can fall under the city's flood and critical area rules, so we check that before anyone picks up a shovel.
What we fix and build in Auburn
Get a quoteFoundation repair
When a foundation crack keeps widening or a corner has settled, we find what moved before we repair anything, because a patch over moving ground cracks again.
Chimney repair
Loose bricks or water stains by the fireplace usually mean the chimney needs work, from repointing to rebuilding the crown, the concrete cap on top.
Tuckpointing
We rake out worn mortar and pack the joints with new mortar tinted to match, so water stays out of the wall and the repair blends in.
Brick repair
If a few bricks have cracked, flaked or come loose, we cut them out and set replacements matched to the size and color around them.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway is only as good as its base, so we dig out, pack gravel in layers and lock the edges before a paver goes down.
Retaining wall construction
Where a slope is pushing into your yard, we build block or stone retaining walls with drainage behind them, since trapped water is usually what tips a wall.
Masonry restoration
For an older brick or stone house worn all over, we work wall by wall, cleaning, repointing and repairing so it looks like it belongs.
Fireplace installation
We build masonry fireplaces from the footing up, laying out the firebox, hearth and surround to fit the room before any brick or stone goes in.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer gives a wall the look of solid stone, and how it holds up depends on the water barrier and mesh we put behind it.
Concrete block walls
Need a garden wall, privacy wall or planter base? We lay concrete block on a solid footing, with steel and grout where the height needs it.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition, garage or crawl space, we lay the block foundation walls the framing sits on, checked for square and level as we go.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Out back, we build the brick, block or stone base for a grill, counter or pizza oven, planning where gas, power and water will run first.
Walkway construction
A walkway that heaves or puddles usually has a thin base, so we build brick, paver and stone paths over packed gravel with a slight slope.
Brick wall installation
New brick walls for a garden, entry or property line, laid on a solid footing, with the brick pattern and mortar color picked to suit your house.
Stone masonry
Natural stone for walls, steps and borders, fit by hand so the joints stay tight and each stone carries its share of the weight.
Brick pointing
If the mortar between your bricks is sandy, cracked or missing, we fill those joints with fresh mortar before water gets in and starts on the brick.
