Masonry work for Federal Way homes
As a masonry contractor in Tacoma, WA, we're best known for careful repair on older brick, chimneys and walls, plus the projects out back folks want done right. Federal Way sits inside the area we cover across Pierce County and south King County, the same as Kent and Auburn.
The City of Federal Way's Building Division issues permits for nearly every improvement on a lot, and any work in a wetland, a stream, a landslide hazard area or the buffer around one needs a permit. So we check with the city early, and if your job needs one, we handle the paperwork for our part and keep you posted along the way.
What we build and fix in Federal Way
Get a quoteFoundation repair
When a foundation crack keeps widening or a corner has dropped, we find what's moving it, then repair the concrete or block so the wall holds.
Chimney repair
Loose brick, a cracked cap or mortar washing out near the roofline means water's getting in, so we rebuild what's failed and match the old brick.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing means raking out worn joints, filling them with mortar colored to the brick and adding a thin ridge line, which gives older brick crisp joints again.
Brick repair
If bricks are cracking, flaking at the face or working loose, we cut them out, fix what let water in and set replacements matched to your old brick.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway sits on a packed gravel base, and that base decides whether it stays flat, so we dig and compact it before a paver goes down.
Retaining wall construction
Where a slope crowds the yard or washes onto the lawn, a retaining wall holds it back, and the drainage behind it matters as much as the block.
Masonry restoration
For an older brick or stone house that's worn all over, we clean, repoint and repair it in stages, keeping the original look instead of covering it up.
Fireplace installation
We build masonry fireplaces and surrounds in brick or stone, from the firebox out to the hearth. Planning the flue and chimney comes first, before anything gets built.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer is a thin facing of real or manufactured stone, good on a fireplace or a lower house wall, and the backing behind it keeps water out.
Concrete block walls
Block walls suit privacy walls, garden walls and outbuilding bases. We set them on a proper footing and fill and reinforce the hollow cores where the wall needs strength.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition, a garage or a crawlspace, we lay block foundation walls on the footing, level and square, so whatever goes on top starts out straight.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
The brick, block or stone base for a grill, counter or pizza oven, built to handle heat and rain. You pick the finish, and we build what's underneath.
Walkway construction
Brick, pavers, flagstone or poured concrete, we build walkways to the door, the drive or the back gate, sloped slightly so water runs off instead of pooling.
Brick wall installation
New brick walls, from a low garden wall to a column-and-panel front wall, laid on a solid footing with brick and joints chosen to suit your house.
Stone masonry
Natural stone laid by hand for walls, steps and columns. Each piece gets shaped and fitted, so it's slower than block, and worth it where stone shows.
Brick pointing
When mortar joints turn sandy or sink back from the brick, we rake them out and refill with mortar suited to your brick, before water gets in behind.
