Masonry work for Kent homes
In Kent, we repoint tired brick, rebuild chimneys, repair cracked block and build new walls, walkways and outdoor kitchens. Price usually turns on how much is damaged, how hard the brick is to match and how tough the spot is to reach, while the schedule hangs on weather and any permit. I'll walk you through it on site, and your written estimate spells out what's included.
We're based in Tacoma and work across Pierce County and south King County, so Kent sits right in the area we cover, along with Fife and Auburn. If your house is near the Green River, the city posts flood information and FEMA elevation certificates for those homes, which is worth a look before we plan a wall. You can also check whether your address is inside Kent city limits.
What we do for Kent homeowners
Get a quoteFoundation repair
When a crack in your foundation keeps widening or a wall starts to lean, we find out what's moving it and repair the masonry so it settles down.
Chimney repair
Loose bricks, or a cracked crown, the concrete slab on top. We rebuild the damaged courses and reset the top so water stays out of the flue.
Tuckpointing
We grind out worn mortar joints and pack in fresh mortar matched to your brick's color, which keeps water out and makes an old wall look sharp again.
Brick repair
If a few bricks have cracked, come loose or started flaking off, we cut them out and set matching ones, so the repair doesn't stand out.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway on a packed gravel base, laid in the pattern you pick. Single pavers lift out for repair later, which a cracked slab can't offer.
Retaining wall construction
Where a slope pushes toward your yard or house, we build block or stone walls with drainage behind them, because trapped water is what usually tips a wall.
Masonry restoration
For older brick and stone that's been patched over the years, we clean, repoint and repair it so the whole wall looks like it belongs together.
Fireplace installation
We build masonry fireplaces and surrounds from the firebox out, in brick or stone, sized to the room and finished to match the rest of your house.
Stone veneer installation
Thin natural or manufactured stone set over a wall, foundation skirt or fireplace, with the backing and weather barrier done right so moisture can't collect behind it.
Concrete block walls
Block walls for garden beds, privacy or a garage, built on a proper footing with steel and grout wherever the wall needs the extra strength.
Foundation block wall installation
When you're adding on or replacing a failed foundation, we lay new block foundation walls on footings, reinforced and ready for the framing crew.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
The brick, block or stone base for a grill, counter and sink out back, built to carry the weight and shrug off a rainy season.
Walkway construction
A path from the driveway to the door or out to the yard, in pavers, brick or stone, set level and sloped so puddles don't sit.
Brick wall installation
New brick walls for a garden, an entry or a property edge, laid true on a solid footing, with a cap that sheds water off the top.
Stone masonry
Natural stone walls, steps and accents laid by hand. It takes longer than block, but nothing else looks quite like it once it weathers in.
Brick pointing
If only a few joints have cracked or gone sandy, we repoint just those spots instead of the whole wall, matched so they blend in.
