A Tacoma masonry contractor working in Lakewood
We're based in Tacoma and work in Lakewood the same as in University Place, Parkland and Auburn, mostly fixing older brick, chimneys and walls and building projects out back. Price turns on the job's size, the material and how much old work comes out, and the schedule mostly on permits. Your written estimate spells out what's included.
Lakewood's Planning and Public Works Department issues city building permits, and if your lot runs along a lake shore or a critical area, the city wants a permit for a wall or new paving of any size inside the protected buffer around it. Sewer, water, electrical and fire permits go through other agencies. We check with the office that covers your address and handle the paperwork for our part.
Masonry services we offer in Lakewood
Get a quoteFoundation repair
Cracks that keep widening, a sticking door or a damp corner can point to foundation trouble, and we repair block and concrete foundations once we know the cause.
Chimney repair
We rebuild cracked caps, repoint crumbling joints and reset brick above the roofline, because that's where water gets in first and where a chimney starts to lean.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing fills worn joints with mortar colored to match the brick, then adds a thin line in a contrasting color, the look many older brick fronts started with.
Brick repair
Got brick with flaking faces, cracks or loose ones on the steps? We cut out the bad ones and set in the closest match we can find.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway holds up when the base is dug deep and packed hard, so that's where we spend most of our time before a paver goes down.
Retaining wall construction
If a slope is creeping onto your lawn, we build block or stone retaining walls with drainage behind them, since trapped water is what pushes most walls over.
Masonry restoration
For an older brick or stone house that's tired all over, restoration means cleaning, repointing and repairing in one plan so the old work still looks like itself.
Fireplace installation
We build masonry fireplaces and surrounds from the firebox out, and we'll talk through fuel, size and the look you want before we lay any brick.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer is a thin layer of real or manufactured stone over a wall, and the water barrier and drainage gap behind it matter more than the stone itself.
Concrete block walls
Need a garden wall or privacy screen? We lay concrete block walls on a proper footing, with steel and grout where the wall calls for it.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition, a garage or a crawlspace that needs new walls, we set the footing and build the foundation block wall that the framing sits on.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build the block or stone base for an outdoor kitchen, with counters, a grill surround and room for the gas or power lines your other trades run.
Walkway construction
A walkway that heaves or puddles usually has a thin base or no slope, so we dig out, pack a solid base and pitch it to shed water.
Brick wall installation
We build new brick walls, low or tall, with brick and mortar picked so the wall looks like it's always belonged to your house.
Stone masonry
We fit natural stone by hand for steps, walls, columns and patios. It's slower than block, but on the right house nothing else looks as settled.
Brick pointing
When mortar joints go sandy or start falling out, we grind out the old mortar and pack in new that matches what's there in color and strength.

Why Lakewood homeowners hire us

Licensed, insured, easy to check
We're fully licensed and insured. The state wants every contractor registered with Labor & Industries, and Lakewood wants a city license from businesses based elsewhere, so ask any mason about both.
Honest about what can wait
We're best known for careful repair on older brick, and if a worn joint can hold a while yet, I'll tell you so when you call (253) 354-0045.
