Masonry work for Parkland homeowners
We're a masonry contractor in Tacoma, WA, working across Pierce County and south King County, Parkland included, along with University Place, Lakewood and South Hill. Price and schedule usually turn on how much brick, block or stone the job takes, how hard the spot is to reach and whether a permit comes first, and your written estimate spells out what's included.
Parkland grew up around Pacific Lutheran University, but it isn't its own city. It's unincorporated Pierce County, so building permits go through the county's Development Center. A driveway or walk close to the ground is on the county's exempt list, but that list doesn't cover everything we build, so we check with the county for your address, handle the paperwork for our part and keep you posted.
What we build and repair in Parkland
Get a quoteFoundation repair
Stair-step cracks, a bowing wall or loose mortar in a block foundation usually mean something's pushing on it, so we find that before we fix the masonry.
Chimney repair
Loose bricks or a cracked crown, the cap on top, let water into a chimney. We rebuild what's failed above the roof and repoint the rest.
Tuckpointing
If a key scratches mortar out of the joints, it's time. We grind out the worn mortar and pack in new, matched to your brick.
Brick repair
Bricks with cracks or faces flaking off get cut out and replaced one at a time, using salvaged or matched brick so the patch doesn't jump out.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway is only as good as the base under it. We dig out, compact gravel in layers and set edging so the pavers stay put.
Retaining wall construction
Where a slope keeps sliding onto the lawn, we build block or stone walls with drainage behind them, since trapped water is what tips walls over.
Masonry restoration
Older brick and stone that's been patched over the years gets cleaned gently, repaired and repointed so the whole wall reads as one again.
Fireplace installation
Adding a brick or stone fireplace, or rebuilding a tired one? We lay the hearth, firebox and face, and fit the design to the room and chimney.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer, thin stone set over a wall, dresses up a foundation, column or fireplace. We install it with the right backing and flashing so water drains out.
Concrete block walls
Block walls make solid garden borders, privacy walls and shop walls. We pour a footing first and add steel inside the blocks where the wall needs it.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition, garage or crawlspace, we lay the block foundation wall on a sound footing, level and square, so whatever's built on top starts right.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
If you're tired of grilling on a wobbly cart, we build brick, block or stone grill islands and counters out back, with room planned for your grill.
Walkway construction
We lay paths to the front door or around the house in brick, pavers or stone, set on a packed base and pitched slightly so water runs off.
Brick wall installation
A new brick wall, freestanding or attached, needs a footing and mortar suited to the brick. We match it to your house.
Stone masonry
Natural stone steps, garden walls and columns, laid by hand and fitted stone to stone. It's slow work, and we don't rush it.
Brick pointing
When only a few joints have cracked or washed out, spot pointing fixes those, so you aren't paying to redo a whole wall that's mostly fine.
