Masonry work for South Hill homes
South Hill is one of Pierce County's largest unincorporated communities, so there's no city hall in the picture. Building permits go through the county's Development Center, and certain projects on a lot with a septic system or private well need an early county screening first. We check with the county for your address, and if your job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork for our part.
I come out from Tacoma to look at every job myself, same as I do in Fircrest and Parkland. Price mostly comes down to the size of the job, the materials and how much old work has to come out, and timing comes down to whether the county wants a permit first. Your written estimate spells out the rest.
What we build and fix in South Hill
Get a quoteFoundation repair
When a crack in your foundation keeps widening or lets water in, we find out why, then repair the concrete or block and seal it against water.
Chimney repair
Loose bricks, a cracked crown on top or stains running down the chimney usually mean water is getting in. We rebuild what's failed and match your brick.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing means grinding out worn mortar joints and packing in fresh mortar colored to match, and it's worth doing once joints crumble when you scratch them.
Brick repair
Bricks that crack, shift or flake off at the face can be cut out and replaced with brick that matches in size, color and texture.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway is only as good as the base under it, so we dig out, pack the base firm and lay pavers you can lift and reset.
Retaining wall construction
Where a yard slopes toward the house or soil keeps sliding onto a path, we build block or stone walls with drainage behind them to hold it back.
Masonry restoration
For older brick and stone that's tired all over, restoration pulls the repairs together. We clean, repoint and replace what's needed so the work looks like it belongs.
Fireplace installation
We build fireplaces from the firebox out, in brick or stone, sized for the room and built so smoke heads up the chimney instead of into the house.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer is a thin layer of stone set over a wall. It works well on foundations, fireplaces and entries, as long as water behind it can drain.
Concrete block walls
Concrete block makes a strong, plain wall for a yard, garden or garage. We set it on a solid footing and reinforce it where the wall needs it.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition, a crawlspace or a wall that has to be rebuilt, we lay block foundation walls on footings, square and level for whatever goes on top.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build the masonry part of an outdoor kitchen, the counters, grill surround and base, in block, brick or stone that stands up to rain and grease.
Walkway construction
If your path is muddy, cracked or uneven enough to trip on, we can build a new one in pavers, brick, stone or concrete on a packed base.
Brick wall installation
A new garden or front-yard brick wall needs a good footing and the right mortar, and we'll help you pick brick that suits your house.
Stone masonry
We lay natural stone walls, steps and accents by hand, one stone at a time, because the fit and the joints decide how it looks and lasts.
Brick pointing
Small patches of cracked or missing mortar don't always need a full tuckpointing job. Pointing fixes just those joints before water gets in behind the brick.
