What we do in Forest Cityon block, brick and stone homes

- Foundation repair When a crack runs through block or brick, we find out why the foundation moved before we fix it.
- Chimney repair Loose brick, cracked crowns and leaning stacks on older chimneys, repaired so water stops getting in.
- Tuckpointing Worn mortar joints raked out and refilled, so the brick on your house holds tight again.

Why Forest City calls usfor straight answers on masonry
I look at every job myself, tell you what your wall or chimney really needs, and I'm on site while my crew does the work.

A crack usually points to something else, like a footing that moved or water behind the brick, and I'll tell you if a repair can wait.

What Forest City jobs involvebefore the first block goes down
A few things about Forest City change who you deal with and what's worth checking before masonry work starts.
City or county, by address
Some of Forest City is inside Altamonte Springs and some is unincorporated county, so if it isn't clear, we check with the right office.
Know your lot's flood zone
Seminole County's property map lookup shows your lot's flood zone, which is worth checking before a retaining wall or new block wall goes in.
Mortar wears out first
Mortar gives out long before brick does, so we repoint worn joints before loose brick turns a small repair into a rebuild.
County rules for local businesses
Any business located in Seminole County, even a one-person shop, needs a county business tax receipt, plus a city one inside city limits.
