Masonry contractor in Orlandowith a crew based in Apopka
We're based in Apopka and work across Orlando, plus nearby Lockhart and Pine Hills. Most calls here are cracked block walls, crumbling mortar and sunken pavers, and I find what's causing the damage before we fix anything.
Price turns on how much wall or paving there is, how deep the damage goes and the materials you choose. The schedule turns mostly on rain and on whether the City of Orlando wants a permit for your job, and your written estimate gives you your own figure.
Call (407) 358-0149 or send the form, and I'll come out and look at your job myself.
What we do in Orlandofor brick, block and stone homes
Here's the masonry work we do at Orlando houses, from small mortar repairs to new walls, walkways and outdoor kitchens.
- Foundation repair Foundation repair for slabs and footings that settled and cracked a wall, starting with why it moved.
- Chimney repair When a chimney has loose brick or a cracked cap, chimney repair keeps summer storms from soaking into it.
- Tuckpointing Tuckpointing on older brick houses where years of sun and rain have worn the mortar joints back.
- Brick repair Cracked, chipped or flaking bricks get cut out and replaced through brick repair that matches the wall around them.
- Driveway pavers Driveway pavers laid on a packed base so they stand up to cars and heavy afternoon rain.
- Retaining wall construction Sloped yards and lots that run down toward a lake often need retaining wall construction to hold the soil back.
- Masonry restoration Masonry restoration for older brick and stone that needs more than a patch to keep going.
- Fireplace installation Want a fire on the cool nights we do get? Fireplace installation in brick or stone, indoors or out.
- Stone veneer installation Stone veneer installation over block or framed walls, with drainage behind the stone so water can get out.
- Concrete block walls Block is how most Florida houses are built, and we lay concrete block walls for yards, additions and garages the same way.
- Foundation block wall installation Foundation block wall installation for additions and raised floors, laid level and filled where the design calls for it.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Outdoor kitchen masonry built in block and finished in stone or brick, for a patio you use most of the year.
- Walkway construction Walkway construction in pavers, brick or stone, pitched so rain runs off instead of pooling by your front door.
- Brick wall installation Garden walls, privacy walls and planters through brick wall installation, with footings sized for sandy ground.
- Stone masonry Stone masonry for steps, columns and wall caps that need stone cut and fitted by hand.
- Brick pointing Small mortar cracks around steps and windows? Brick pointing fills them before water gets in behind the brick.
Why Orlando calls usfor a straight answer first
I'd rather tell you something now than have you find it out later, and I'd rather lose a job than sell you work you don't need.
We fix the cause, not the crack
A crack in a wall is usually a sign of water, settling or roots, so we track down the source before we patch anything.
Our own masons on your job
The masons and helpers at your house work for us, so the people laying your block are people I know and work with every day.
Licensed, insured and on our own since 2013
We're licensed and insured, and I've run this business since 2013 after years running jobs for another contractor. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
Plain answers when you're selling
If you're getting a house ready to sell, we'll tell you plainly what a wall or chimney really needs before a buyer's inspector brings it up.
Told when a repair can wait
If a crack is old and hasn't moved, I'll say it can wait and tell you what to watch for, instead of selling you a rebuild.
From your call to donehow an Orlando job runs
You deal with me from the first look to the final walkthrough, and what we agree on is written down before we start, so you know what you're paying for.
You call or write
Call (407) 358-0149 or send the form with your address and what you're seeing, and we'll get back to you to set a time.
I look at it myself
I come out, find what's causing the damage and write up what we'd do and why. If it isn't clear whether your job needs a permit, we check with the city before we start.
Permits, then the work
Some single-family jobs under $7,500 can be exempt from a permit, though structural work and fences never qualify, and the city says it reviews exemption requests within five business days. When a permit is needed we pull it, and my crew works with me on site.
We walk it with you
When the work is done, we walk the finished job with you, go over what we fixed and why, and clean up before we leave.
What Orlando weather does to masonryand how we build for it
Heat, heavy rain and sandy ground wear on Orlando walls, pavers and chimneys in a few common ways.
Summer downpours
Afternoon storms wash sand out from under pavers and walkways, so we build on a packed base and pitch the surface to shed water.
Sandy ground that settles
Loose sandy soil can let footings and slabs sink unevenly and crack a block wall, so we check the ground before we rebuild anything.
Sun and wet air on mortar
Years of heat and humidity wear mortar joints back on brick houses, and we repoint them before water works in behind the brick.
Lots in a flood hazard area
If any part of your property sits in a flood hazard area, the city's small-job permit exemption doesn't apply, so we sort out the permit question first.

Tell us your address and what you're seeing with the wall, chimney or pavers, and we'll reply within one business day. I come out to look at it myself, and the written estimate is free, with no pressure and no obligation.
Working on Orlando homesthe way I'd want mine done
Orlando houses run from brick homes with a fireplace chimney to newer block houses with paver driveways and patios out back, and we work on all of them. The calls look a lot like the ones we get in Apopka: a cracked wall, a settling step, mortar washing out of a joint.
Plenty of Orlando lots sit near a lake or slope toward one, so drainage comes up on a lot of our jobs here, whether it's a retaining wall, a walkway or a block wall. We look at where the water goes before we decide what to build.
