Masonry repair in South Apopkathat goes after the cause
Our crew works in South Apopka the same way we do in Apopka and Forest City. Most calls here are a cracked block wall, a chimney shedding mortar, or a walk that's settled.
Price comes down to what's causing the damage, how much has to come apart, and matching the brick or stone you have. The schedule turns mostly on whether the job needs a county permit and inspections. Your written estimate gives you your own figure.

Our work around South Apopkablock, brick and stone, inside and out
We do the full range of masonry here, from repairs that stop damage from spreading to new walls, walks, pavers and outdoor kitchens.
- Foundation repair When a foundation wall or footing cracks, I find what moved it before we patch anything.
- Chimney repair Loose crowns, cracked caps and open joints on older chimneys, fixed before water gets into the house.
- Tuckpointing We cut out worn mortar and repack the joints so a brick front sheds water again.
- Brick repair Cracked, flaking or loose brick replaced with a close match, so the repair doesn't stand out.
- Driveway pavers Paver driveways laid on a packed base, a good fix when an old slab keeps cracking.
- Retaining wall construction For yards that step down, we build block and stone walls with drainage behind them.
- Masonry restoration Tired brick and block brought back, often for owners getting a house ready to sell.
- Fireplace installation New fireplaces built in brick or stone, inside the house or out on a covered patio.
- Stone veneer installation Thin stone over block walls, columns and house fronts, set on a backing that lets water out behind it.
- Concrete block walls Block privacy and garden walls set on a footing sized for the wall's height.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls for additions and new rooms, laid level and filled where the plans call for it.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Block-built grill islands and counters, finished in brick, stone or stucco to go with your house.
- Walkway construction Front walks and side paths in pavers, brick or stone, often replacing a cracked or settled one.
- Brick wall installation New brick walls and planters laid to match the brick already on your house.
- Stone masonry Natural stone steps, columns and walls, cut and set by hand by our own masons.
- Brick pointing Small runs of failed mortar filled in before they turn into a bigger job.
Why South Apopka calls usfor a straight answer first
Working with us is simple. I'll tell you what your wall actually needs, what it's going to take and why, before we touch anything.
We fix the cause, not the crack
Patching a crack without finding what moved the wall just means patching it again later. I find the cause first, then we repair it.
Only the work you need
If a wall can wait a few years, I'll say so. I'd rather lose the job than sell you work you don't need.
Licensed and insured, permits handled
We're licensed and insured. When your job needs a permit from the Orange County Division of Building Safety, we pull it as the licensed contractor and set up the inspections.
Running our own crew since 2013
I ran jobs and crews for another Apopka-area mason for years, then started this business in 2013, so I've seen what fails on houses like yours.
Repairs that blend in
We work to match the brick, stone and mortar color you already have, so a repair doesn't look like a patch. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
From call to walkthroughwith one person to talk to
You get one person to talk to and a written estimate before anything starts, so you know what we're doing and why before you decide.
You call or send the form
Call (407) 358-0149 or send the form and tell us what you're seeing, whether it's a crack, a lean or loose mortar.
I look at it myself
I come out, find what's causing the problem and give you a written estimate. If the job can wait, I'll tell you that too.
Permit, then the work
If you go ahead, we take care of any permit the job needs. Then my crew does the work, and I'm on site while they do it.
We walk it together
When the work's done, we walk the finished job with you and clean up, so you see every repair before we leave.
What South Apopka jobs involveunder Orange County rules
A few county rules decide how a masonry job in South Apopka gets permitted, and we work them out before we start.
The county issues permits
Apopka hasn't annexed South Apopka, so permits come from the county, not the city, and we check with that office when it's unclear.
The no-permit list is short
The county's permit-free work is small stuff like painting, flooring and same-layout cabinets, so we check on wall, chimney and foundation work first.
The small-job exemption has limits
Some single-family jobs valued under $7,500 no longer need a county permit, but not rentals, mobile homes, lots even partly in a flood zone, or structural work.
Flood zones add a permit
Building in a FEMA floodplain needs a flood plain permit, so we find out whether your lot sits in a flood zone before planning a wall.
Ask which license they hold
In Orange County a building permit can be pulled by a Florida-licensed general, building or residential contractor, so ask anyone you hire which license they hold.

Tell us what you're seeing and where the house is, and we'll reply within one business day. I come out myself and give you a free written estimate on site, with no pressure and no obligation.
Our work in South Apopkafor the people who live here
A lot of the houses in South Apopka are lived in by the people who own them, and the Census puts the median value of those homes at $280,500. That's why I size a repair to what the house needs, not to the biggest job I could sell.
We also hear from people getting a house ready to sell who want a straight answer about a wall or a chimney. I'd rather tell you now what it needs than have it come up later in the buyer's inspection.
