What we build in Wekiwa Springsand the repairs homes here need
Here's the work we do around Wekiwa Springs, from repairs that go after the cause of settling to new pavers, walls and outdoor kitchens.
- Foundation repair When a footing settles after a wet summer, we find out why before we brace or rebuild it.
- Chimney repair Loose crowns and cracked brick let rain into the chimney, and Florida downpours find the gaps fast.
- Tuckpointing Worn mortar joints on older brick homes, ground out and refilled to keep water out of the wall.
- Brick repair Spalled brick, where the face has flaked off, cut out and replaced with the closest match we can find.
- Driveway pavers Paver driveways on a packed base with solid edging, built for the heavy rain that runs across them every summer.
- Retaining wall construction Lots that slope toward low ground need walls with drainage behind them, or the soil pushes them over.
- Masonry restoration For older brick and block patched too many times, we strip out the bad repairs and redo them properly.
- Fireplace installation A brick or stone fireplace inside or under a covered patio, sized to the room and the chimney above it.
- Stone veneer installation Stone veneer over block or framed walls, with the water barrier behind it that our humidity and rain call for.
- Concrete block walls Block privacy and garden walls, filled and reinforced where the height calls for it, on footings sized for wet ground.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation and stem walls for additions, laid on footings we dig and check before the first course.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Block-and-stone outdoor kitchens and grill islands, built to take Florida sun, rain and humidity year round.
- Walkway construction Front walks and garden paths that dip after rain, rebuilt on a packed base so they stay level longer.
- Brick wall installation Brick garden and entry walls with weep holes and a cap, so summer storms run off instead of soaking in.
- Stone masonry Natural stone steps, columns and borders, set in mortar for yards that want a less formal look than brick.
- Brick pointing Small runs of cracked or missing mortar, pointed before rain gets behind the brick and the job gets bigger.
Why Wekiwa Springs calls usa straight answer on every wall
I ran jobs for another masonry contractor around Apopka before going out on my own in 2013. You get a straight answer about what your wall or chimney needs and what can wait.
We fix the cause, not the crack
A crack usually has a reason behind it, like water or ground that's moving, and we deal with that first so the repair has a chance to last.
What can wait, and what can't
I'd rather lose a job than sell you work you don't need, and I'd rather tell you about a problem now than have you find it later.
Licensed and insured, worth checking
We're licensed and insured. In Florida a certified contractor has to pass a state exam and carry liability insurance to get licensed, so ask any mason you're comparing for proof.
Getting your house ready to sell
We'll tell you plainly what a wall or chimney needs before you list, so you're not guessing when a buyer's inspector takes a look.
Satisfaction guaranteed on every job
That's our promise on every wall, walk and chimney we take on, so call (407) 358-0149 when you want us to look at yours.
From call to walkthroughwith one crew start to finish
We keep it simple. You get a written estimate before any work starts, so you know what the job is and what it costs before you decide.
Call or send the form
Tell us what you're seeing, like a cracked wall, a dipping walkway or a leaking chimney, by calling (407) 358-0149 or sending the form.
I look at it myself
I come out to your house, look at the job and what's causing it, and put the estimate in writing so you can compare it.
Our crew does the work
If you go ahead, we take care of any permit the job needs, and our own masons and helpers do the work with me on site.
We walk it with you
When it's done, we walk the finished job with you, so you see the work and can ask about anything before we pack up.
What Wekiwa Springs ground asks of masonrynear the river and the springs
Land around the Wekiva mixes rivers, creeks, springs, seepage areas and sinkholes, and it shows in how slabs and walls hold up.
Rainy-season high water
The streams run on rain and spill their banks in the rainy season, so we build footings and drainage for ground that gets soaked.
Dips that aren't sinkholes
A sinking spot can be a rotted stump, a broken sewer or septic line, or loose fill, so we find which before we rebuild.
Flood zones in the county
About a third of Seminole County sits in high-risk flood zones, so we check your lot's flood zone before planning a wall or slab.
Summer rain on mortar
Heavy summer rain gets into worn joints and cracked caps, so we refill the mortar and redo the caps before water works inside the wall.

Working around Wekiwa Springswhere the streets say Wekiva
Most of the streets and subdivisions here spell it Wekiva, like the river. Whichever spelling is on your street sign, we treat the job the same way, starting with what's under the wall or walk before we touch the brick or block.
With Wekiwa Springs State Park right beside the community and the Wekiva River close by, many yards here run toward woods or low, wet ground. We plan footings, drainage and slope for that, and we clean up the site before we leave.
