Masonry Contractor in Winter Garden, FL - Repairs That Fix the Cause
Custom Apopka Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Apopka. In Winter Garden we build block and brick walls, lay pavers and walkways, and repair brick, stone and chimneys by fixing what caused the damage.
Masonry contractor in Winter Gardenfixing the cause, not the crack
Winter Garden calls us for block garden walls, paver driveways, outdoor kitchens and repairs on older brick. A lot of those calls start with a crack, and I'd rather find out what's moving the wall than smear mortar over it.
Price moves with the size of the job, the material, and how much old work has to come out first. The schedule mostly turns on any permit or zoning sign-off. Your written estimate gives you your own number. We do the same work in Wekiwa Springs and Ocoee.
Call (407) 358-0149 or send the form, and I'll come out, look at the job and write up your estimate.
What we build in Winter Gardenplus brick, block and stone repair
These are the jobs we take on in Winter Garden, from small repairs on older brick to new walls, pavers and outdoor kitchens.
- Foundation repair We find out why a block foundation is cracking or settling before we patch anything, so the fix holds.
- Chimney repair Cracked crowns and loose chimney brick after storm season, rebuilt or repointed so water stops getting in.
- Tuckpointing On older brick homes, we grind out worn joints and refill them in a color that matches what's there.
- Brick repair Spalled, cracked or loose bricks cut out and replaced, with whatever damaged them dealt with first.
- Driveway pavers Paver driveways laid on a packed base, so they carry daily cars and the odd delivery truck without sinking.
- Retaining wall construction Low walls that hold back a sloped yard or raised bed, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push them over.
- Masonry restoration Older brick and stone around downtown cleaned, repaired and repointed so it keeps its look and stays sound.
- Fireplace installation Brick or stone fireplaces, indoors or out on the patio, sized for the space they sit in.
- Stone veneer installation Stone veneer over block walls, columns and house fronts, with the backing and flashing done so water can't sit behind it.
- Concrete block walls Block privacy and garden walls set on a proper footing and reinforced, which matters when storms bring limbs down.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation and stem walls for additions and garages, laid level on a footing sized for the load.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Grill islands and outdoor kitchens built in block, then finished in brick, stone or stucco to match the house.
- Walkway construction Brick, paver and stone walkways from the driveway to the door or out back, sloped so they drain.
- Brick wall installation New brick garden walls, entry walls and mailbox columns that match the brick already on your house.
- Stone masonry Natural stone walls, steps and columns laid by hand and fitted so the stone carries the weight.
- Brick pointing Crumbling joints on sound brick get repointed, and we'll tell you straight if yours can wait a year.
Why Winter Garden hires usfor plain answers on walls
I ran jobs and crews for another Apopka mason before I started this business in 2013. I'll tell you what your wall needs, what can wait and why.
Find the cause first
A crack is the symptom. We look for what's behind it, water, roots or a settling footing, and fix that before any new mortar goes on.
No work you don't need
I'd rather lose the job than sell you work your house doesn't need, and I'll say so when a repair can wait.
The owner on every job
I look at the job and write the estimate myself, and I'm on site while our own masons and helpers do the work.
Straight answers before you sell

I look at it myself
I come out to Winter Garden, look at the job and what's causing it, then put the estimate in writing so you can weigh it properly.
Permits, then the work

We walk it together
When the work is done, we walk it with you, show you what we fixed and why, and answer anything before we pack up.
What Winter Garden lots askof walls, pavers and brick
Most of what we run into here comes down to storms, older brick and city sign-offs that catch people off guard.
Storm season and big trees
The city asks residents to trim trees before hurricane season, which helps walls too, because a falling limb cracks caps and columns.
Older brick homes
Older brick usually wants a softer mortar than new block, so we match the mix and color instead of patching with whatever's handy.
Short walls still need sign-off
Retaining walls under 24 inches, driveways, sidewalks and paver patios skip the building permit here but still need the city's zoning pre-approval first.
Flood zone lots
On a flood zone lot, the city wants a building permit for every project, whatever the cost, so we check that before we start.
Work started without a permit
The city answers unpermitted work with code enforcement and fees up to three times the regular permit, so we settle the permit before digging.

Our work around Winter Gardenfrom downtown brick to new block
Around Plant Street and the downtown historic district, a lot of the brick is older than anything we'd lay today, so repairs there are about matching what's already standing. Further out, it's mostly block homes, and the calls are for garden walls, paver driveways and outdoor kitchens.
The West Orange Trail runs from Winter Garden north into Apopka, close to the drive we make to get here. A job in Winter Garden gets the same crew and the same look-at-the-cause-first approach as one down the street from us.
