  • A stone retaining wall borders a sidewalk and grassy front yard, with steps leading to a brick porch.

    Tuckpointing

    Tuckpointing, the work we're best known for, is grinding out worn mortar between your bricks and packing fresh mortar in so the joints shed water again.

  • A curved stone-paver patio with flower beds, seating, and a white pergola beside a house.

  • A broad gray interlocking-paver driveway curves around a palm-planted island, with lawns and mature trees nearby.

    Driveway pavers

    A paver driveway is laid on a packed gravel base, and that base is where we spend the time, because a good base is what keeps pavers level.

  • A raised paver pool patio is edged by a gray block retaining wall and tropical plants.

    Retaining wall construction

    For a sloped yard that's washing out, we build block or stone retaining walls with drainage behind them, since trapped water is what pushes walls over.

  • Brick chimney with two metal caps rises above a shingled roof, with dark flashing around its base.

  • A house facade combines tan stone veneer with gray siding, white trim, large windows, and a red front door.

  • Stone-faced house entrance with a curved, illuminated masonry walkway and landscaped borders at dusk.

    Concrete block walls

    Concrete block is the workhorse for garden and garage walls, and we lay it level with full joints, filling the hollow cores where the wall needs strength.

  • New backyard patio with dark stamped paving, a curved block retaining wall and a circular fire pit.

    Foundation block wall installation

    New additions, garages and crawlspaces sit on block foundation walls, so we set them on a level footing and keep every row straight from the first one up.

  • A covered outdoor kitchen has a stone pizza oven, stainless steel grill, counters, and a flagstone patio.

    Outdoor kitchen masonry

    Outdoor kitchens need a base that takes heat and weather, so we build the counters and grill surround in block and face them in brick or stone.

  • A curved tan stone retaining wall surrounds a circular built-in bench beside a geometric paver walkway.

    Walkway construction

    Brick, stone or paver walkways get dug out and laid on a packed base with a slight slope, so rain runs off instead of puddling at your door.

  • Curving concrete walkway edged with red bricks crosses a green lawn toward a house entrance.

    Brick wall installation

    For a new garden wall or gate pier, we lay the brick on a solid footing and check each row against a line so it goes up straight.

    Learn more
  • Curving tan stone retaining walls enclose colorful planted garden beds beside a black metal fence and green lawn.

    Stone masonry

    Natural stone takes more fitting than brick because no two pieces match, so we shape and set each one by hand for walls, steps and columns.

    Learn more
  • Curved block retaining walls form a raised garden bed filled with gravel, flowers, and a small tree beside a paved walkway.

    Brick pointing

    Joints that are only starting to wear often need just pointing, so we rake out the loose spots and refill them before water gets behind the brick.

Why Madison homeowners call us

I learned masonry under a boss who made me tear out any row that wasn't right, and I started this business in 2023 to run jobs his way. My name's on every job, so it has to hold up.

About us

  • Straight answers from the owner

    I give you a straight answer at the first visit and a clear price in writing, so you're not chasing anyone for details later.

  • The owner works your job

    I work alongside our masons on your job, so what we talked about in your driveway is what gets built.

  • Full joints and a clean site

    We were trained to fill every joint, keep the lines straight and clean up before we leave, because sloppy mortar lets water in.

  • Smaller fixes when they'll do

    If repointing a few joints solves it, I'll tell you that instead of selling a rebuild, so you pay for the work your house needs.

Questions Madison homeowners ask

Don't see your question here? Call (256) 289-8018 or send us a note, and I'll give you a straight answer.

How much does brick repair cost in Madison, AL?

There's no honest flat price, because it turns on how many bricks and joints have failed, whether the brick has to be matched and how hard the spot is to reach. A chimney or a second-story wall takes more to get to than a garden wall. We'll put your number in writing at a free on-site estimate.

Is it cheaper to repair brick or replace the whole wall?

Repair is usually cheaper when the brick itself is sound and only the mortar or a few bricks have failed. If the wall is leaning or the footing has moved, patching just buys time, and I'll tell you which one you've got.

How long before you can start a masonry job in Madison?

It depends mostly on the size of the job and how long materials take to line up, especially brick that has to match your house. Any permit the city or county asks for adds its own wait, and I'll tell you what to expect at the estimate.

Does a masonry contractor need a license to work in Madison, AL?

Yes, anyone doing construction for profit in the City of Madison needs a city business license before work starts. The city also asks contractors working there for a current general liability insurance certificate. We're licensed and fully insured, and the city's Revenue Department answers licensing questions at 256-772-5654.

Do I need a permit for masonry work in Madison, AL?

It depends on the job, so the place to ask is the city's Building Department, which issues permits for additions and most alterations. We find out what the office asks for on your job and handle the permit paperwork when one's needed, once you've signed a written contract with the scope and price.

Do you guarantee your masonry work?

Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. I was trained to tear out and relay any row that wasn't right, and that's still how we work.

Can you match new brick and mortar to my older house?

We match size, color and texture as closely as we can, and we match the mortar color too so the repair doesn't stand out. An exact match isn't always possible on older brick, so I'll show you the options before we lay any.

Do I need approval for masonry work in the Madison Station Historic District?

You may, because work in the Madison Station Historic District can call for a Certificate of Appropriateness from its Historic Preservation Commission. The application goes to the city's Planning Department by the last Wednesday of the month before the meeting, so ask early. Older houses like those are the kind of mortar and brick work we're best known for.
