Our Masonry Services in Somerville
We handle all types of masonry repair and installation — from brickwork to concrete restoration — throughout Somerville and nearby towns.
We offer complete brick repair and replacement for homes in the Main Street Historic District, where older structures require soft, breathable mortar. We use Type N mortar to preserve vintage brick and prevent spalling during freeze-thaw cycles.
Our stone veneer installations modernize homes near Gaston Avenue, adding texture and strength without altering their traditional look. For chimney repair and rebuilding, we replace damaged crowns, repoint joints, and install proper flashing to prevent leaks.
We also construct and restore concrete patios, walkways, and steps that enhance outdoor spaces. Along the Raritan River Greenway, we’ve built retaining walls with proper drainage to handle Somerville’s clay-based soil and seasonal flooding.
When foundations crack or shift, our foundation repair and waterproofing services restore structural integrity and protect against water intrusion. And when disaster strikes, our 24/7 emergency masonry repairs ensure you’re never left waiting.

Prices are estimates; final costs depend on scope and materials.
Common Masonry Problems in Somerville Homes
Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
Somerville experiences over forty freeze-thaw cycles every winter. Moisture in mortar joints freezes, expands, and weakens the brick surface. We use breathable mortar and proper joint sealing to prevent cracking and efflorescence.
Chimney Deterioration
Historic homes near the courthouse and train station often have chimneys exposed to decades of weathering. Missing mortar, leaning stacks, and flaking brick are warning signs. Our rebuilds reinforce the base and replace crowns for long-term stability.
Foundation Settling
The town’s clay soil shifts seasonally, creating hairline cracks in basements. We stabilize the structure using pressure-grout injection and waterproof coatings to stop future movement.
Efflorescence & Water Intrusion
High humidity from the Raritan River causes salt deposits and staining. We remove residue safely, repoint the affected area, and redirect drainage to keep walls dry.
