Professional Masonry Services in Englewood, NJ

Our Masonry Services in Englewood

We build what lasts and restore what should have lasted longer—always in tune with Englewood’s architecture.

We handle complete brick repair & replacement across Englewood, from East Hill to West Englewood. Older brick around Mackay Park and downtown needs careful unit selection and joint tooling that sheds water. We remove spalled units, clean efflorescence, and rebuild using color-matched, breathable Type N mortar—protecting softer brick and matching original coursing.

For stone veneer installation, we refresh stoops and front facades with natural or cultured stone that suits Englewood’s mix of Tudors and colonials. On wind-exposed elevations near Englewood Hospital or open corners by Mackay Ice Rink, we install WRB over metal lath, weep screeds, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and properly tooled joints. Veneer transitions align with existing siding and brickwork for a seamless upgrade.

Chimney repair & rebuilding is common where stacks catch Palisades gusts. We replace cracked crowns, reset deteriorated courses, and integrate step- and counter-flashing into your roofing correctly. Stainless caps and appropriate flue liners reduce moisture and drafting issues—critical for taller stacks seen across the East Hill ridge.

Repointing / tuckpointing preserves Englewood’s pre-war brickwork near Palisade Ave and streets off Englewood Hospital. We grind joints to a safe depth, rinse salts, and repoint with compatible mortar to prevent hard-mortar damage. Joint profiles match the home’s era. Clean lines. Even color. Longer service life.

Concrete patios & walkways demand sub-base compaction and expansion joints to resist freeze-thaw heaving. We pitch surfaces away from the foundation and integrate area drains on backyards that collect runoff from Flat Rock Brook’s slopes. Finishes are non-slip for winter safety.

Steps (front & back) are rebuilt around a solid block core, steel reinforcement, and sealed treads. Brick-faced steps get matched coursing and nosing. Rail anchors are set to prevent water intrusion and rust jacking. We’ve restored dozens of stoops within walking distance of Mackay Park and downtown.

Retaining walls must relieve pressure—not trap it. We excavate properly, compact in lifts, and build with geogrid reinforcement, free-draining backfill, and perforated pipe to daylight. Coping is set with drip edges so wall faces stay clean. On steeper East Hill lots, we increase grid length and add cleanouts for maintenance.

Foundation repair & waterproofing tackles seepage where the water table and hillside runoff meet. We inject active cracks, add French drains or exterior membranes, and use vapor-permeable coatings so walls dry instead of blister. Regrading and downspout routing finish the protection.

For emergency masonry repairs (24/7)—storm-loosened parapets, unsafe steps, or a failing chimney—call (862) 232-6765. We stabilize first, then design the permanent fix with you.

Common Masonry Problems in Englewood Homes

Freeze–Thaw Brick Damage
Englewood winters bring frequent temperature swings. Water in hairline cracks expands overnight and pops brick faces. You’ll notice flaking, sandy joints, and white efflorescence. We cut back failed mortar and repoint with Type N to allow safe movement. Late summer and early fall let repairs cure before winter hits hard.

Retaining Wall Bowing on East Hill Slopes
Steeper grades trap water behind garden walls. Bulging courses and cracked caps are early signs. We rebuild with geogrid reinforcement, free-draining backfill, and perforated pipe to daylight—eliminating pressure before the wall leans into the walk.

Chimney Leaks from Wind-Driven Rain
Gusts across open corners near Mackay Park push rain under loose flashing. Interior stains around ceilings or fireplaces show up first. Our fix includes step/counter-flashing, a recast crown, and stainless caps that keep water out and flues venting correctly.

Basement Seepage at Cold Joints
Mid-century foundations develop hairline cracking and damp lines where pours meet. Look for paint blistering or salt crusts. We inject active cracks, install French drains, and use vapor-permeable coatings so walls dry. Downspout rerouting completes the system.

Spalling Concrete Steps from De-icing Salts
Salts chew treads and nosings through winter. We resurface or rebuild with air-entrained concrete, correct pitch, and seal to resist future damage.
