Our Masonry Services in Lodi
We offer complete masonry services for Lodi homes — everything from minor repointing to major foundation restoration. Each service is tailored to our local architecture and climate.
We handle brick repair and replacement across Avenue A and Union Street. Many of these post-war brick homes need Type N mortar to preserve breathability while adding strength. We remove loose mortar, tuckpoint cleanly, and restore original patterns so new work blends seamlessly with the old.
Stone veneer installation is popular near Kennedy Drive where many homeowners want a modern update without losing that Lodi character. We use high-quality manufactured and natural stone sourced locally, installing each panel over a properly anchored base to withstand freeze-thaw cycles.
Chimney repair and rebuilding are essential for houses near the river where moisture creeps into brickwork. We replace spalled brick, rebuild crowns, and install new flashing to prevent leaks. Proper flashing installation is the key to a dry attic — and we’ve perfected it over hundreds of projects.
Our repointing and tuckpointing services restore crumbling mortar in Lodi’s older homes. We use Type S or Type N mortar depending on brick density and age, ensuring flexibility and durability.
For outdoor living, we build concrete patios and walkways that hold up to New Jersey’s freeze-thaw stress. We form, pour, and finish with expansion joints that reduce cracking.
Steps — front or back — are rebuilt using reinforced concrete or brick veneers that match your home’s design. We’ve reconstructed countless stoops throughout Lodi with non-slip treads and proper drainage angles.
We also install and repair retaining walls to manage elevation changes and prevent soil movement — especially important near the Passaic River where ground moisture is high. Each wall is engineered with a gravel base and drainage pipes for long-term stability.
When foundation issues appear, our foundation repair and waterproofing teams step in. We seal cracks, apply waterproof coatings, and improve drainage grading to protect basements from flooding.
And if you ever need emergency masonry repairs, we’re available 24/7 for chimney collapses, loose walls, or storm damage. We arrive quickly, stabilize the structure, and schedule permanent repairs once it’s safe.

Common Masonry Problems in Lodi Homes
1. Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
Lodi faces 40+ freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Moisture seeps into brick, expands when frozen, and cracks the surface. We repair spalling brick and replace damaged mortar with breathable Type N mixes that release moisture naturally.
2. Efflorescence and Moisture Seepage
White salt stains on basement walls are common in homes near the Passaic River. We install drainage solutions, seal walls, and add weep holes to let moisture escape without damaging the structure.
3. Aging Mortar in Mid-Century Homes
Most Lodi homes were built 60–70 years ago. Their mortar is often too soft to handle modern stress. We carefully grind and repoint without damaging surrounding brick — a technique we’ve perfected over hundreds of restorations.
4. Chimney Leaks and Crown Cracks
Frequent rain and wind erode chimney crowns. We rebuild them with reinforced concrete crowns and proper flashing to keep water out for decades.
5. Foundation Shifts from Drainage Issues
Flooding near low-lying areas causes foundation movement. We stabilize walls with steel reinforcement and improve surface grading to divert water away.
