Why Oakland Homeowners Trust E Pro Construction
Our proximity means we’re often at Oakland properties within 24 hours — sometimes the same day. We’ve worked in neighborhoods like Manito, Ramapo Hills, and Lakeside Boulevard, pulling permits through Oakland’s Building Department countless times. That local experience ensures every project meets code without delays.
Oakland homes often feature stone-faced ranches and mid-century brick colonials, which require expert mortar matching and careful water management. We use Type N mortar for historic restoration and Type S for structural walls — ensuring strength without compromising style.
Local homeowners call us because we know Oakland’s unique issues: foundation settling near steep lots, chimney leaning from roofline shifts, and cracked patios from soil movement. We’ve built our reputation on solving these problems right the first time.
John personally visits each job site, explains the scope clearly, and answers his phone himself. Every customer receives a written estimate, a clean worksite, and a 1-year workmanship guarantee.
Our 4.9-star Google rating comes from what homeowners say most — quality work, fair pricing, and fast response when it matters most. And yes, our 24/7 emergency service covers everything from collapsing chimneys to sudden foundation leaks.

Our Masonry Services in Oakland
We provide full masonry restoration and construction, from small crack repairs to full property overhauls — each designed for Oakland’s climate, soil, and architecture.
Brick Repair & Replacement
We repair cracked or deteriorating brick walls throughout Ramapo Hills and Skyline Drive, carefully matching the original brick type and color. Freeze-thaw damage is common here, so we use breathable mortars that prevent trapped moisture and future spalling.
Stone Veneer Installation
Homes near Great Oak Park often choose natural or cultured stone veneer for exterior upgrades. We install each layer with weatherproof membranes and flashing, ensuring the beauty of stone without sacrificing durability.
Chimney Repair & Rebuilding
Oakland’s hilly terrain puts chimneys under stress from shifting foundations. We rebuild from the crown down, replace damaged liners, and install proper flashing to stop leaks. Each chimney is repointed using Type N mortar for flexibility through seasonal changes.
Repointing / Tuckpointing
Repointing prevents water from entering weakened mortar joints. We use color-matched mortar to keep your brickwork authentic. The result — a wall that looks new but stays historically true.
Concrete Patios & Walkways
Sloped properties require well-drained patio systems. We design and pour reinforced concrete patios with built-in slope correction and optional stamped finishes. Walkways along Lakeside Boulevard stay level and attractive through decades of seasonal shifts.
Steps (Front & Back)
We build custom steps with proper frost footings and rebar reinforcement. From brick steps for colonial homes to stone entries near Ramapo Lake Road, we combine strength and curb appeal.
Retaining Walls
Hillside homes in Oakland rely on solid retaining walls for stability. We construct engineered walls with drainage systems and filter fabric to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup and cracking.
Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
Clay-heavy soil and uneven grading cause foundation cracks and leaks. We seal from both interior and exterior using high-grade membranes and epoxy injections that permanently stop water intrusion.
Emergency Masonry Repairs (24/7)
From storm-damaged chimneys to sinking front steps, we handle emergencies any time, day or night. Our trucks are nearby — call (862) 232-6765 for immediate help.

Common Masonry Problems in Oakland Homes
1. Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
Oakland sees over 40 freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Moisture seeps into brick pores, freezes overnight, and expands — cracking joints and flaking surfaces. We restore walls with breathable mortar that releases trapped moisture naturally.
2. Foundation Movement on Hillside Lots
Homes on sloped areas near Skyline Drive often experience lateral soil pressure. We stabilize foundations using drainage systems, crack stitching, and wall anchors to prevent movement.
3. Chimney Leaning or Cracking
The combination of roofline shifts and winter frost heave causes chimneys to tilt or split. We rebuild crowns, replace flashing, and waterproof exterior brickwork to stop leaks permanently.
4. Water Intrusion & Efflorescence
White mineral deposits on masonry mean moisture is escaping through your walls. We fix grading, apply vapor-permeable sealants, and repoint compromised joints.
5. Patio & Step Settling
Seasonal thaw and poor base preparation cause sinking concrete. We remove and re-pour with compacted gravel bases and frost-proof reinforcement.
