Professional Masonry Services in Wallington, NJ
You see the lines of old red brick row houses across Wallington, many built in the early 20th century, matching the masonry of buildings along Main Avenue and near the Market Street Bridge over the Passaic River. John and our crew at E Pro Construction are just a short drive from you—about 8 miles away in Elmwood Park (roughly 15 minutes).

Why Wallington Homeowners Trust E Pro Construction
Because we’re neighbors first—and masonry experts second. From our Elmwood Park base, we reach Wallington properties in minutes, often same-day. In fact, we’ve pulled permits through Wallington’s Building Department dozens of times, coordinating inspections and code compliance for churches, homes, and mixed-use buildings along Market Street and Main Avenue.
In neighborhoods like the west side near Maple Avenue, the older brick facades need careful mortar matching to avoid patchy repairs. Our license NJ #13VH12693500 is never just a number—it underpins every job. John often walks local streets, identifying sidewalk step damage or cracks, and ensures each estimate incorporates local zoning, drainage, and floodplain concerns near the Passaic and Saddle Rivers. We understand that in Wallington, basements may suffer seepage near low spots by the river, and facades on roads with heavy salt use must resist freeze-thaw cycling.
We’ve worked in the Little Poland district, Crescent Park vicinity, Roehrs Nursery corridor, and near the Civic Center. Homeowners often comment that our turnaround is fast, pricing is transparent, and the crews leave homes cleaner than we found them.
We guarantee each masonry project for 1 year. And because some problems can’t wait, we provide 24/7 emergency service for chimney collapse, wall bulges, or storm damage—often within 24 hours, usually same day.

Our Masonry Services in Wallington
We provide full masonry services across Wallington—always customized to local needs and architectural style.
We handle brick repair and replacement throughout Wallington, from Roehrs corridor to Maple Avenue. The vintage, 1920–40s brick row homes demand that we use matching clay brick units and a Type N mortar for historic repointing so you get seamless integration. In many older homes near the Market Street Bridge, you’ll see crumbling mortar and chipped corners—we replace or restore full bricks, reinforcing with stainless steel anchors when needed.
Stone veneer is growing in popularity, even among classic Wallington colonials. We install natural stone veneer or manufactured ledgestone on accent walls, fireplace exteriors, or soothed foundation facades. Because the local soil is clay and can heave, we always include a drainage plane and weep holes behind veneer to prevent moisture trapping.
Chimney repair and rebuilding is a specialty. The chimneys in this area often suffer crown cracks, flue liner failure, and mortar joint erosion from salt exposure. We rebuild with proper flashing, stainless steel chimney caps, and ensure proper chimney liner replacement, so leaks don’t return.
Repointing (or tuckpointing) is crucial here. The freeze-thaw damage in Wallington causes mortar joints to fracture. We open joints carefully, clean debris, install new mortar with matching color, and compact it flush. That restores structural integrity and protects the brick.
Concrete patios and walkways are common in backyards behind homes in neighborhoods like West Side and the Roehrs area. We pour broom-finish concrete or pavers with proper sub-base and drainage to handle runoff from storms. Because many lots slope slightly toward the river, we slope paths away and install channel drains where needed.
Front and back steps frequently show spalling or cracking. We remove failing steps, reset with proper reinforcement, add steel bars or dowels across joints, and finish with a slip-resistant broom finish. In rainy or icy months, we seal the surface to slow salt effects.
Retaining walls are especially needed in back yards near low elevations adjacent to the Passaic floodplain. We excavate, install proper drainage (perforated pipe and gravel), compact base, and build reinforced concrete or segmental block walls with facing that aligns with local brick or stone.
Foundation repair and waterproofing: many basements in Wallington are old and see seepage from heavy rains or winter snowmelt. We crack-seal foundation walls, install interior drainage (French drains) or exterior membrane waterproofing, and repoint or parge the foundation to prevent moisture intrusion.
Finally, emergency masonry repairs: if a wall cracks from storm load, a chimney leans, or an explosion of freeze damage occurs, we’re available 24/7. Crews stabilize, shore, and rebuild quickly to keep your home safe.

Common Masonry Problems in Wallington Homes
Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
Wallington sees over 40 freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Water enters mortar joints or hairline cracks, then freezes and expands—spalling brick and cracked joints result. You might see white powder (efflorescence), loose mortar, or chipped brick. We remove deteriorated mortar, seal the brick face, and repoint with breathable Type N or Type S mortar to allow moisture escape—preventing repeat damage.
Mortar Erosion from Road Salt & Traffic
Homes along Paterson Avenue and Main Avenue get exposed to salt spray and runoff. Over time, that salt degrades mortar and causes joint crumbling. You may see hollow joints or powdery erosion. We fully remove affected mortar and replace with salt-resistant mortar blends, sealed if appropriate, and protect critical joints with drip edges or cap flashing.
Chimney Crown and Flue Cracks
Because many chimneys in Wallington were constructed 80–100 years ago, concrete crowns crack, flue liners settle, or caps fail. Water intrusion then erodes brick and interior walls. Signs: water stains, masonry cracks, dampness. Our solution: rebuild or repair crown, install stainless steel cap, apply flexible sealants, and reliner chimney for safe draft and weather protection.
Foundation Seepage & Rising Damp
Low-lying lots near the Passaic and Saddle Rivers sometimes suffer damp basements and moisture wicking through brick or block foundations. Signs include mold, peeling paint, efflorescence, or damp floors. We install drainage systems, parge and seal foundation walls, crack-inject where necessary, and relieve hydrostatic pressure with interior drainage and sump pumps.
Bulging or Leaning Walls
If you see a bowing wall, horizontal cracks, or mortar that’s shifted, the wall may be failing due to load, poor foundation, or frost heave. This is serious. We install steel reinforcement rods, rebuild unstable sections, underpin foundation if needed, and tie walls properly to structure. Time matters—delaying can worsen damage and increase cost dramatically.

Serving Wallington Since 1997
We’ve served Wallington since our founding in December 1997. Over these 27+ years, we’ve tackled masonry repairs in Crescent Park, near Washington Crossing Park along the riverbank, on houses backing the Eighth Street Bridge, and in dense blocks near Main and Market Street. In one project, we rebuilt the chimney of a 1905 colonial just steps from the Gregory Avenue Bridge; on another, we stabilized a retaining wall behind homes that face Paterson Avenue, threatened by storm runoff.
We’re deeply familiar with Wallington’s one-square-mile geography—its rivers, soil, flood risks, historic blocks, and building department protocols. We source brick and masonry from regional suppliers that stock the same vintage clay brick used in early 20th-century construction. We’ve walked every street.
Our reputation in Wallington rests on doing the job right, the first time. We don’t settle for shortcuts. We don’t walk away. And we’re in this for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions About Masonry in Wallington
How much does masonry repair cost in Wallington?
Costs depend on the scope, material, access, and damage severity. Brick repointing may run $12–$20 per sq ft; chimney work often runs $1,200 to $5,000 or more. Our free estimate will assess your specific structure and give you a fair, itemized price.
Do I need a permit for masonry work in Wallington?
Yes — many brick, retaining wall, chimney or structural repairs require a permit from Wallington’s building department. We handle permit applications, schedule inspections, and ensure you stay code-compliant.
How long does brick repointing last in New Jersey weather?
With quality materials and proper technique, repointing can last 15–30 years. What matters is using breathable mortar, cleaning joints properly, and allowing for seasonal movement.
What’s the best time of year for masonry repairs?
Spring and fall are ideal—temperatures between 40–80°F, lower freeze risk. Winter is risky (mortar cures poorly); summer heat can dry mortar too fast. We can still work year-round for emergencies when needed.
How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
Look for signs: leaning chimney, cracked crown, spalling bricks, missing mortar, water stains inside, rust around flue, flue liner gaps. If you see any of these, call us for inspection.
Can you match historic brick in Wallington’s older homes?
Yes. Over the years we’ve sourced clay brick that matches early 1900s styles in Wallington. Our blends reproduce color, size, and texture so new work blends invisibly with old.
How long does a typical masonry project take?
Small jobs (repointing, patching) often complete in 1–3 days. Medium jobs (chimney rebuild, steps) take 3–7 days. Larger projects (retaining wall, foundation waterproofing) may span 1–3 weeks, depending on weather and access.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
We accept cash, check, and major credit cards. In some cases, we can arrange modest financing options for larger structural repairs—ask during your estimate.
What’s included in your free estimate?
We visit your property, inspect all masonry surfaces, take photos, measure damage, identify problem sources (drainage, water, movement), and prepare a written scope, schedule, and cost. No obligation.
Are you insured and licensed in Wallington?
Absolutely. E Pro Construction holds NJ license #13VH12693500, fully insured, and we maintain local code compliance. We carry liability and worker’s compensation for your protection.
What if I have a masonry emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency masonry service. If your chimney crumbles, a wall bulges, or a collapse occurs, call us and we often respond within 24 hours, sometimes same day.
How do I maintain my masonry after repair?
Inspect annually for cracked mortar, efflorescence, or spalling. Keep gutters clear, ensure downspouts divert water away, avoid salt contact, clean with gentle methods, and caulk joints before winter. Simple upkeep goes a long way.
