Our Masonry Services in Belleville
We handle complete masonry services in Belleville—covering everything from minor brick repair to full retaining walls and foundation work. Whether your home is in the Silver Lake, Lower Roseville, or Essex Park area, we’ve got you covered.
Brick Repair & Replacement
We restore aged or damaged brickwork throughout Belleville—from original 19th-century façades near the Reformed Dutch Church of Second River to 1950s two-families in the Riverside neighbourhood. Old mortar breaks down, bricks spall due to freeze/thaw, and improper patching can ruin the look. We remove damaged bricks, use matching brick units and install new mortar (often Type N for older brick) so the repair blends invisibly.
Stone Veneer Installation
Want to freshen the exterior of a mid-century Belleville home in the Manor section? Our crew installs stone veneer that complements your home’s style. We prep the substrate, install metal lath and the proper mortar bed, and ensure correct drainage behind the veneer so you avoid moisture issues on Belleville’s clay-rich soils.
Chimney Repair & Rebuilding
Many of the older Belleville homes we work on—especially in the Upper Roseville neighborhood—have chimneys suffering from spalling crowns, cracked flue liners or loose bricks. We replace damaged masonry, install proper flashing, rebuild crowns, and restore structural integrity. Proper flashing installation and using breathable mortar prevents future leaks and chimney leaks that often show after snowy winters.
Repointing / Tuckpointing
Repointing is essential in Belleville’s climate. The freeze-thaw cycles push moisture into the joints; north-facing walls near Branch Brook Park are especially vulnerable. We clean out deteriorated mortar, apply new mortar that matches the original (often Type N or a breathable lime-based mix), and seal joints to extend lifespan.
Concrete Patios & Walkways
We build concrete patios and walkways designed for Belleville’s seasonal changes—from snow to summer heat. We ensure proper slab thickness, expansion joints, and drainage to avoid cracking or heaving. Whether it’s a new patio behind a home in Essex Park or a walkway in the Manor section, we deliver durable, functional outdoor surfaces.
Steps (Front & Back)
The front steps of many Belleville homes still show their original brick or stone from the early 1900s. We repair or rebuild steps, matching existing materials, installing proper treads, risers and ensuring compliance with municipal code for height and width in Belleville’s building department.
Retaining Walls
On sloped lots in Belleville—especially near the Passaic River corridor—soil pressure and drainage become serious issues. We excavate, install proper drainage (perforated pipe, Geo-textile fabric), then build retaining walls using segmental blocks or natural stone. We’ve installed retaining walls on Bellevue’s clay soils that expand and contract with moisture.
Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
Foundation settlement, brick cracks and moisture issues are common in Belleville due to the mix of old masonry foundations and expansive soils. We inspect, underpin or repair foundations as needed, install drainage systems, and apply waterproof coatings so your home remains dry and stable.
Emergency Masonry Repairs (24/7)
When a chimney collapses, brickwork gives way, or a retaining wall fails after heavy rainfall in Belleville, you need a contractor that responds fast. Our team is available 24/7 for emergencies—just call (862) 232-6765 and John will coordinate the crew to act swiftly.

Common Masonry Problems in Belleville Homes
Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
Belleville experiences numerous freeze/thaw cycles each winter. Moisture enters mortar joints, freezes, expands, and cracks surrounding brick—especially on north-facing walls near Branch Brook Park. Homeowners may notice crumbling mortar, spalling brick or white efflorescence. We tackle this by repointing with breathable mortar, replacing spalled bricks, improving drainage and sealing behind the surface. Fall is the ideal time for repair before the winter freeze worsens damage.
Expansive Soil & Foundation Shifting
Many homes in Belleville sit on clay-rich soils that expand when wet and contract when dry. That pressure can cause diagonal cracks, uneven floors, gaps around windows, or cracked exterior brick. We inspect soil action, underpin foundations if necessary, install drainage systems and fix the brick/masonry consequences.
Historic Brick Façade Wear & Mismatch Repairs
Victorian and early-20th-century homes in neighborhoods like Silver Lake and Essex Park often have original brick and unique stone details. Wrong repairs—using hard cement mortar or mismatched bricks—can cause further damage. We match brick units, use Type N mortar or lime-based mix, and respect the original craft so your home retains its character and performs well.
Seasonal Moisture & Drainage Issues
Heavy rains in spring and summer plus Belleville’s soil type can lead to water infiltration behind exterior stone veneer or in basement walls. Signs include damp interior walls, mortar deterioration, or moss growth on steps and walkways. We ensure proper flashing, install drainage behind retaining walls and patios, and repair affected masonry before the moisture leads to bigger structural issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About Masonry in Belleville
How much does masonry repair cost in Belleville?
Costs depend on the size and complexity of the job, materials, and soil/structural conditions. See our pricing section above. We offer a free estimate so you know exactly what you’re signing up for.
Do I need a permit for masonry work in Belleville?
Yes. Many masonry projects—involving structural changes, new retaining walls, chimney rebuilds or foundation work—require permits through Belleville Township. We handle permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
How long does brick repointing last in New Jersey weather?
With proper materials (e.g., breathable Type N mortar, correctly installed flashing and drainage) repointed joints typically last 15-30 years, depending on exposure. The right technique extends life significantly.
What’s the best time of year for masonry repairs?
Spring and fall are ideal—temperatures are moderate, and we avoid extreme heat or freeze/thaw conditions. Repairs in late fall help prevent winter damage. Summer work is fine; winter jobs are possible but weather delays more likely.
How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
Look for signs: cracked or missing mortar, spalling brick, leaning chimney, water stains on interior ceiling, a damaged crown or cap, or visible gaps between bricks. If you spot any of these, call (862) 232-6765—our 24/7 emergency service is ready if needed.
Can you match historic brick in Belleville’s older homes?
Yes. We’re experienced with Belleville’s older row homes and Victorian buildings. We source brick that matches colour, texture and size, and use mortar mixes (often Type N or lime-based) suitable for historic masonry.
How long does a typical masonry project take?
It depends on scope. A simple brick repair might take a day; a full patio or retaining wall project could take several days to a week. We provide a timeline in your estimate and stick to it as weather allows.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
We accept cash, check and credit cards. For larger projects, we can discuss payment schedules. Contact us at info@eproconstruction.us for more on financing options.
What’s included in your free estimate?
A site visit, inspection of existing masonry, written scope of work, materials list, timeline, itemised pricing, and no obligation. We give you a clear picture before any commitment.
Are you insured and licensed in Belleville?
Yes. We are fully insured and hold New Jersey Contractor License #13VH12693500. We pull all necessary permits, follow code, and carry liability and workers’ coverage.

Call (862) 232-6765—our emergency line is open 24/7. We’ll respond swiftly to structural failures, chimney collapse risk, retaining-wall failure, and other urgent masonry issues.
How do I maintain my masonry after repair?
