Our Masonry Services in Bloomfield
We provide comprehensive masonry services throughout Bloomfield—covering everything from a simple step repair to full foundation work—tailored to local homes in Brookdale, Watsessing, Oakview and beyond.
We handle brick repair and replacement from Halcyon Park to downtown Bloomfield. The older brick on many homes has weakened mortar joints and spalled faces; we remove damaged bricks, install matching units and repoint using Type N or appropriate lime-based mortar so the work marries the original construction.
When a home’s façade needs a revamped look or a side-entry is being updated, we install stone veneer. On a 1950s Cape near Bloomfield Avenue we applied ventilated veneer over house wrap and metal lath, using natural stone that complements the original brick. Proper moisture barrier and drainage prevent long-term issues.
Our chimney repair and rebuilding service is common in Watsessing and Halcyon Park where a shift in foundation or high winds at Brookdale Park cause flashing failure. We inspect flue liners, replace cracked crowns, install correct step flashing and rebuild stacks as needed—so leaks don’t return.
Repointing/tuckpointing is especially relevant for homes built in the 1880s–1920s around Brookdale and Halcyon Park. Traditional mortar loses bond and allows water intrusion. We cut out deteriorated joints to the correct depth, rinse properly and repoint with mortar that matches in strength and colour—ensuring longevity.
For concrete patios & walkways, we address Bloomfield’s mixed soil and drainage patterns. We compact sub-base, pour 4–6″ slabs with control joints, ensure slope away from the house and embed expansion strips so seasons don’t cause cracking.
Front- and back-yard steps need to integrate with original stoops and masonry walls. We offer brick riser + bluestone tread combinations or full concrete sets, installed to meet code rise/run and non-slip finish—especially around older homes near Park Avenue or Franklin Street.
Many lots in Bloomfield have grade changes—our retaining walls serve a functional and aesthetic role. On a steep lot off Demarest Avenue we excavated, installed drainage pipe and geogrid, then built a segmental block wall with stone cap. We know that Bloomfield’s clay and water table demand proper drainage to avoid wall failure.
We also offer foundation repair & waterproofing. Basement cracks, water stains and shifting walls are common when soil settles around older homes near Watsessing Park. We use interior drainage systems, exterior membranes, sump pumps and underpinning when needed.
When masonry issues strike unexpectedly, our emergency masonry repairs (24/7) save the day. From chimney collapse to storm-damaged brick walls, just call (862) 232-6765—John will coordinate immediate response.

Common Masonry Problems in Bloomfield Homes
Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
Bloomfield sees significant freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters deteriorated mortar joints, freezes, expands, and causes spalling and cracking—especially on north and west walls near Brookdale Park. Homeowners may see crumbling mortar, white efflorescence or loose bricks. We correct this by repointing with breathable mortar and addressing drainage so moisture doesn’t accumulate.
Soil Shift & Foundation Movement
With Bloomfield’s mix of clay and fill soils, older homes may experience wall cracks, uneven floors or gaps around windows. This often impacts brick walls and retaining structures. We inspect soils, install proper drainage, underpin as necessary and restore masonry so the structure remains stable.
Historic Mortar Mismatch & Un-Breathable Repairs
Homes in Halcyon Park built between 1905–1930 (recognized in the historic register) feature soft masonry designed to breathe. Modern cement-rich repairs trap moisture and accelerate failure. We use compatible mortar mixes (Type N or lime-based) that honour the building’s original intent. Wikipedia+1
Water Intrusion and drainage issues
Properties near parks or river corridors in Bloomfield may suffer water pooling or sub-grade drainage problems. Signs: damp basements, cracking patios, leaning walls. We address the root cause—installing drainage, proper grading and rebuilding with the right materials—so problems stop at the source.
