Our Masonry Services in Maplewood
We deliver a full suite of masonry services in Maplewood — tailored to the neighborhood’s signature homes, yards, and challenges.
Brick Repair & Replacement
We handle complete brick repair and replacement throughout Maplewood — from the Valley Street corridor to the Springfield Avenue area. Many Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes here require matching historic face-brick and compatible mortar. We use Type N mortar for historic brick repointing to match permeability and avoid damage. We repair spalling, cracked, or crumbling brickwork caused by moisture infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles.
Stone Veneer Installation
For homeowners looking to update front facades or fireplaces, we install stone veneer that complements Maplewood’s architectural style — especially on Tudor Revival homes in neighborhoods like College Hill. We ensure proper drainage behind the veneer, tie-ins with flashing, and weep holes to prevent moisture buildup.
Chimney Repair & Rebuilding
Maplewood’s steep roofs, heavy winter snow, and freeze-thaw conditions frequently affect chimneys near Memorial Park or the train station slope. We repair cracked crowns, install flashing, rebuild damaged stacks, and repoint chimneys with proper mortar mixes. We also ensure all work meets local code and integrate chimney caps and waterproofing where needed.
Repointing / Tuckpointing
Many homes in Maplewood show deteriorated mortar joints — especially on north-facing walls or low-exposure façades. We carefully remove failing mortar, confirm the brick’s condition, and repoint with mortar that matches the original strength and color. This prevents water penetration and extends the masonry’s lifespan.
Concrete Patios & Walkways
From Maplewood Village to Linden Avenue, we build and repair concrete patios and walkways designed to last. We consider Maplewood’s clay soils and rainfall, installing proper sub-base, expansion joints, and drainage slopes to prevent cracking and pooling.
Steps (Front & Back)
Many Maplewood homes feature brick or bluestone steps, porch entries, or rear yard transitions. We repair or rebuild steps using matching materials, proper riser-tread proportions, and ensure code-compliant handrails. From a Colonial front porch to a Craftsman side entrance, we tailor every detail.
Retaining Walls
Hillsides near South Mountain or properties with backyard slopes often require retaining walls. We excavate, install drainage systems, and build walls using reinforced masonry or stone that accommodate Maplewood’s soil conditions and rainfall runoff. This prevents bulging, erosion, or collapse.
Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
Homes in Maplewood sit on expansive clay soils that shift with moisture. We inspect foundations for settlement or cracking, excavate if needed, and install waterproofing membranes or drainage systems. Our repairs integrate seamlessly with your exterior masonry.
Emergency Masonry Repairs (24/7)
When masonry failures happen — a leaning chimney, a cracked wall, or a collapsed section — time matters. We provide 24/7 emergency service for Maplewood homeowners, assess the damage, and stabilize the area immediately. 📞 Call (862) 232-6765 anytime for urgent help.

Common Masonry Problems in Maplewood Homes
Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
Maplewood experiences dozens of freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Moisture enters mortar joints, freezes, and expands — leading to spalling and cracked bricks. Homeowners notice efflorescence, crumbling mortar, and loose bricks. We fix this with breathable Type N mortar and sealing before winter.
Settlement & Foundation Shifting
Clay soil expansion and contraction cause foundation cracks and uneven walls. Signs include stair-step cracks and bowed foundations. We reinforce with drainage corrections, masonry stitching, and structural stabilization.
Historic Brick & Masonry Mismatch
Older Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival homes require specific brick sizes, mortar colors, and joint details. Using the wrong materials can damage walls. We source matching brick and replicate original joints so the repair blends seamlessly.
Poor Drainage & Soil Erosion
Properties near South Mountain or the Rahway River often face drainage issues behind patios or retaining walls. We correct this with grading, French drains, and weep holes, ensuring long-term durability.
Chimney Deterioration & Weather Damage
Older chimneys often show cracked crowns, spalled bricks, or leaning stacks. We provide chimney rebuilds, install stainless steel flashing and caps, and repoint joints to restore safety and appearance.
