Our Masonry Services in Perth Amboy
We handle complete brick repair and replacement throughout Perth Amboy, from Spa Springs to the Waterfront. Historic brick needs matching textures and color tones; we source materials that mirror original construction. Our team grinds out damaged mortar and repoints with Type N mortar to retain authentic appearance.
Stone veneer installation adds value to homes along Hall Avenue and in Harbortown. We use natural and manufactured stone to create weather-resistant finishes that hold up to coastal humidity.
For chimney repair and rebuilding, we inspect cracks, rebuild crowns, and install proper flashing to stop leaks. Many older homes near City Hall Park still have original chimneys — we restore them without changing their historic look.
Our repointing and tuckpointing services revive aging mortar joints that have eroded under salt exposure. This prevents water from entering walls and extends brick life for decades.
We design and build concrete patios and walkways that fit Perth Amboy’s climate. Proper grading and drainage are key — we use 3,500-psi concrete with fiber reinforcement for durability.
Front and rear steps are a specialty. We replace cracked concrete or brick steps with custom treads that match existing materials, improving safety and curb appeal.
We build retaining walls for homes on sloped lots near Outerbridge Crossing. By excavating and installing drainage systems behind walls, we stop soil movement and water pressure that can damage foundations.
Our team also handles foundation repair and waterproofing. We seal cracks, install weep holes, and apply rubberized membranes to protect against ground moisture.
When storms hit and walls collapse, our 24/7 emergency masonry repair service restores safety fast — we’ve rebuilt chimneys and stairs overnight after severe freezes.

Common Masonry Problems in Perth Amboy Homes
Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
With more than 40 freeze-thaw cycles each winter, water enters joints, freezes, and cracks brick. Homes near the waterfront see crumbling mortar and spalling. We use breathable mortar to release moisture and prevent future damage.
Salt Air Corrosion
Coastal winds carry salt that erodes mortar and metal lintels. You’ll notice white stains ( efflorescence ). We clean and seal brick with vapor-permeable coatings to block salt intrusion.
Foundation Settling
Older homes near Spa Springs develop cracks as clay soil shifts. We inject structural epoxy and install drainage to stabilize foundations.
Chimney Leaks
Missing flashing and cracked crowns let rain in, damaging interiors. We rebuild crowns and install flashing systems that direct water away from brick.
Aging Mortar in Historic Homes
The State Street Historic District’s 100-year-old brickwork often has powdery mortar. We repoint using lime-based mixes that preserve structure without trapping moisture.
