Our Masonry Services in Dundee
We handle all masonry work across the Dundee section — brick, stone, concrete, and block — with techniques tailored to the neighborhood’s riverside environment.
Our brick repair and replacement work stretches from the Athenia border to River Drive. Many 1950s homes here have bricks that absorbed decades of moisture. We remove spalled units, replace them with closely matched stock, and repoint the joints using mortar that breathes.
Stone veneer installation adds modern curb appeal while staying moisture-resistant. We’ve installed natural and cultured stone on entryways near Dundee Park — anchored to proper cement board with vapor barriers to prevent efflorescence.
Chimney repair and rebuilding are crucial in Dundee, where high winds and freeze–thaw cycles take their toll. We reconstruct crowns, add new flashing, and install stainless steel liners for better draft and safety. Proper flashing is key to keeping rain from seeping behind the brick.
For repointing and tuckpointing, we grind out deteriorated joints, clean each bed, and refill them with mortar that matches both color and texture. It’s a technical job, but it stops water before it can freeze and crack the brick face.
Concrete patios and walkways are another specialty. We pour with air-entrained mixes to resist winter salt and use steel reinforcement for strength. Every walkway is sloped correctly for drainage — critical near the river’s high water table.
Our steps — front and back — combine safety and style. We’ve rebuilt dozens of brick stoops on Main Avenue using cast-stone treads that match Dundee’s historic look.
Retaining walls here require real engineering. Dundee’s clay soil holds water — so without drainage, walls push outward. We excavate, install perforated pipe and gravel backfill, then rebuild with concrete block or natural stone veneer for long-term stability.
Foundation repair and waterproofing protect Dundee basements from the Passaic’s groundwater. We seal cracks with hydraulic cement, apply elastomeric coatings, and install interior French drains where needed.
For sudden damage — like a fallen chimney after a storm — our emergency masonry crew is available 24/7 at (862) 232-6765.
What Masonry Services Cost in Dundee, NJ
Masonry pricing in Dundee depends on project size, material choice, and site access. Typical ranges:
Brick Repointing: $12 – $25 per sq ft — cost varies by wall height and mortar condition.
Chimney Repair: $900 – $3,500 — from crown patching to full rebuild.

Patios & Walkways: $4,000 – $12,000 — depends on size and drainage needs.
Foundation Waterproofing: $3,500 – $9,500 — depth and wall length are key factors.
Retaining Walls: $75 – $150 per linear ft — soil conditions and height change pricing.
Dundee’s unique conditions influence costs: high moisture levels near the river, tight property lines limiting equipment access, and older brick that requires matching. We offer free, no-pressure estimates after on-site inspection.
Prices shown are estimates only. Final costs depend on your property’s exact needs. Every estimate includes a detailed written scope of work.
Common Masonry Problems in Dundee Homes
1. Freeze–Thaw Brick Damage
Dundee’s riverside location means more freeze–thaw cycles. Moisture enters brick joints, expands overnight, and chips the surface. We replace damaged units and use breathable mortar that lets moisture escape naturally.
2. Efflorescence and White Staining
Mineral deposits appear on walls near the Passaic. We clean them with mild acid solutions, improve drainage, and apply silane sealants to prevent recurrence.
3. Foundation Shifts from Clay Soil
Clay under Dundee homes expands with water and shrinks when dry. That movement creates cracks in block walls. We stabilize foundations with epoxy injection and add drainage to relieve pressure.
4. Aging Mortar in Historic Brickwork
Older mortars crumble after decades of moisture. We hand-grind and repoint using low-cement mixes that match the original texture and color.
5. Chimney Leaks After Heavy Rain
Water from the river valley’s storms finds every weak spot. We install new flashing, rebuild crowns, and add chimney caps to keep everything dry.
