Why Haskell Homeowners Trust E Pro Construction
Because of our proximity and deep experience, we respond quicker than distant firms. From Ryerson Avenue up toward Doty Road or across Wanaque’s hillsides, we’ve tackled masonry problems in every Haskell neighborhood. We know the quirks of Passaic County’s permit system and have pulled permits through the Wanaque Building Department dozens of times under our NJ license #13VH12693500.
John personally field-checks new jobs. He often meets neighbors on site to discuss tricky projects. Our local permit know-how ensures we avoid delays. Many homes in Haskell were built mid-20th century with mixed brick and stone veneer—matching materials is tricky here. We source brick locally that mimics what was used in 1950s ranches or 1970s split levels along Ringwood Avenue.
Haskell’s soil, especially near the reservoir edges and hills, tends to shift in wet seasons — you’ll see mortar joints crack, stone veneers loosen, or retaining walls bow. We design with drainage and expansion joints to counter that. Homeowners frequently comment on our “fast response, clean work, and fair price.” We back every job with a 1-year guarantee.
Emergencies don’t keep office hours — we offer 24/7 emergency masonry repair. If a chimney crumbles after a heavy winter, call (862) 232-6765, and we’ll often be at your property within hours (usually same day).

Our Masonry Services in Haskell
In Haskell and surrounding Wanaque areas, our masonry services cover a full spectrum of repair and installation work tuned to local conditions.
We handle brick repair & replacement throughout Haskell, from homes near Doty Road up to sections by Van Slyke Castle Ruins (just outside Wanaque) and along Ridgewood Street. The older colonials often use brick sizes and profiles no longer manufactured — we salvage matching units or use custom-cut replacements. We use Type N mortar for repointing in historic facades to maintain breathability and avoid damage from stiff mortar.
We install stone veneer on facades or accent walls for homes near reservoir slopes, where “rustic stone” blends into the natural terrain. We hand-seal behind the veneer and set proper flashing to prevent water infiltration.
For chimney repair & rebuilding, we repair cracked flue tiles, rebuild deteriorated stacks, and re-cast masonry crowns. On homes close to municipal views of the reservoir, we’ve restored chimneys visible from the shoreline. Proper flashing and counter-flashing are critical here to avoid leaks that damage interior walls.
We perform repointing / tuckpointing across Haskell’s older neighborhoods—especially in homes built in the 1960s and 1970s along internal roads. When mortar fails, water penetrates, freezes, and fractures brick edges. We cut out failing mortar and repoint with matching color and composition, restoring appearance and structural integrity.
Our concrete patios & walkways get extra attention in Haskell because clay-rich soils shift. We excavate, compact, and pour reinforced concrete with control joints. Around Addice Park and Memorial Field, we’ve laid walkways that link local trails and survived heavy precipitation cycles.
We rebuild steps (front & back) — many mid-century ranches and split-level homes have cracked treads or risers. We match the brick or stone of existing facades, ensure proper slope and drainage, and anchor embedded steel as needed.
When hillside lots demand retaining walls, we build gravity or reinforced block walls. In Haskell’s sloped sections, we excavate to firm material, add drainage pipes and gravel backfill, and tie walls to anchors if soil is weak. On reservoir-adjacent lots we design to handle saturated soils during storms.
Our foundation repair & waterproofing work applies to older homes with moisture intrusion or shifting foundations. We install interior drains, waterproof membranes, and re-strip and mortar any subgrade brick or block. Around homes near MacMillan Dam or reservoir slopes, managing hydrostatic pressure is key.
Last, we stand ready for emergency masonry repairs (24/7). We’ve responded to collapsing walls, fallen chimneys from snow load, or storm-damaged stone veneers. We stabilize first, then plan permanent repair. John often arrives himself in emergencies.
Every service includes structural insight, matching materials, and awareness of Haskell’s freeze-thaw cycles.
What Masonry Services Cost in Haskell, NJ
Masonry costs in Haskell vary by scope, materials, and site conditions. Below are rough ranges to give you orientation:
- Brick Repointing: $20–$40 per square foot (depends on mortar color match, depth of joint)
- Chimney Repair: $800–$3,500 (minor patching vs full rebuild)
- Stone Veneer Installation: $25–$50 per square foot
- Concrete Patio / Walkway: $10–$25 per sq ft depending on finish and complexity
- Steps Reconstruction: $500–$2,000+ depending on size and material
- Retaining Walls: $25–$75 per square foot of wall face depending on height, reinforcement
- Foundation Waterproofing / Repair: $1,500–$7,000+ depending on extent
These prices are estimates only. Variables in Haskell that affect cost include the soil slope, matching vintage brick or stone, access constraints near reservoir slopes, and permit/inspection fees from Wanaque. We always provide a free detailed estimate with itemized scope, no hidden fees. Call (862) 232-6765 to schedule yours.
Common Masonry Problems in Haskell Homes
Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
In Haskell and Wanaque area, winters bring 30–40 freeze-thaw cycles annually, with lows often near 19–25 °F. usclimatedata.com+1 Water seeps into deteriorated mortar joints, freezes overnight, and cracks adjacent brick faces. In north-facing walls or chimneys you’ll see crumbling mortar, spalling faces, or white “salt” efflorescence. We remove damaged mortar and repoint with breathable Type N mortar to allow moisture egress.
Settling / Soil Movement
Haskell’s terrain, especially near the southern reservoir edge and hills toward Bellot Mountain, has shifting clay and variation in soil compaction. Retaining walls or patios built without proper base or drainage will lean or crack. We install drains, compaction, gravel base, and tie-backs to counter movement.
Leaking Chimneys & Flashing Failure
Over decades, flashing and counter-flashing fail. Rain running down the roof may seep into chimney brick or attic walls. Homeowners notice staining, peeling paint, or interior damp spots near chimney breast. We rebuild flashing, install storm collars, and waterproof crowns to end leaks.
Deteriorated Mortar in Mid-Century Homes
Many Haskell ranches and split-level homes used mortar blends that degrade faster. As joints erode, bricks wobble or shift. Without intervention, whole walls may bulge. Repointing with correct mortar strength and profile restores strength and appearance.
Seasonal Drainage & Water Intrusion
Heavy rainfall (annual precipitation ~48 inches) njmls.com+1 saturates soils. Without proper grading or drainage around foundations, water can compromise brick facades or basement wall edges. We design soakaways, French drains, and slope corrections to protect masonry.
Timely repair is essential—small cracks left through one winter grow into serious structural failures.

Paving the way with happy and satisfied customers
Serving Haskell Since 1997
We’ve been your local masonry partner since December 1997. In Haskell’s neighborhoods by Doty Road, Ridgewood, and near Van Slyke Castle Ruins, you’ll find our work—chimney restorations, brick facades, stone patios. We’ve restored brick chimneys in view of the Wanaque Reservoir and reinforced retaining walls on steep lots north of Bellot Mountain.
We know the building inspectors in Wanaque. We know that some lots near the reservoir have saturated soils and need extra drainage. We source matching brick and stone from regional suppliers in Passaic and Bergen counties to preserve the original character. Over time, locals have told us: “We saw your truck twice in our block last year”—and that means reliability.
These reviews reflect what we hear often from Haskell homeowners: quick response, quality work, and transparent pricing. We maintain a 4.9-star rating on Google from 100+ verified customers across Haskell and Northern New Jersey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Masonry in Haskell
Q: How much does masonry repair cost in Haskell?
A: See our pricing section above. Costs depend hugely on scale, materials, soil conditions, and access. Our free estimate provides the customized cost for your project.
Q: Do I need a permit for masonry work in Haskell / Wanaque?
A: Yes. Many masonry jobs—chimney rebuilds, foundation work, structural wall changes—require permits with the Wanaque building department. We handle permit applications and inspections for you.
Q: How long does brick repointing last in New Jersey weather?
A: With proper mortar and workmanship, repointed joints can last 15–30 years—even under Haskell’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Q: When is the best time of year for masonry repairs?
A: Spring (April–June) and fall (September–October) are ideal. Winter is risky due to freezing, summer heat can accelerate setting too quickly. We plan around weather.
Q: How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
A: Look for cracked or missing mortar, leaning stack, flue tile cracks, water stains on interior, loose bricks, or failing crown. If you see any, call (862) 232-6765 for inspection.
Q: Can you match historic brick in Haskell’s older homes?
A: Yes. We’ve matched brick for homes built in the 1950s–1970s and earlier. We salvage locally or custom-order to replicate dimensions, texture, and color.
Q: How long does a typical masonry project take?
A: Small repairs (chimney patching, repointing) often take 1–2 days. Larger works (retaining walls, foundation waterproofing) may take a week or more, depending on inspections and weather.
Q: Do you offer financing or payment plans?
A: We accept check, credit card, and may partner with third-party financing for larger projects. Ask at estimate time.
Q: What’s included in your free estimate?
A: Site visit, full inspection, photos, material selection, itemized scope, time schedule, permit cost, and warranty terms. No obligation.
Q: Are you insured and licensed in Haskell?
A: Yes. NJ License #13VH12693500. Fully insured. All local permits and inspections pulled under our credentials.
Q: What if I have a masonry emergency?
A: We offer 24/7 emergency response. Whether collapsed chimney, cracked wall, or storm damage, call us and we aim to respond the same day.
Q: How do I maintain masonry after repair?
A: Annual inspection, gentle cleaning, timely sealing if needed, keeping gutters and downspouts clear, controlling vegetation near walls, and prompt repair of hairline cracks.
