LLiving this close to Berkshire Valley and Bowling Green Golf Club, we’ve seen the same pattern: 1960s–1990s homes showing mortar wear, cracked foundations, and chimneys that need repointing. Being local means fast response — usually within 24 hours — and true familiarity with Oak Ridge’s building codes. We’ve pulled permits through Oak Ridge’s building department dozens of times and work closely with inspectors to keep projects moving smoothly.
John, our owner and founder (NJ License #13VH12693500), still answers most calls himself.

We source materials to match Oak Ridge’s mix of brick Colonials and split-levels — from Type N mortar for historic repairs to modern stone veneers that stand up to the freeze-thaw cycle off Echo Lake. It’s how we maintain our 4.9-star rating from homeowners across Morris and Passaic Counties.

OOur Masonry Services in Oak Ridge
We handle everything brick, stone, and concrete — from lakefront chimneys to driveway retaining walls on hilly lots.
Brick Repair & Replacement: Across Oak Ridge’s older neighborhoods like Ridge Road and Paradise Road, we restore aged brickwork with matching mortar and proper joint profiling. Type N mortar lets the walls breathe and prevents future spalling.
Stone Veneer Installation: Homes near Lake Swannanoa benefit from our custom stone veneers that add durability and curb appeal. We source from regional quarries to match local stone tones.
Chimney Repair & Rebuilding: High winds off the reservoir and heavy snow damage chimneys fast. We rebuild crowns, install new flashing, and use proper flue liners to prevent water intrusion.
Repointing / Tuckpointing: Freeze-thaw cycles cause mortar to flake and loosen. We cut and repoint with matching mortar and tool the joints for a clean, authentic finish that lasts 20–30 years.
Concrete Patios & Walkways: From Echo Lake to Berkshire Valley, we pour reinforced concrete that won’t heave under Oak Ridge’s clay soil. Stamped and colored finishes available.
Steps (Front & Back): We rebuild and repoint masonry steps with reinforced treads and proper pitch for drainage. Perfect for the sloped entries around Breakneck Road.
Retaining Walls: Erosion is a common problem on Oak Ridge hillsides. We excavate and build retaining walls with proper footings and weep drains to keep yards stable year-round.
Foundation Repair & Waterproofing: Groundwater near Oak Ridge Reservoir can seep through older block foundations. We seal, reinforce, and install drainage systems to protect your home’s base.
Emergency Masonry Repairs (24/7): Storm damage or chimney collapse? Call (862) 232-6765 any hour. We respond fast with temporary stabilization and permanent repairs.

Common Masonry Problems in Oak Ridge Homes
Freeze-Thaw Brick Damage
Oak Ridge faces 40 or more freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Moisture in mortar expands overnight, cracking brick faces and crowns. We replace spalled brick and repoint with breathable mortar before winter returns.
Foundation Cracks on Hilly Lots
Homes along Berkshire Valley and Paradise Road sit on slopes. Soil settling and drainage issues create hairline to structural cracks. We inject epoxy and reinforce foundations with drainage solutions tailored to clay soils.
Chimney Deterioration from Wind Exposure
Open areas by the reservoir get harsh winds. Mortar crown failure lets water in, rusting flues. We rebuild crowns, seal caps, and install proper flashing to stop leaks.
Efflorescence and Moisture Staining
High humidity around lakes causes white salt deposits on brick. We clean with acid-free solutions and seal with breathable silane/siloxane coatings.
Heaving Walkways and Steps
Freeze-thaw and poor drainage make concrete heave and tilt. We replace slabs with proper base and expansion joints for longevity.
