Cracked walls, loose bricks, and aging structures demand professional brickwork services. Our contractors handle residential and commercial projects, from brick repair, installation, and pointing to custom masonry, restoration, and outdoor patio construction, delivering durable, visually appealing, long-lasting brickwork solutions.
Check around your neighborhood. Those stand-out houses that are solid and timeless almost always have great brick features. Bricks are tough. If laid right, they may last over a century. But done poorly or when age gets the best of the mortar, it becomes a major structural headache. You want to ignore crumbling cement. Or do you need proper Brickwork services to make it solid again? We provide the best services for brick repair at R Luis Construction. We lay a straight line, and we fix stuff that breaks. We build things that last. Talk about how we can improve your property.
It is not just about aesthetics, though a good brick wall looks fantastic. It is really about water and gravity. Your weakest cement joints let water soak right into the wall. When winter comes, that trapped water expands and blows the brick face off. It makes a cascade effect. Lose one brick and your wall collapses. You start to see step cracks the size of staircases down your siding. If you don’t fix it, eventually gravity pulls the wall down. Quality bricklaying stops water from getting in. It holds the structure together so you never have to worry about your front yard bursting open.
Your house is your pride and joy. If the brick steps leading up to your front door are sinking into the mud or cracking in half, it is dangerous, and it looks terrible. We offer complete residential brickwork services to fix up the outside of your house. We rebuild leaning retaining walls, fix up the cracked bricks around your garage, and handle all kinds of outdoor brickwork services to make your yard look amazing. One of the best things you can do for your backyard is proper brick patio construction. Imagine a level, patterned brick patio for those summer barbecues. We dig out dirt, lay a stable gravel base so it won’t sink and build a patio for you to enjoy for decades.
If you own a business, your customers see your building from outside first. It makes your storefront look drab if you have missing bricks or giant cracks running up the side. We don’t just work on houses. We provide heavy-duty commercial brickwork services. We understand that business owners have crazy schedules. We coordinate our work so your customers cannot block your customers from getting in the front door. Whether we repair a huge brick facade or build out a masonry sign by the road, we do it fast so your business can continue running.
Don’t hire a random dude who pulls a trowel out of the back of a pickup truck. It takes math and science to lay bricks. Too much mortar will dry chalky and wash away in the rain if you mix it too much. In a year, your foundation footing will lean over by half an inch. Hire real brickwork contractors. That is what we do at R Luis Construction. We understand local building codes. We get the permits. So you take no risk if anything weird happens on the job site, we are insured. We have the correct tools, the scaffolding and the experience to get the job done right.
What if you have a historic home with bricks that are a hundred years old? You don’t want to tear them down, but the mortar is turning to absolute dust. We specialize in delicate brick restoration services. We use special grinders to carefully cut out the old, dead mortar without scratching or breaking the original antique bricks. Once the bad stuff is out, we provide incredibly detailed brick pointing services (a lot of folks call this tuckpointing). We push fresh, high-strength mortar back into the joints. If a few bricks break completely, our brick repair services include replacing the broken ones with matching replacements so the wall looks unified and original.
We treat every single job like we are building it for our own families. Our brick masonry services are all about extreme durability. We don’t pile bricks on top of bricks. The dirt cannot push over heavy steel-reinforced retaining walls. Proper weep holes are installed at the bottom of the walls so if water gets behind the brick it can drain back out instead of pooling and freezing. And we build it completely from the ground up.
Building a brand new wall from scratch is a big deal. You can’t just slap some cement on the grass and start building. For all of our brick wall construction projects, the magic happens underground. We dig deep trenches and pour solid concrete footings. That concrete base is what actually holds the weight of the massive brick wall. Once the footing cures hard, we begin our brick installation services. We use levels and string lines on every single row to make absolutely sure the wall is dead straight and perfectly plumb.
Sometimes you don’t just want a boring, flat red wall. You want something with a little bit of character. We love doing custom brickwork solutions. If you have a specific vision in your head, we can build it. Here are a few custom things we can put together for you:
The best mason in the world could use cheap materials and the wall would fail. We are against using cheap stuff. We get high-density, fired clay bricks that will stand the cold winter weather without snapping. For the cement we use professional-grade Portland cement with clean sharp sand. We even spray-tint the mortar. If we are repairing a 1950s wall, the cement is not bright white anymore. We add dyes so the new repair matches the older, weathered parts of the wall.
R Luis Construction is ready to get to work. It is about being truthful, working hard, and cleaning up after ourselves. Call us now or send us an email for an appointment. Look at your house & get your free quote sorted!
Yes, we do it all. New brick retaining walls, custom outdoor patios, mailboxes and repairing crumbling front steps are all we do. And we fix everything from cutting out old, sandy mortar and replacing it to swapping out single broken bricks, so your house doesn’t look like it has a missing tooth.
It all depends totally on the size of the project. Just swapping out a few cracked bricks and pointing a small section of a porch might take a day. You get a timeline before we start.
Yes, and it usually is cheaper than tearing the wall down. So long as the wall is not actively bending over and falling down, we usually can grind out the dead mortar around the joints and pack some new cement in there. It binds the bricks together and makes the wall waterproof once more.
Absolutely. There’s no need to limit yourself to drawing straight lines anymore. We lay the brick in zigzag patterns for your patio, arches over your windows, or custom outdoor fire pits. Want a photo you saw online and want it recreated for you? Send it to us.
If needed, we use heavy, high quality fired clay or concrete bricks. For the mortar we use a commercial-grade Portland cement, lime and clean masonry sand mix. Whenever we build something that holds back a lot of dirt, we also use heavy steel rebar inside the wall so it doesn’t buckle under the pressure.
