Masonry Contractor serving Little Rock, AR

Here in Little Rock, we have beautiful historic homes throughout Hillcrest, Quapaw Quarter, and the Heights neighborhoods. Many of these properties feature original brick that is over a century old. When you own one of these homes, you need a mason who understands how to work with older masonry materials. The bricks used in the early 1900s were softer and more porous than modern bricks. They require special mortar mixes that match the original composition and strength.

We have restored dozens of historic properties in Little Rock, including several listed on the National Register. Our approach respects the original craftsmanship while ensuring the structure remains sound for decades to come. We carefully match the mortar color to blend seamlessly with your existing work. Whether you need tuckpointing services for your Craftsman bungalow or foundation repairs for your Victorian home, we bring the expertise your property deserves. Many Little Rock homeowners call us when other contractors say the work is too complex or specialized.

Arkansas weather is hard on older masonry. Our hot, humid summers followed by freeze-thaw cycles in winter cause mortar to deteriorate faster than in more stable climates. We see this especially in north-facing walls that stay damp longer. If you notice crumbling mortar or gaps between bricks, do not wait. Water damage accelerates quickly once it starts. Let us assess your historic masonry and recommend the right restoration approach. We work carefully to preserve the character of your home while protecting it from further damage.

Chimneys take a beating in Little Rock. Summer heat causes the brick to expand. Winter freezing causes it to contract. Add in heavy spring rains and you have the perfect conditions for chimney deterioration. We see leaning chimneys, cracked crowns, damaged flashing, and crumbling mortar joints on homes throughout the city. Many homeowners do not realize their chimney needs repair until they see water stains on the ceiling or notice bricks falling onto the roof.

A leaning chimney is a serious safety hazard that needs immediate attention. This usually happens when the foundation beneath the chimney settles or when the chimney was not properly tied into the house structure. We assess whether the chimney can be stabilized and repaired or if it needs to be torn down and rebuilt. When we rebuild a chimney, we ensure it meets current building codes and is properly flashed to prevent leaks. We also install new chimney caps to keep out rain, animals, and debris.

For chimneys that just need repairs, we handle everything from repointing mortar joints to replacing damaged bricks to rebuilding crowns. The crown is the concrete top of your chimney, and it often cracks due to temperature changes. A cracked crown allows water to penetrate deep into the chimney structure where it causes extensive damage. Our chimney repair services in Little Rock address all these issues. We give you an honest assessment of what your chimney needs and explain all your options. Whether repair or rebuild makes more sense, we will do the work right so your chimney serves you safely for decades to come.
