Need a Masonry Contractor in Cedar Mill, Oregon? 5.0 Rated, CCB Licensed.
Cedar Mill is one of the more established residential areas in Washington County, tucked between the West Hills and the Sunset Highway corridor. The neighborhoods along Cornell Road, Barnes Road, and the streets climbing toward the Tualatin Mountains have homes from the 1970s through the 1990s with brick chimneys, stone accents, and masonry details that are starting to show their age. The newer developments near Bonny Slope and along Saltzman Road bring outdoor living projects — stone patios, fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and veneer upgrades on existing homes. Cedar Mill’s wooded lots and hillside terrain drive a lot of retaining wall work too. Brick, stone, block, and concrete masonry. Family-owned, Oregon CCB #224839. Call for a free estimate.
What Cedar Mill Homeowners Hire Us For
Outdoor living and chimney repair are the two biggest categories in Cedar Mill. The homes built in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s along Cornell Road, Thompson Road, and through the neighborhoods off Barnes Road have brick chimneys where mortar is cracking after 30 to 50 years of Oregon moisture. Cap and crown failures, spalling brick, and water getting into the flue are the common calls. On the newer and renovation side, stone patios and outdoor fireplaces are the top requests. Cedar Mill homeowners tend to invest in their properties, and a well-built patio or fireplace gets used year-round with the tree cover and privacy these lots provide. Retaining walls come up constantly because of the hillside terrain toward Bonny Slope and the West Hills. We also build stone walkways, veneer facades, block foundations, brick accent walls, and raised planters throughout Cedar Mill.

Masonry Services for Cedar Mill and the West Side of Portland
Same crew on every Cedar Mill project, from a chimney rebuild off Cornell Road to a stone patio in Bonny Slope. Brick, block, stone, and concrete. New construction, repairs, and restoration. Cedar Mill is about 40 minutes from our shop in Newberg, and we work the west side of Portland and Washington County regularly. Here’s how each material works for the projects Cedar Mill homeowners ask about.
Brick Masonry
Cedar Mill’s housing stock from the 1970s through 1990s means most of the brick work here is chimney related. The homes along Cornell, Barnes, Thompson, and the streets winding up toward the West Hills have brick chimneys that are 30 to 50 years old. Mortar deterioration, cracked crowns, missing or rusted caps, and spalling from moisture intrusion are the standard calls. Chimney repair and repointing are what we do most in Cedar Mill. Some of these properties also have brick veneer on exterior walls or entryways that needs repointing or partial replacement. On the new installation side, brick patios, walkways, driveway pavers, and fireplace surrounds are popular upgrade projects. Cedar Mill’s lots tend to be well-established with mature landscaping, so brick work here often needs to fit into existing hardscape and garden plans rather than starting from a blank slate.

Stone Masonry
Stone is the most popular material for outdoor living projects in Cedar Mill. The wooded, private lots along Saltzman Road, through Bonny Slope, and in the neighborhoods between Cornell and Barnes roads are the kind of properties where homeowners build stone patios, outdoor fireplaces, and fire pits that get used spring through fall. We build with flagstone, basalt, and manufactured stone veneer depending on the look and the budget. Stone retaining walls are the other big category. Cedar Mill’s terrain slopes toward the Tualatin Mountains, and a lot of residential lots need structural walls to manage grade changes, stabilize hillsides, and create level yard space on sloped properties. The Bonny Slope area in particular drives retaining wall work because of the steeper terrain. Stone veneer on home exteriors is also a regular project — homeowners updating 1980s and 90s facades with natural stone or manufactured veneer to refresh the curb appeal. Stone walkways, garden walls, columns, and accent features round out the work.

Block Masonry
Concrete block (CMU) handles the structural masonry in Cedar Mill. Foundation walls for garages, ADUs, additions, and shop buildings. Retaining walls where budget matters more than appearance. Freestanding fences, raised garden beds, and perimeter walls. Block is the most affordable masonry material per square foot and goes up faster than brick or stone. In Cedar Mill, block retaining walls are common on the hillside lots where the wall is purely structural and sits behind landscaping. Some homeowners pour the block wall and face it with stone veneer to get block’s strength with the look of natural stone — a combination that works well on Cedar Mill’s larger lots where the wall is visible from the yard or patio. For properties near the Sunset Highway corridor or Cornell Road, block walls also serve as sound barriers. Block foundations for ADUs are growing as more Cedar Mill homeowners add accessory structures to their properties.
