Masonry Work We Do in Cornelius
Most calls we get from Cornelius come down to two things: fixing what’s worn out and building something new. If you own one of the older homes near downtown, your chimney has probably been through 50-plus Oregon winters and the mortar is starting to give. We repoint it, replace the cap, and rebuild the crown so water stops getting in. If you’re in one of the newer neighborhoods, you’re more likely planning a patio, an outdoor fireplace, or a retaining wall to make the yard work harder. Either way, you get the same crew, a clear estimate, and work that holds up. We also take on brick veneer, walkways, block foundations, and commercial masonry for businesses along TV Highway.

Brick, Stone, Block, and Concrete in Cornelius
Whatever your project is built from, one crew handles it start to finish. We’re about 30 minutes from Cornelius, so we’re close enough to show up when we say we will and back up our work after the job is done. Not sure which material fits your project or your budget? That’s what the free estimate is for. Here’s a quick rundown of what we do in each, and you can always reach our main office with questions.
Brick Masonry
If your Cornelius home was built before 1980, its brick chimney is the most likely thing to need attention. Decades of valley rain break down the mortar, the cap rusts out or cracks, and before long water is working its way into the flue and the masonry. We handle chimney cap replacement, repointing, and crown repair to stop that before it turns into a rebuild. Planning something new instead? We build brick patios, walkways, and driveway borders, and we install brick veneer to update a tired facade. One thing worth knowing in Cornelius: the clay soil holds water, so we set a proper base under any brick flatwork. Skip that step and the pavers shift within a couple seasons.

Stone Masonry
Stone is where most Cornelius homeowners go when they want the backyard to feel finished. A stone patio, a built-in fire pit, or an outdoor fireplace turns an unused corner of the yard into the spot everyone ends up on a summer evening. We work in flagstone, basalt, and manufactured veneer, so there’s a look for most budgets. If your lot has a slope eating into your usable space, a stone retaining wall fixes that and looks like it belongs there. Want to refresh the front of the house? Stone veneer gives an older exterior a completely different feel without re-siding the whole thing. We also handle stone walkways, garden walls, and accent features.

Block Masonry
When the job is about strength and value more than looks, block is usually the answer. We pour block foundations for garages, shops, ADUs, and additions, and we build retaining walls, perimeter walls, and equipment enclosures. Cornelius has more farms and light-industrial property than most towns its size, so we do a fair amount of block work that never shows from the road: barn footings, storage buildings, walls that hold back grade on working land. It’s the most affordable masonry per square foot, and if you want the strength of block with the look of stone, we can face it with veneer once it’s up.
