Masonry Contractor in Gladstone, Oregon | Built to Handle Oregon Rain
Gladstone’s homes are older than most of the metro, and that means a lot of chimneys and foundations are due for real work, not a quick patch. If your mortar’s been quietly washing out for years, we’re the crew that fixes it properly. Ramos Masonry does brick, stone, block, and concrete throughout Gladstone and the river corridor. Family-owned, Oregon CCB #224839, working since 2010. Call 503-857-5988 and we’ll come look for free.
What We Build and Fix in Gladstone
Sitting where the Clackamas meets the Willamette, Gladstone has homes from the 1940s through the 60s with brick chimneys that are now 60 to 80 years old. At that age the mortar’s compromised throughout, water’s getting into the masonry, and crowns and caps have usually failed. That restoration work is most of what we do here. The newer side is outdoor living near the river and retaining walls where the ground climbs from the water to the higher streets. Veneer, walkways, block foundations, commercial work along McLoughlin: all one crew.

Brick, Stone, Block, and Concrete in Gladstone
One crew, every material, from the first measurement to the last sweep. We work the Oregon City and Milwaukie corridor regularly, so we’re around before and after the job. On older homes the real problem isn’t always what you’d guess from the curb, which is exactly why the free estimate exists. Here’s how we approach each material, and the main office is a call away if something’s not covered.
Brick Masonry
Gladstone’s older homes mean serious chimney work. A chimney from the 1940s or 50s usually needs historic chimney restoration, full mortar replacement done in a way that holds up without looking out of place on an older home. On brick facades and foundations losing their mortar, tuckpointing restores the strength and keeps water out. We build new where it’s wanted too: brick patios, walkways, fireplace surrounds. Gladstone sits low in the river valley, so the moisture is real and drainage under flatwork is critical.

Stone Masonry
Stone masonry in Gladstone runs from patios to walls to veneer. Near the Clackamas River and on the lots with yard space, stone patios and outdoor fireplaces are the popular builds. Where the ground rises from the river toward the higher streets, retaining walls hold the grade. We work in flagstone, basalt, and manufactured veneer, and stone veneer is a clean way to modernize one of the older 40s-to-60s exteriors. Walkways, garden walls, and accent features round it out.

Block Masonry
Block handles the structural work in Gladstone. We pour block foundations for garages, additions, ADUs, and outbuildings, and build retaining walls and perimeter walls. Some of the older homes have existing block foundations that need repair or extension when an addition goes on. On the sloped lots between the river level and the higher streets, block retaining walls do the heavy work, and along McLoughlin they double as sound barriers for homes close to the road.
