Masonry Contractor in Gresham, Oregon | Residential and Commercial
Gresham sits on the east side of the Portland metro where the terrain starts climbing toward the foothills. That slope creates a lot of retaining wall work. Properties around Gresham Butte, Pleasant Valley, and the hills south of Powell Boulevard deal with grade changes that need structural walls to hold soil and protect foundations. The older neighborhoods near downtown Main Avenue and through Centennial have brick chimneys and block foundations from the 1960s through 1980s that are showing their age. We do brick, stone, block, and concrete masonry across Gresham and east Multnomah County. Family-owned out of Newberg. Call for a free estimate.
What Gresham Property Owners Hire Us For
Retaining walls are the number one reason Gresham homeowners call us. The east side terrain between Johnson Creek and Pleasant Valley creates sloped lots that need structural support. After retaining walls, chimney work is the next biggest demand. Gresham’s housing from the 1960s through 1990s means thousands of chimneys are at the age where mortar is cracking and crowns are failing. We also handle patios, walkways, fireplaces, fire pits, veneer facades, and block foundations. Commercial projects too. Gresham has a steady mix of retail and industrial properties along Burnside, Powell, and Division that need block walls, concrete work, and structural masonry.

Masonry Services for Gresham and East Multnomah County
Same crew on every Gresham job, from a chimney cap replacement near downtown Main Avenue to a full retaining wall build in Pleasant Valley. Brick, block, stone, and concrete. Residential and commercial. Gresham is about 50 minutes east of our shop in Newberg, and we work in east Multnomah County regularly. Here’s how each material works for different project types.
Brick Masonry
A lot of Gresham’s housing stock was built between the 1960s and early 1990s, and brick chimneys, porch columns, and planters from that era are hitting the point where they need attention. Mortar joints crack, bricks spall from moisture absorption, and chimney crowns deteriorate. We do tuckpointing, repointing, partial rebuilds, and full chimney reconstruction on older Gresham homes. For newer work, we install brick patios, walkways, veneer facades, fireplaces, and driveway pavers. The Centennial and Rockwood neighborhoods have a lot of mid-century brick that benefits from restoration work to keep the original character intact.

Stone Masonry
Gresham’s terrain makes stone retaining walls a practical choice, not just a decorative one. The grade changes between Johnson Creek and the hills south of Powell mean a lot of residential lots need walls to hold soil and create flat usable yard space. We build with basalt, flagstone, and manufactured stone depending on the application and budget. Stone patios and walkways are a strong fit for Gresham properties with larger lots, especially in the Pleasant Valley and southeast Gresham areas where yard space allows for real outdoor living areas. We also build stone fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, veneer features on home exteriors, and stone accent walls for both residential and commercial properties.

Block Masonry
Concrete block (CMU) handles most of the structural masonry work in Gresham. Foundation walls for additions and outbuildings, retaining walls where budget matters more than appearance, freestanding fences, and raised garden beds. Block goes up faster and costs less per square foot than brick or stone, which makes it practical for larger projects. In Gresham, block foundation walls are common for detached garages, shop buildings, and room additions on the older homes near Centennial and Rockwood. For commercial properties along Burnside or Division, block is the standard for perimeter walls, loading dock areas, and equipment enclosures. We also build block sound barriers for residential properties that back up to busy roads.
