Masonry Contractor in McMinnville, Oregon | Your Neighbors in Yamhill County
We’re based in Newberg, about 15 minutes up 99W. McMinnville is our backyard. The older homes along the downtown grid between Adams and Davis have some of the best original brickwork in Yamhill County, and a lot of it needs mortar repair after 80-plus years. The neighborhoods south of Baker Creek Road and along Hill Road have 1960s through 1990s housing with chimneys showing their age. And the newer development out toward Three Mile Lane and the wine country estates along Youngberg Hill and Worden Hill Road bring steady demand for stone patios, outdoor fireplaces, retaining walls, and veneer work. Brick, stone, block, and concrete masonry. Family-owned, Oregon CCB #224839. Call for a free estimate.

Masonry Services for McMinnville and Yamhill County
Same crew on every McMinnville project, whether it’s repointing a chimney near Upper City Park or building a stone patio on a vineyard property. McMinnville is one of our closest service areas from our shop in Newberg. Brick, block, stone, and concrete. New construction, repairs, and restoration. Here’s how each material works for the projects McMinnville homeowners and businesses ask about.
Brick Masonry
McMinnville has more original brick than most Yamhill County cities. The downtown buildings along Third Street, the older homes near Adams and Baker streets, and scattered farmhouses throughout the surrounding valley all have brick that’s been standing for decades. Repointing, chimney repair, and brick restoration make up a big share of the brick work we do here. On the new construction side, brick patios, walkways, driveway pavers, veneer facades, and fireplace surrounds are the most common projects. McMinnville’s clay-heavy valley soil holds moisture, so proper drainage under brick flatwork matters more here than in the hillside cities east of Portland. We use mortar mixes rated for western Oregon’s freeze-thaw cycles.

Stone Masonry
Stone fits McMinnville’s character. The wine country properties, the tasting rooms along Third Street, and the newer homes heading out toward the Dundee Hills all use stone for a reason. It matches the landscape. We build stone patios, outdoor fireplaces, retaining walls, walkways, garden walls, columns, fire pits, and stone veneer on home exteriors. Flagstone, basalt, and manufactured stone veneer are the most common materials here. For the winery estates and rural properties, stone retaining walls handle the rolling terrain better than block or timber, and they don’t rot out in the valley moisture. In town, stone accent walls and veneer facades give newer homes a look that fits McMinnville’s mix of historic and modern.

Block Masonry
Concrete block (CMU) handles the structural masonry work in McMinnville. Foundation walls for additions, garages, barns, shop buildings, and ADUs. Retaining walls where budget is the main consideration. Freestanding fences, raised garden beds, and perimeter walls for commercial properties. Block is the most affordable masonry material per square foot and goes up faster than brick or stone. McMinnville’s agricultural and commercial properties along Three Mile Lane and Highway 18 use block for equipment buildings, loading structures, and perimeter walls. For residential properties that border busier roads, block walls work well as sound and privacy barriers. We also build block planters and raised beds for the McMinnville homeowners who want a permanent alternative to wood garden boxes that rot in the valley rain.
