Masonry Contractor in Oak Grove, Oregon | Repairs, Patios, and Retaining Walls
Oak Grove has some of the oldest homes between Milwaukie and Gladstone, and old homes come with old masonry that eventually needs a pro. If your chimney’s dropping mortar or your brick foundation has seen better decades, that’s squarely our work. Ramos Masonry does brick, stone, block, and concrete all along the McLoughlin corridor. Family-owned, Oregon CCB #224839, since 2010. Call 503-857-5988 for a free estimate.
What We Build and Fix in Oak Grove
Most Oak Grove homes date from the 1940s through the 60s, so the masonry here is genuinely aged. Chimneys 60 to 80 years old don’t just need a touch-up; the mortar’s compromised the whole way up, and that’s the most common call we get. Some of these places have original brick foundations that need attention too. Newer interest is in outdoor living near the riverfront and the Trolley Trail, where homeowners are building stone patios and fireplaces. We also handle veneer, walkways, block foundations, and commercial work along McLoughlin, all with the same crew.

Brick, Stone, Block, and Concrete in Oak Grove
Whatever it’s built from, one crew handles your project end to end. We work the McLoughlin corridor regularly and we don’t go quiet once the job’s booked. If you’re not sure what the work needs, especially on an older home where things aren’t always obvious, the free estimate is where we figure it out together. Here’s how we approach each material, and the main office is a call away.
Brick Masonry
Oak Grove brick is old enough that repairs here are rarely quick fixes. On a chimney that’s pushing 70 or 80 years, chimney tuckpointing usually means replacing mortar across the whole structure, not just the worst joints. The original brick foundations on some of these homes need brick pointing to seal out water before it does real damage. We also build new where it’s wanted: brick patios, walkways, fireplace surrounds. One thing about Oak Grove: the closer you are to the river, the higher the groundwater, so drainage under any flatwork matters more here than most places.

Stone Masonry
As Oak Grove sees renewed investment, stone patios and outdoor fireplaces are going in near the riverfront and along the Trolley Trail. Whether you want full-size pavers or a patio and paver layout with a fire feature, we build it in flagstone, basalt, or manufactured veneer. On the lots that climb from the river toward Oatfield, a stone retaining wall holds the grade and keeps the yard usable. Stone veneer is a clean way to update an older exterior without a full re-side, and we do walkways, garden walls, and accent features too.

Block Masonry
Block handles the structural side in Oak Grove, and on these older properties it often means repair as much as new construction. We do block wall repair and new builds, foundations for garages, additions, and ADUs, plus retaining walls and perimeter fences. Some of the older homes have existing block foundations that need shoring up or extending for an addition. Along McLoughlin, the mixed-use and commercial properties use block for perimeter walls and enclosures, and it doubles as a sound barrier where road noise is a problem.
