Masonry contractor services in Mesquite, TX
Stonework Mesquite Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Mesquite, TX, and most of our calls are about worn mortar joints, a tired chimney, or a wall, walkway or patio someone wants built right. Our 16 services cover repairs that keep water out of your brick and new work set on a solid, well-prepped base. The price mostly turns on how much brick, block or stone is involved and how far the damage runs. The schedule turns on the size of the job and whether it needs a permit and inspection first. Your own figure comes from the estimate I put together after we walk the job.
Foundation repair
When cracks climb a brick wall or foundation block starts to shift, we find what's moving, explain it and repair the masonry underneath.
Chimney repair
We fix chimneys with loose brick, worn joints or a cracked crown, the concrete cap on top, so the whole stack stays sound and sheds water.
Tuckpointing
What is tuckpointing? We grind out worn mortar between your bricks and pack in fresh mortar matched to the old color, so the joints look crisp again.
Brick repair
Cracked, chipped or loose bricks get cut out and replaced with brick picked to match your house in size and color, set in a mortar suited to the wall.
Driveway pavers
We lay paver driveways over a packed gravel base with a solid edge that keeps the pattern tight, for homeowners who want more than plain concrete.
Retaining wall construction
We build block and stone retaining walls that hold back a slope and turn it into usable yard, with gravel and drain pipe behind to let water out.
Masonry restoration
For older brick and stone that's worn, stained or patched over the years, we clean, repair and repoint it with materials that suit the original work.
Fireplace installation
Want a brick or stone fireplace inside or out back? We build the firebox and surround, then finish the face to suit your house.
Stone veneer installation
We install stone veneer, thin stone set over an existing wall, on house fronts, columns and fireplaces when you want the stone look without solid stone.
Concrete block walls
Block walls are a sturdy pick for property lines and patio edges, and we set each one on a proper footing and cap it for a clean top.
Foundation block wall installation
We lay block foundation walls for additions, garages and outbuildings, set on a footing and built level and square so whatever sits on top starts out right.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build the brick, block and stone parts of an outdoor kitchen, from the grill island to the counter base, for families who like to cook outside.
Walkway construction
We build walkways from the driveway to the door or out to the patio, laid in brick, stone or pavers over a packed base so they sit flat.
Brick wall installation
We build brick walls for gardens, courtyards and property lines on a proper footing, with brick and mortar picked to go with your house.
Stone masonry
Natural stone suits steps, planters, columns and garden walls, and we cut and fit each piece by hand so the joints sit tight and the work looks settled.
Brick pointing
Brick pointing fills worn mortar joints with fresh mortar before water gets in, a good fix when the joints are tired but the brick is still sound.

Brick homes and yards across Mesquite
Mesquite lies mostly in Dallas County, with a small part reaching into Kaufman County, and it's a city of neighborhoods where brick homes, backyards and front walks are what we see on most jobs. Plenty of folks here know City Lake Park, with its stocked lake and half-mile trail, and the Mesquite Heritage Trail, which runs more than four miles of concrete walkway between three trailheads.
The city keeps its history close, too. Florence Ranch Homestead is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and David W. and Julia Savannah Florence built the first part of its ranch house. We're based right here in Mesquite, so the houses and yards across the city are the ones we know best.

Common masonry questions
How much does masonry repair cost in Mesquite, TX?
There's no single price, because it depends on the size of the job, the materials and how much damage we find, and your own figure comes from a free estimate at your house. Old brick that's hard to match or a chimney that's tough to reach usually adds to the cost. A few worn joints cost far less than a section that has to come down.
Is it cheaper to repair a brick wall or chimney than to rebuild it?
Usually, yes, when the brick itself is sound and only the mortar or a few bricks have worn out. Repointing joints and swapping damaged bricks keeps most of the wall in place. If a wall is leaning or the brick is crumbling through, rebuilding that section is the better spend, and I'll tell you straight which one your house needs.
How long does a masonry job take?
It depends mostly on how big the job is and whether it needs a permit first, and we'll talk through scheduling when I'm out at your house. Mortar needs time to set before the next step, a lot like letting dough rest. When a job is permitted, the city inspects it, and the work has to stay open and visible until it's approved, so inspection timing can set the pace.
Is your masonry company licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured, and we've been in business since 2013. I come out to look at the job myself, and a crew of trained masons does the work. You can read more about us and how I got into masonry.
Do I need a permit for masonry work in Mesquite, TX?
It depends on the job, so ask the city's Building Inspection division, which issues permits for new construction, repairs, remodels and demolitions but not for cosmetic work like paint or trim. A homeowner can pull a permit only for a home they own, live in and have homesteaded with the Dallas Central Appraisal District, and otherwise a licensed contractor pulls it. When you hire us, we handle the application and line up the inspections, and if it's unclear whether you need one, we check with the city before any work starts.
Do you guarantee your masonry work?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If anything about the finished work puzzles you, ask me. I'd rather talk it through on site than have you wonder about it later.
Will new mortar match the old mortar on my house?
We mix mortar to suit the brick and the joints already on your house, so the repair looks like it belongs. Older, softer brick usually wants a softer mortar, because mortar harder than the brick can make the brick faces crack and flake over time. Fresh mortar often looks a shade different while it cures, so judge the color once it's dry, not the day it's laid.
How do I check if my Mesquite home is in a FEMA floodplain?
You can look up your address on FEMA's interactive flood map service center or call the city's stormwater staff at 972-329-8537, as the city's floodplain management page explains. It's worth checking before a retaining wall, a regraded yard or other drainage work, because the city manages the floodplain and its drainage facilities. The city also issues a grading permit for filling, grading or digging out a yard.
