Masonry Contractor serving Monmouth, OR

Monmouth has charming older homes with brick and stone features that need special care to maintain. These historic properties give the town character, but their masonry requires attention to keep looking good and functioning properly. We see common issues like deteriorating mortar, cracked brick, and settling foundations in homes built before modern construction standards.

Your historic home deserves restoration work that respects its original character. We match mortar colors and textures so repairs blend seamlessly with existing masonry. This attention to detail makes the difference between work that stands out awkwardly and restoration that looks like it has always been there. We take pride in preserving the architectural heritage that makes Monmouth special.

Foundation issues are particularly common in older Monmouth homes. The soil conditions combined with decades of settling mean many homes develop cracks or moisture problems over time. We assess foundation problems honestly and recommend appropriate solutions. Sometimes simple repairs work fine. Other times more extensive work is needed to protect your investment long-term.

Chimneys get regular use in Monmouth, especially during our wet, cool months. This consistent use combined with moisture exposure means chimneys need maintenance to stay safe and functional. We see cracked crowns, deteriorated flashing, and damaged liners in homes throughout town. Taking care of these issues promptly prevents water damage and safety hazards.

Your chimney crown sits on top and protects the chimney structure from rain and weather. When crowns crack, water gets inside and causes all kinds of problems. We rebuild damaged crowns with proper materials and slope for drainage. Flashing seals the gap where your chimney meets the roof. Old flashing often fails, allowing water to leak into your home. We replace it with modern materials that seal tight.

Inside the chimney, the liner protects your home from heat and combustion gases. Cracked or missing liners create serious safety concerns. We inspect liners with specialized cameras and reline chimneys when needed. Whether you have a wood stove, gas fireplace, or traditional fireplace, your chimney needs proper maintenance to operate safely and efficiently.
