Masonry Contractor in Falls Church, VA

The Little City's hardworking brick

Falls Church packs a lot of brick into a small city. The brick ranches and split-levels from the post-war boom are everywhere — honest homes with honest masonry that has now seen sixty-plus years of Virginia weather. That is right around the age when mortar joints give out and chimneys start asking for attention. If your Falls Church home still has its original mortar, it is living on borrowed time — and repointing now beats rebuilding later.

What we like about Falls Church brick: it was generally well built. The post-war builders used good clay brick and laid it properly. The walls are straight, the coursing is clean, and the brick itself usually has plenty of life left. What they need is maintenance — repointing, chimney crowns, and the occasional brick replacement where weather won a battle.

Tear-downs and new construction

Falls Church has also seen its share of tear-down rebuilds, and new brick homes sit beside originals on the same street. For new construction we do chimney builds, brick veneer accents, stone veneer entries, and full hardscape — patios, walks, and retaining walls for the regraded lots. We coordinate with builders on schedule and spec.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Falls Church ranch has original mortar from the 1960s. Does it need repointing?

Very likely. Scrape a joint with a key — if mortar crumbles or falls out, it is done. Sixty-year-old mortar in our climate is typically at end of life, and repointing now protects the brick for decades.

Do you do masonry for new construction in Falls Church?

Yes. We build chimneys, brick and stone veneer, and full hardscapes for new homes and additions, coordinating with your builder on specs and schedule.

Can you repair a chimney without rebuilding the whole thing?

Often. If the lower courses are sound, we rebuild from the roofline up — new brick, new crown, new cap — which solves most chimney problems at a fraction of full-rebuild cost.
