Masonry Installation Process

Straightforward Process, No Surprises

We start with a site visit to assess your property and understand what you’re trying to accomplish. This isn’t a high-pressure sales call—it’s a chance for us to see the project firsthand and give you realistic expectations about timeline, materials, and cost.

Once we agree on the scope, we handle permits if needed and order materials. We source stone locally when possible, which means better matching for existing work and materials suited to our climate.

The actual work happens in phases. Site preparation first, then foundation work, then the visible stonework. We clean up as we go because your property shouldn’t look like a construction zone for weeks. When we’re done, you get a walkthrough of the completed work and information about maintenance—which should be minimal if the work is done right.

How long does typical masonry work take to complete?

Most residential masonry projects take 3-10 days depending on size and complexity. A simple patio might be done in a long weekend, while a large retaining wall with drainage work could take two weeks. Weather affects timing—we won’t rush work just to meet a deadline if conditions aren’t right for proper curing. We give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is doing it right, not doing it fast.
Foundation work and material quality make the biggest difference. Cheaper contractors often skip proper excavation, use inadequate base materials, or rush the curing process. We take time for proper site preparation, use appropriate base materials for Connecticut soil conditions, and don’t cut corners on drainage. You’re paying for work that won’t crack, shift, or fail after a few freeze-thaw cycles. The initial cost difference usually pays for itself by avoiding repairs and replacements.
Yes, matching existing stone is something we do regularly in Morris. Many homes here have original stone walls or features that need additions or repairs. We source materials locally and can often find stone from the same quarries used decades ago. When exact matches aren’t available, we know how to select complementary stone that looks intentional rather than mismatched. We bring samples to show you options before starting work.
Absolutely. Proper drainage is critical for any masonry work in Connecticut. We assess drainage during the initial site visit and incorporate solutions into the project design. This might mean adding drainage behind retaining walls, adjusting grades, or installing drainage systems. Ignoring water issues is the fastest way to end up with failed stonework. We’d rather address drainage properly upfront than come back to fix problems later.
Properly installed masonry requires minimal maintenance. You might need to occasionally clean joints of debris or reapply sealers on certain surfaces every few years. We’ll walk you through any specific maintenance requirements when we complete your project. Most of our work is designed to handle Connecticut weather without constant attention. If you’re dealing with masonry that needs frequent repairs, it probably wasn’t installed correctly in the first place.
We price based on materials, labor, site conditions, and project complexity. Simple projects on level ground cost less than complex work requiring excavation or working around existing structures. We provide detailed estimates that break down costs so you understand what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise additions. We’re not the cheapest option, but our pricing reflects quality materials and proper installation techniques that save money long-term.
