Residential Masonry
Residential masonry is a key part of home construction projects. Whether masonry is being used for structural or decorative purposes, it can enhance the appearance of any home, regardless of the style.
When you want masonry work done in your home, don’t trust just any contractor. Hire a trained, experienced masonry contractor with the technical expertise and design vision to achieve high-quality outcomes and work that will last.
What is masonry?
Masonry is any kind of building process that involves using individual pieces of material to create a structure. Brick and stone are examples of the kinds of materials used in masonry–and in fact, sometimes you will hear the materials used in masonry construction also referred to as masonry. The materials are usually joined together with mortar or another hard substance that allows the individual pieces to interlock. The joining of the pieces makes the structure stronger than its individual pieces.
Brick walls are an obvious example of masonry, but there are many other ways masonry can be used in residential properties. Custom-designed kitchen islands with stone bases, and driveways, patios, and garden features built with pavers are just a few examples of masonry that can upgrade the appearance of your home.
What should I look for in a residential masonry contractor?
The most critical thing is choosing a masonry contractor who is actually trained as a mason. There are special skills required to achieve masonry work that not only looks good but is also structurally sound. In other words, you should avoid builders who say that they can do the work, but cannot show proof of being trained masons.
It is also important to choose a masonry contractor who is licensed, bonded, and insured. This goes for any person you hire to work in your home. If they are not, any damage to your property will be left for you to repair at your own expense. Additionally, if a worker is hurt on your property, you could be liable for his or her medical costs.
With those basics covered, you should prioritize working with a masonry company that can provide full-service project management. They should be able to help you in the design and planning process as well as the installation and construction. Working with a locally owned and operated company will also give you the security of knowing that you have an easily accessible team committed to completing your project on time and to your satisfaction.
What are some ideas for using masonry in residential projects?
There are countless ways to incorporate masonry into residential projects. This is one of the reasons it is so beneficial to work with a mason that provides assistance with planning and design, since they can help you see where your home could benefit from masonry projects. Because you can also get custom brick work and custom stone work, the possibilities are endless. Some of the most popular residential masonry projects are:
- Patios
- Brick or stone garden/property line walls
- Driveways
- Decorative walls
- Backsplashes
- Sidewalks/walkways
- Fire pits
- Fireplaces
- Outdoor ovens
Because masonry materials are available in so many colors, sizes, and shapes, and because they can be painted, masonry can easily be integrated into any style of residential design, both inside and outside. For instance, natural brick adds texture and color to traditional homes, while light-colored stone enhances contemporary properties.
