Services We Offer
We are not fans of brick masonry just because we offer those services. Rather, we offer brick masonry services because of its awesomeness. The level of sturdiness, durability and aesthetic appeal you can achieve with brick masonry is unimaginable with any other construction material. Perhaps the only con of brick masonry is that it requires skilled brick masons to do the work or the structure will start showing signs of distress and fatigue. After all, no proud owner of a brick house wants to worry about brick crack repair and repointing when brick masonry building can go centuries without any repair with proper construction and regular upkeep.
However, no building is immortal. So, if your house needs repairs, we recommend you to get only the best masonry contractors, otherwise you will create more problems than solve. South Carolina residents have reason to rejoice as Brick Mason Columbia provides its top-grade masonry repair services in the state. We can do all kinds of brick mortar repair, whether the structure is old or new. Old masonry repair requires special care and expertise as these structures have gotten fragile over the years. The mortar will have to be matched in character and given appropriate hardness, the old bricks and mortar need to be handled with extra care and if necessary, bricks will have to be custom-made to match the old ones in color and character. Besides all kinds of masonry repair, we are also experts in constructing special masonry structures. For example, our brick pavers can upgrade the look of any driveway or patio. Driveway pavers and patio pavers must always be extra strong and durable, as driveways have to tolerate a lot of weight while patio floors get worn-out faster due to greater footfall. Besides these, a lot of gardens and yards use retaining walls for landscaping and other purposes. These walls need to be stronger than your average brick wall because it has to counter gravity and immense pressure. Our masonry contractors can create perfectly stable and strong retention walls, such that you do not have to worry about cracks or destabilization. We also construct brick mailboxes that are far more durable than metal mailboxes. |
Retaining WallA retaining wall takes far more strain than a normal brick wall. It not only has to bear the weight of the ground on the steeper side, but also has to keep the soil on both sides in place without leaning over. Thus, it does not take a genius to infer that a retention wall has to be made far stronger and more compact than the wall of a house. Mechanisms will have to be put into place to make sure the wall stays anchored to or braced against the steeper side.
However, the compressive strengths of the mortar and brick must still be at the ratio at which, the pressure would be distributed correctly and evenly across the wall, especially since a retaining wall is always outdoors and has to bear the temperature changes and moisture that are so often the worst enemies of any masonry structure. Brick Mason Columbia leaves no stone unturned to make your retention wall strong, stable as well as good-looking. Even though we are brick contractors, we also build amazing stone retaining walls besides brick retaining walls. |
Driveway pavers
Driveways are meant to be extra robust and long-lasting, because of all the heavy cars that move up and down every day. Brick driveway pavers not only impart that strength and hardiness to the driveway flooring, but also give it an attractive look. If installed correctly, brick pavers can outlast most other driveway flooring options.
The main reason for this would be the flexibility of brick pavers, which allows it to accommodate easily far more pressure than other driveway floors can. Not only that, brick pavers are resistant to stains and are also easier to repair, due to the easy availability of the bricks and the ability to repair just the damaged section without needing to dig the whole place up. Driveways are highly prone to cracks and fractures. For this reason, Brick Mason Columbia offers excellent brick crack repair and masonry crack repair to restore the durability of your driveway. |

Patio flooring can totally make or break the look of your patio. The most popular choices for patio are concrete, tiles and pavers. Brick patio pavers are a great way to give the perfect homely look to your patio. A brick flooring helps cover up weathering perfectly. In fact, a little weathered look enhances the outdoorsy feel of the patio. |

Not only are these more resistant to all kinds of weather conditions and man-caused stressors, but they can also be made to match the owner’s brick home for an aesthetically pleasing look.

The three basic needs that every person requires to be able to live a life of dignity and comfort in civilized society are shelter, food and clothing. Of these, the first, shelter, was probably the last thing to appear in the history of mankind. Yet, today, it is one of the largest, most labor and capital-intensive trades in the world. We see such diversity in the structure and architecture of buildings and structures across the world. All of it is a result of the same basic masonry, done with different clever tricks that masons have implemented. Masonry can be done using a variety of masonry units like bricks, natural and artificial stones, concrete masonry units or CMUs, adobe and many more. Brick, however is still the most widely-used masonry unit everywhere. It is also the one that has been in use the longest since its advent ten thousand years ago. Brick masons or bricklayers are thus the most important masons among masonry contractors.
Houses are not the only structures that can be constructed using brick masonry. Many things, for functional as well as decorative purposes, can be built using brick and mortar. Bricks are popularly used as pavers in a number of places like walls, patios, driveways, walkways, sidewalks, yards, footbridges, fountains and whatnot. Brick masonry requires more skill and precision than concrete block masonry. Bricks also have a greater aesthetic appeal than CMUs. In fact, a lot of people have brick veneers or brick tiles to emulate the rustic, old-world charm of beautiful brick houses. However, brick veneers over other material hardly provide the support that brick masonry does. Brick has high thermal and compression strength, unmatched by other materials unless specially built. As a result, brick masonry can impart much greater strength and durability to a house than other types of masonry. However, the fact that brick masonry requires skilled labor, in comparison to general, unskilled bricklayers when it comes to CMUs, is the very reason why the former is fast being replaced by the latter. But we are ardent believers of channeling cost, time and skill in a cleverer way. So instead of expending on high-cost material, we encourage clients to use brick, which imparts comparable strength and tenacity, while employing skilled brick masons who can create innovative and sturdy structures that will not give away under any circumstance.
Brick masonry is also an art. For accomplishing the structure, they set out to do, bricklayers must ensure that bricks are laid with impeccable accuracy, the mortar formulated exactly should be compatible with the bricks and make the structure stable. Brick masons, or more generally, stone masons should take classroom training as well as quite a few years of apprenticeship to be able to start a career in masonry. Even after that, the mason must acquire years of experience to achieve a commendable level of expertise. Brick masons must not only have knowledge about bricklaying but also mortar composition and design. As the most highly recommended masonry company in Columbia, South Carolina, Brick Mason Columbia ensures that each masonry contractor we hire are experienced and skilled enough to do all kinds of stone masonry, so that no kind of house or structure you want is beyond us.

F.A.Q
Why is brick masonry better than others?
Brick masonry is exceptional in its durability and robustness. There are reasons why people believe that “Old is gold.” Brick structures-built centuries ago still exist, which says a lot about how much harder it is compared to other masonry structures. It is weather-resistant, fire-resistant, and if properly reinforced, will also be quake-resistant. Not only that, but brick masonry also has its very own appeal that bypasses the need to get any other siding done over it. Of course, even if you have real brick masonry, you will still want the brick siding done separately as veneer, so as to have an extra weatherproof barrier separating the outer surface from the inner wall body.
Why should I not get ordinary masons for brick masonry repair?
Brick masonry is a far superior craft than ordinary masonry. In fact, CMUs were created with the express purpose of making it possible for ordinary masons to do construction jobs. But no masonry option comes even close to brick masonry in terms of strength and durability. Not only climatic elements, but properly constructed and reinforced brick structures can withstand fire and earthquakes, as well as anthropological sources of strain. However, brick masonry is not invincible, obviously, so it too needs repairs. Brick masonry repair is different from ordinary masonry repair. It may require repointing, brick crack repair, mortar joint repair, brick replacement and a number of other reparative treatments. Some brick contractors are often inexperienced in special brick masonry repair work like chimney masonry repair, brick chimney repair, fireplace brick repair, brick mailbox repair and the like, because they require special expertise. It is also important to assess if a certain repair will actually fix the issue or worsen it. The brick masons also have to be extremely careful about mortar composition and old mortar scraping. Such expertise is usually not found in ordinary masons, and they may actually mess it up to the point that you will have to demolish and rebuild the structure.
How do I make the right choice regarding the best brick masonry contractors?
Brick masons should not be hired without looking a bit into their background. When you hire brick contractors, make sure the masons are brick masons and not ordinary ones. Ask to see their licenses to be sure. Try to make sure that the brick masons assigned to you are not novices, but have had the requisite training to undertake a job of the scale that you require. It is also not a bad idea to follow up on the references and testimonials provided by the masonry company. It is a proof of not only the company is genuine, but also of the quality of work they do.
Why Work with Us
You will find many mason companies out there which will be providing general masonry services, that involve general masonry construction. However, that is not the only work masonry may require. Especially if you already have a brick masonry house or other structure that is at least a few decades old, masonry restoration becomes an important part of your brick masonry repair. Not only that, if your relatively new brick house was constructed by laymen brick masons, it is likely the brick masonry will start to fall apart as a result of a number of issues like instability, water seepage, the incorrect hardness of mortar, imperfect laying of bricks and so on. If that is the case, you might need to get brick mortar repair done to your house so that further damage is stopped and the present damage is mended to a certain extent. Brick Mason Columbia is qualified to do all such kinds of brick masonry repair. In some cases, brick repair and mortar repairrequire specialized skills, like in the case of chimney masonry repair and repointing bricks. Our experts are adept in handling such tasks.
Of course, masonry repair is not the only thing we are great at. Our brick masons have a flair for constructing complex brick masonry structures. One of the innovative ways you can use brick is in driveway and patio flooring. In many traditional brick masonry houses, brick is used in floors, but for the floor body, which then gets resurfaced with other flooring materials like concrete, stone, wood, tiles, travertine and so on. However, brick can also be used decoratively for floors in the form of brick pavers. Brick pavers are more popularly used in exterior floors like patio pavers and driveway pavers. The superior drainage capacity and strength of mortar and brick masonry also make it most suitable for constructing retaining walls. Stone retaining walls are also in high demand among customers. A retaining wall must not only be strong enough to hold the ground on both sides, but should also allow the easy passage of water so that extra pressure does not get built by water retention. It is important that a retaining wall be more compact than a normal wall so that it does not have any cracks that will allow plants to take roots in them and demolish the wall with time. Another structure Brick Mason Columbia is well-known for constructing is a brick mailbox. Brick mailboxes are often gotten by those who want to go all the way with their brick masonry home. But attractiveness is not the only reason for getting a brick mailbox. They also serve the practical purpose of being more durable than conventional metal mailboxes, which are prone to rust and corrosion due to moisture and warping due to the heat, which is a common feature in the tropical South Carolina climate.
However, keep in mind that a badly constructed brick masonry structure can do the exact opposite of what you were trying to achieve with a brick masonry home in the first place. You had gifted yourself a beautiful brick home that you had expected would last for years without repair. Yet here you are struggling with spalling, delamination and other problems that keep requiring brick repair and repointing. Not only that, often, it becomes necessary to ascertain the kind and extent of repair necessary and even whether it is required at all or not. In many cases, trying to restore a brick masonry can do more harm than good. That is why we recommend you not to skimp on brick masonry when you go for it, otherwise all that economizing will be for vain. Getting expert masonry contractors like Brick Mason Columbia will make you tension-free that whether you are getting your house built or repaired, our experts will recommend the best thing to get in that situation. We never suggest something just so that we can earn a profit, like some others. We care about your brick masonry house or structure as if they were our own, and we do the best we can to make it live up to your expectations.
