Colorado-Specific Masonry Considerations
Freeze-Thaw Resistance
“For concrete blocks used in external walls exposed to frost, compressive strength should be 7.3 N/mm² or have a density of at least 1,500 kg/m³” (LABC Warranty—Frost Resistance Standards). Colorado’s temperature fluctuations demand proper material selection, preventing frost damage.
Mortar Selection
Appropriate mortar mix design balances strength with flexibility. Type N mortar suits most residential applications, while Type S provides higher strength for structural masonry and below-grade applications in Denver and Loveland projects.
Drainage and Waterproofing
Proper drainage prevents water accumulation behind masonry walls. We install weep holes, flashing, and drainage systems protecting masonry from moisture damage accelerated by Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Altitude and Weather
High altitude, intense sun exposure, and rapid temperature changes affect masonry performance. Our masonry contractor team selects materials and installation methods accounting for Front Range environmental conditions.

Long-Term Durability Focus
“Masonry structures are incredibly durable and can last for centuries with minimal maintenance due to inherent strength, weather-resistant properties, and resistance to pests and fire“ (LBCC – Building Construction Materials). We prioritize installation practices maximizing this longevity.
Maintenance for Lasting Masonry
1.
Regular Inspections
Annual inspections identify early deterioration signs. Addressing minor issues promptly prevents expensive repairs requiring extensive reconstruction later.
2.
Cleaning
Periodic cleaning removes dirt, organic growth, and efflorescence. Appropriate cleaning methods preserve masonry without causing damage from excessive pressure or harsh chemicals.
3.
Repointing When Needed
Mortar joints eventually deteriorate. Repointing before significant deterioration occurs prevents water infiltration and protects masonry units from damage.
4.
Sealing and Waterproofing
Breathable sealers protect masonry from moisture while allowing water vapor to escape. Reapplication every 5-10 years maintains protection against Colorado’s weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
A masonry contractor specializes in working with brick, stone, concrete block, and similar materials to build structures, walls, fireplaces, patios, and other features. They possess skills in material selection, proper installation techniques, mortar mixing, structural design, and finishing for durable, attractive results.
Masonry contractors construct and repair structures using brick, stone, and concrete block. Services include building walls, fireplaces, retaining structures, and patios; installing stone veneer; repointing deteriorated mortar; repairing cracks; applying waterproofing, and custom masonry features requiring specialized skills and equipment.
Masonry services include new construction (walls, fireplaces, columns, patios, retaining walls), repair work (tuckpointing, crack repair, spall replacement), restoration (historic masonry preservation), decorative installations (stone veneer, custom features), and maintenance (cleaning, sealing, waterproofing). Services span residential and commercial applications.
Masonry construction begins with site preparation and foundation installation. Masons then lay units in mortar following patterns, maintaining level and plumb throughout. Reinforcement is installed as needed. After construction, joints are cleaned and tooled. Finally, curing time allows mortar to gain strength before applying finishes or sealers.
Masonry work involves preparing footings, mixing mortar to proper consistency, laying units with consistent joints, maintaining alignment using string lines and levels, installing reinforcement and ties, tooling joints for weatherproofing, cleaning excess mortar, and allowing proper curing.
