If you think about a masonry contractor you probably picture a brick building. While masonry contractors do work on brick buildings, they do a lot of other work too. Here is a quick review of what you can expect from a masonry contractor.

A masonry contractor builds and fixes brick and stone buildings. They also work on fireplaces, patios, concrete, pathways, and steps. Masonry is more common in older buildings, but is still frequently used in new commercial buildings, especially on college campuses.
The benefit of working with a local masonry company is that they will have special knowledge about your region or city. Certain building designs are better on different kinds of soil. The company will also have exclusive knowledge about permits and code requirements in your city. A properly insured masonry contractor should have no problem working on your project.
In addition to building and fixing things, masonry contractors can inspect their own work or the work of other companies. Whether or not they worked on the original project, they can assess damage or potential risk of damage. If they catch this early the damage can be fixed easily.
