Masonry services in Eugene, OR
Stonecraft Eugene Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Eugene, OR, with 16 services that run from repairing older brick and chimneys to building new walls, paving and fireplaces. Most calls start with crumbling joints, a leaning wall or a chimney someone doesn't trust, and the aim is work that still stands and looks right long after we leave. Price mostly turns on how much has actually failed, how hard the work is to reach and whether old brick and mortar need matching. The schedule turns on the size of the job, what has to be ordered and any permit the city requires. Your estimate spells out what we'll do and why, so ask for one and you'll know where you stand.
Foundation repair
Cracked or settling foundation? We work out why it moved, then repair the masonry so the house above has something steady to sit on.
See the service Foundation repairChimney repair
For a chimney you don't trust. We rebuild the cracked cap on top, replace flaking brick and repoint bad joints so water stops finding its way in.
See the service Chimney repairTuckpointing
What is tuckpointing? We grind out worn joints, refill them with mortar colored to match the brick and run a fine contrasting line along each joint.
See the service TuckpointingBrick repair
Cracked, loose or crumbling bricks get cut out and replaced with the closest match we can find, while the sound brick around them stays put.
See the service Brick repairDriveway pavers
We set paver driveways on a dug-out, packed gravel base, so they stay level under your car and a single paver can be lifted and reset.
See the service Driveway paversRetaining wall construction
We build retaining walls of block or stone to hold back a slope, with gravel and drainage behind them, because trapped water is what usually tips a wall.
See the service Retaining wall constructionMasonry restoration
For older brick and stone that's worn all over. We clean, repoint and repair it, keeping as much of the original material as the wall allows.

Adding a fireplace or replacing a tired one? We build it in brick or stone, from the firebox where the fire sits to the hearth and surround.
See the service Fireplace installationStone veneer installation
Stone veneer gives a wall the look of stone with a thin layer. We set it over a backing and moisture barrier so the wall behind stays dry.

We lay concrete block walls for garden edges, privacy screens and outbuildings, with steel and grout in the hollow cores where the wall needs extra strength.

Building an addition, garage or shop? We lay the block foundation walls it sits on, set level and square so the framing that follows goes up true.

Outdoor kitchens need a solid base under the grill and counters. We build it in block or brick, then finish it in stone, brick or veneer.

Need a path from the driveway to the front door? We lay walkways in pavers, brick or stone over a packed base so they stay even underfoot.
See the service Walkway constructionBrick wall installation
A new brick wall starts with a concrete footing to stand on. We pour that, then lay the brick for garden walls, entries and property edges.
See the service Brick wall installationStone masonry
Stone walls, steps and columns are laid by hand, each piece fitted to its neighbors so the joints stay tight and nothing looks stamped out.

Mortar going soft or sandy between your bricks? We rake out the worn outer mortar and repack the joints so they shed water, leaving sound brick alone.

Why homeowners hire us for masonry work
We hold your house to the same standard we'd hold a commercial building to. Every reason below comes back to that.
The owner sees your job in person
I come out myself, look at the brick, stone or slope and ask what you want from it. You get a straight answer on what it needs, including when a job isn't worth doing.
Sound brick and mortar stay put
We repair what's actually failing and leave the rest alone, so you don't pay to redo joints or brick that still have years left in them.
An estimate you can compare
The estimate spells out exactly what we'll do and why, so you know what you're paying for and can line it up against other bids.
Your yard protected and cleaned up
We cover plantings, paving and siding near the work and clean up before we leave, because a good wall next to a mess isn't a finished job. Call (541) 225-4006 when you're ready for me to take a look.
How a masonry job runs from call to cleanup
Here's what happens once you reach out, from our first reply to the walk-through at the end.
Call or send a message
Call (541) 225-4006 or use the form and tell us what you're seeing, whether that's crumbling joints, a leaning wall or something you want built. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out and see it.
I look and write the estimate
I come out, look at the work and ask what you want from it. Then I write a free estimate that says what we'll do and why. There's no obligation, so take the time you need to think it over or compare it with other bids.
We do the work
If you go ahead, we sort out any permit the job needs before we start. Our own masons and laborers do the work, and I check it as it goes, so problems get caught while they're still easy to fix rather than after the mortar has set.
Cleanup and walk-through
When the masonry is finished, we clean up the site and then walk the work with you before we call it done. That's your chance to look it over closely and ask about anything you want explained while we're still there.
Tell us about the masonry job you have in mind
Send the form and we'll get back to you within one business day to set a time. I'll come out, look at the job and write a free estimate, with no obligation to go ahead.

Stonecraft Eugene, a masonry business since 2017
I started Stonecraft Eugene Concrete and Masonry in Eugene, OR, in 2017, after learning the trade with a big commercial outfit where an inspector checked everything and shortcuts got torn out. We're licensed and fully insured, and I've kept the business at a size where I still answer the phone. Today we offer 16 services across the eight cities that have their own page on this site. There's more on how we got here on our about page.

Eugene, the city we're based in
Eugene is home base for us, and it's a city people know for its green space. Hendricks Park, the city's oldest park, sits in the university district with its rhododendron garden and Douglas fir forest. Alton Baker Park is the largest developed park, running along the north bank of the Willamette River. On the University of Oregon campus, the Museum of Natural and Cultural History holds fossils, geological specimens and archaeological collections.
Around Eugene we see older brick chimneys and garden walls, sloped lots that need holding back and newer houses where people want pavers and stone. If a wall or walkway is going near the edge of your lot, find out where the line actually runs, because property lines here often sit back from the street and even the sidewalk, and a fence between neighbors isn't always on the line. We're based in Eugene and work across the city and the cities around it, with the same crew and the same standard.

Questions about masonry in Eugene, OR
How much does masonry repair cost in Eugene, OR?
We price each masonry job after seeing it in person, because two jobs that look alike from the street can need very different work. A chimney that needs a few joints repointed costs far less than one that has to be rebuilt above the roofline. The estimate is free, so it costs nothing to find out.
Is it cheaper to repair old brick or replace it?
Repair is usually cheaper when the brick itself is sound and only the mortar or a few bricks have failed. Replacing a section starts to make sense when water has gotten behind the face and the wall is moving or coming apart, and I'll tell you which one you're looking at.
How long does a masonry project take in Eugene?
It depends mostly on the size of the job and whether it needs a city permit, since repointing a few joints moves much faster than a new retaining wall. Mortar and concrete also need time to set before the next stage goes on, and I'll talk through timing with you when I come out.
Are you licensed and insured for masonry work in Eugene?
Yes, Stonecraft Eugene Concrete and Masonry is licensed and fully insured. The City of Eugene doesn't issue a general business license to every business, only to a few types like payday lenders and waste haulers, so the city check that matters on a masonry job is the permit.
What happens if you find more damage once the masonry is opened up?
We stop and talk it through with you before going past what the estimate covers. Some problems, like a cracked footing or wet backing behind the brick, only show once the work is open, so I explain what we found, what it means and what it adds before we carry on.
Do you guarantee your masonry work?
Yes, our promise is satisfaction guaranteed on every job. What stands behind it is how the work is done, with drainage behind retaining walls, a packed base under pavers and mortar suited to the brick, so the work holds up.
What mortar should be used to repoint old brick?
Mortar matched to the brick, and on older, softer brick that usually means a softer mix, because mortar harder than the brick can make the brick faces crack and flake instead of the joint. A joint is cheaper to repoint than a brick is to replace, so the joint should be the part that wears.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Eugene, OR?
Usually yes, because the city lists retaining walls among the typical projects that need a building permit. Its no-permit list covers masonry repair on one- and two-family homes, but only where the work is clear of things like utility easements, public pipes and setbacks. If your job needs a permit, we pull it and handle the inspections, and if it's unclear we check with the city before we start.
