From hundred-year-old brick in Dundee to brand-new stone veneer west of 180th, Omaha's masonry spans a century of building styles. We repair, restore, and build across all of it.
Omaha is our home base and our namesake, and the work here covers everything masonry can be. In one week we might repoint a 1920s brick foursquare in Dundee, rebuild a chimney crown in Millard, and rebuild fallen stone veneer on a five-year-old house near 192nd and Dodge. Different eras, different materials, same standard.
The city's older neighborhoods, Dundee, Benson, Field Club, Bemis Park, Hanscom Park, are full of brick homes built when masonry was the default. Those houses reward proper repair: matched mortar, compatible brick, and repointing that respects how the wall was built. The newer city west of I-680 brings the opposite problem, fast-built veneer and builder-grade masonry hitting its first round of failures.
Omaha Masonry works across the whole city. Brick repair and tuckpointing, chimney repair and rebuilds, stone veneer repair, retaining walls, steps, and restoration work on older buildings. Owner-led crews, free estimates, and repairs that blend in instead of standing out.
Central and east Omaha is where the city's brick heritage lives. Streetcar-era homes and commercial blocks from downtown and the Old Market out through Dundee and Benson were laid in soft lime mortar that demands matched materials, not modern shortcuts. Most of our tuckpointing and restoration work happens in these neighborhoods, keeping original walls sound instead of replacing them.
West Omaha tells a newer story. Subdivisions from Millard out past Elkhorn carry manufactured stone veneer and brick accents from the recent building booms, and the installation shortcuts of those years are surfacing now as loose stones, cracked columns, and failing address pillars. That repair wave is a growing share of our work.
In between sit sixty years of ranches and split-levels with chimneys, planters, and retaining walls all reaching repair age at once. Omaha's clay soil and its dozens of freeze-thaw cycles each winter drive most of what goes wrong, so everything we build and repair is detailed to manage water first.
Stones falling off your porch or facade? We rebuild manufactured stone veneer with the lath, plaster, and support it should have had the first time.

Learn moreSpalling, cracked, and loose brick cut out and replaced with hand-matched units, so the repair disappears into the wall.
Learn moreCrumbling mortar joints ground out and repointed with color-matched mortar, restoring the wall's weather seal and its looks.
Learn moreNew brickwork that blends with what is already there: columns, steps, planters, and walls, matched by hand and laid to last.
Learn moreNebraska freeze-thaw is hard on chimneys. We repair, rebuild, and restore them from the flashing up.
Learn moreBrick and block retaining walls that hold their grade and their looks, new builds and rebuilds of failing walls.
Learn moreCareful restoration work on older Omaha buildings, matching original brick, stone, and mortar instead of erasing them.
Learn moreYes, and the difference matters. Older homes get era-appropriate materials like softer matched mortar and compatible brick, while newer homes usually need correct rebuilding of fast-installed systems like stone veneer. We quote each house for what it actually is.
All of it, along with the surrounding metro: Millard, Ralston, Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Elkhorn, Gretna, and Bennington. If you are unsure whether we reach you, ask, because the answer is usually yes.
Two local forces: expansive clay soil that moves foundations and telegraphs cracks into walls, and a freeze-thaw climate that works water into every weak joint. Repairs that manage water and match materials are what hold up here.
Yes. We regularly repair items flagged during Omaha home sales, from tuckpointing calls to chimney crowns, and can work on the timeline a closing demands. A written estimate also helps buyers and sellers negotiate from real numbers.
Yes. A loose porch column, a few feet of failing joints, a handful of spalled bricks. Small repairs done right prevent the big ones, and they get the same owner-led attention as a full rebuild.
