Concrete Block Work in Suffolk County

Block work we do

• Block walls: new concrete block walls for garages, sheds, enclosures and commercial buildings.
• Foundation walls: block foundation walls on poured footings. See foundations & slabs.
• Wall reconstruction: demolition and rebuilding of damaged block walls, tied into the existing structure.
• Retaining and stairwell walls: block walls around basement entrances and slopes. See retaining walls and drainage.
• Finishes: parging, caps, and brick or stone veneer over block.

Built level, plumb and tied in

Good block work starts with a level footing and a straight first course; every course after that follows it. We work to string lines and levels, keep joints consistent, form openings with proper lintels, and tie new block into existing walls so the structure works as one.

Cleaning block walls

Block walls collect dirt and staining over time. We offer power washing for block and brick walls, and it is a good first step before parging or painting.

Commercial wall reconstruction

On the Long Island commercial project shown on this page, the crew handled the full sequence: interior and exterior demolition, debris removal, scaffolding, staging new block, laying the new walls, and framing door and window openings. You can see the whole sequence in the block wall section of our gallery.
