Concrete & Masonry Repair and Maintenance

Repair work we do

• Concrete repair and patching: spall repair, patch repair, crack repair and saw-cut, remove and replace sections
• Sidewalk, curb and step repair: trip-hazard sidewalk flags, concrete curbs and drop curbs, pedestrian curb ramps, steps and stoops
• Masonry repair: repointing, brick replacement, block (CMU) repair, parging and rebuilding damaged wall sections
• Foundation repair: patching and parging foundation walls and rebuilding damaged block sections
• Retaining wall repair: resetting caps, rebuilding failed sections and adding the drainage that was missing (see retaining walls)
• Drainage-related repair: drains, areaways and pitched concrete that keep water from undermining the work (see drainage)

For homeowners

Cracked driveway aprons, sunken walkway sections, crumbling front steps, loose brick on a stoop and worn mortar joints are the repairs we see most around Long Island homes. We will tell you honestly whether a section can be patched or should be replaced, give you a clear quote, and leave the area cleaned up. For smaller concrete fixes, see also our concrete repair page.

For property managers, municipalities, school districts and general contractors

Repair and maintenance work is a big part of what we want to do for commercial and public clients. We are available for:

• On-call and as-needed repair of sidewalks, curbs, steps, entrances and masonry
• Maintenance agreements for property managers who want walks, steps and masonry checked and kept in repair
• Repair and replacement scopes for general contractors and construction managers, including punch-list concrete and masonry work
• Repair at EV charging and battery storage sites: cracked or settled equipment pads, bollards, curbs, sidewalks and ADA ramps (see EV charging & battery storage site work)

We are also actively pursuing on-call, term and requirements contracts for concrete and masonry repair with municipalities, school districts and other public owners. Our crew holds safety certifications, and we plan every public and commercial job safety first.

How a repair job works

1. Assess: find the cause, whether it is a failed base, water, roots, salt or freeze-thaw.
2. Protect and remove: set up cones and tape, saw-cut clean edges and break out the damaged concrete or masonry.
3. Rebuild the base: excavate, compact and correct drainage where needed.
4. Replace: form, reinforce and place new concrete, or lay and tool new brick and block, to match existing.
5. Cure and restore: protect the repair while it cures and restore the surrounding site.

Real repair work

The photos on this page are from real Masoncrete Builders jobs: a commercial concrete repair along a building, where worn concrete around utility conduits was saw-cut, removed and replaced, and a commercial block wall that was demolished and rebuilt and tied into the existing wall. One commercial customer told us their "commercial concrete walkways had to be repaired" and that "they did excellent work."
