Main Street Brick, Solid Foundations& Farm Gate PillarsMasonry and chimney repair for Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell, Colts Neck and Farmingdale
Downtown Freehold is lined with 19th-century brick buildings, many with apartments upstairs and old chimneys nobody has looked at in years. Around them, older homes sit on block and stone foundations that crack, bow and leak. Out toward Colts Neck and Millstone, horse farms and estates greet visitors with brick and stone entrance pillars. We're a masonry company first, with chimney work to match, based on Schanck Road and phones answered day and night.

What we do about a cracked foundation wall
Many Freehold-area homes from before the 1970s stand on concrete block or fieldstone. Water, frost and soil pressure take their toll. Our approach is to diagnose before we patch.
READ
Read the cracks
Stair-step, horizontal and vertical cracks mean different things. We measure and photograph each one.
WATER
Find the water
Gutters, grading and downspouts are usually behind wet walls. We point out simple outside fixes.
REPAIR
Repoint & rebuild
Failed joints repointed, damaged block replaced, and exterior walls parged to shed water.
REFER
Know our limits
If a wall is moving significantly, we'll tell you plainly and recommend a structural engineer first.

Farms, estates & driveways

Built on footings below frost depth, with a solid core and capstone.
Mailbox posts
Brick and stone mailbox columns built to postal height and setback guidelines.
Lights & caps
Conduit for lantern lights planned in, with stone or precast caps.

Do you really answer around the clock?
Yes. Someone picks up whether it is 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., weekends and holidays included. A pillar knocked over by a car, bricks loose over a sidewalk or water pouring into a basement get a quick response. If there's fire, gas odor or a CO alarm, leave and call 911 first.
Is a crack in my foundation wall serious?
Small vertical cracks are common. Horizontal cracks, bowing or growing gaps are more serious. We'll measure and explain, and recommend an engineer if the wall is moving.
What is parging?
A thin mortar coat applied to the outside of block foundations. It sheds water and gives the wall a finished look.
Can you rebuild a driveway pillar a car hit?
Yes. We set a new footing if needed, reuse salvageable stone or brick and match the rest, then cap it.
Do you inspect chimneys in downtown apartment buildings?
Yes. We inspect and reline flues for boilers and water heaters and provide reports for landlords and inspectors.
Do you build new mailbox posts?
Yes, in brick or stone, at the right height and setback, with a cap and optional light.
