Masonry

Masonry plays a key role throughout your home – from the foundation underneath it to the facade giving it dazzling curb appeal.

The Basics of Masonry

To put it simply, masonry means anything dealing with bricks, blocks or stone mortared together. Solid masonry refers to structural elements like your chimney and foundation, while veneer masonry refers to things there for their looks – like a brick or stone facade.

Masonry is a skilled trade, so homeowners often turn to professionals for projects like these – especially when dealing with the structure of your home.
