EM Construction provides comprehensive concrete and masonry services for residential, commercial, and industrial clients throughout New York and New Jersey. From precision concrete flatwork to ornate custom masonry, our crews have the skills and equipment to tackle projects of every scale.
Concrete and masonry are the foundations of durable construction. When properly designed and installed, they deliver decades of reliable performance. EM Construction combines the strength of structural concrete with the craftsmanship of quality masonry to produce results that are both functional and visually striking.
Concrete Services
Concrete Flatwork
We place and finish concrete slabs for driveways, parking areas, courtyards, sidewalks, and interior floors. Our flatwork teams use proper sub-base preparation, control joint placement, and curing techniques to minimize cracking and maximize longevity.
Concrete Foundations
A sound foundation is the most critical element of any structure. We form, pour, and finish concrete foundations for additions, new construction, and replacement of deteriorated existing foundations, adhering to all NYC and NJ building department requirements.
Decorative Concrete
Exposed aggregate, broom finish, stamped concrete, and colored concrete transform utilitarian surfaces into design features. We offer a wide range of decorative options to complement any architectural style.
Concrete Repair & Resurfacing
Spalled, cracked, or uneven concrete can be restored without full replacement. We apply polymer-modified repair mortars, overlays, and grinding treatments to bring degraded surfaces back to sound, attractive condition.
Masonry Services
Custom Masonry Design & Build
Beyond standard brick and block, we design and construct custom masonry features including outdoor kitchens, fire pits, planters, seat walls, pilasters, and architectural accents that elevate any property.
Retaining Walls
Engineered masonry retaining walls control erosion, manage grade changes, and define outdoor spaces. We build segmental retaining wall systems and traditional concrete block or stone retaining structures designed for the soil and load conditions of your site.
Masonry Restoration
Historic and aging masonry buildings require specialized care. We perform tuckpointing, brick replacement, lintel repairs, and facade cleaning to restore buildings to their original appearance while preserving structural integrity.
Concrete Block (CMU) Construction
Concrete masonry units provide excellent fire resistance, sound attenuation, and structural performance. We construct CMU walls for commercial buildings, warehouses, schools, and multifamily residential projects.
