EM Construction delivers expert masonry services to residential and commercial clients across New York and New Jersey. From new brick installations to precision restoration work, our skilled masons bring decades of hands-on experience to every project — large or small.
Masonry is both a craft and a science. The right combination of materials, mortar mix, and installation technique determines whether a structure lasts a generation or a century. EM Construction’s masons are trained in traditional methods and modern standards, ensuring your masonry work is as durable as it is beautiful.
Our Masonry Services
Brick Installation & Repair
We install new brick facades, retaining walls, garden walls, and decorative features using premium-grade brick and properly formulated mortar. For existing brick structures, we identify and repair spalled, cracked, or loose bricks before they compromise the larger wall assembly.
Stucco Application & Repair
Stucco provides a seamless, attractive exterior finish while adding a layer of weather protection. Our team applies three-coat stucco systems on masonry and frame substrates, and performs targeted repairs on existing stucco that has cracked, delaminated, or developed water damage.
Block Installation
Concrete masonry units (CMU) are the backbone of many commercial buildings, basements, and load-bearing walls. We install CMU block walls with precision, ensuring level courses, proper mortar joints, and compliance with structural requirements.
Stone Veneer & Natural Stone Work
Natural stone adds timeless elegance to any building. We install manufactured stone veneer panels and natural fieldstone or cut-stone veneers on facades, fireplaces, entryways, and accent walls.
Parapet Reconstruction
Deteriorated parapets are a common concern on older New York buildings. We rebuild or reinforce parapet walls, install proper flashing and coping, and re-point mortar joints to restore structural stability and weatherproofing.
Chimney Masonry
Chimney stacks take a beating from freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and rain. We repair and rebuild chimney crowns, liners, flashing, and brick courses to restore safe function and a clean appearance.
Why Quality Masonry Matters
Inferior masonry — whether from poor materials, weak mortar, or improper technique — leads to water infiltration, structural movement, and accelerated deterioration. EM Construction uses the correct mortar type (Type N, S, or M) for each application, ensuring the bond strength and flexibility are matched to the substrate and environmental exposure.
Our Process
1. Site Assessment — We evaluate existing conditions, identify failure points, and determine the best repair or installation approach.
2. Material Selection — We specify brick, block, stone, and mortar products suited to the project’s structural and aesthetic requirements.
3. Skilled Installation — Licensed masons execute the work with precision, maintaining level lines, consistent joint widths, and proper ties and anchors.
4. Curing & Protection — We allow masonry assemblies to cure properly and apply sealers where appropriate to extend service life.
5. Final Inspection — Every project is reviewed against scope before we consider it complete.
