Bellevue Masonry Construction Company

The term Masonry Contractor can cover a lot of different aspects in the construction business, it can mean anything from the concrete footings that hold up your house, to the tile on the bathroom wall.  As one of Bellevues best Masonry Contractors we have been involved in construction of hundreds of beautiful homes in the Bellevue area.  Building a home with Stone Masonry on it can create the perfect  combination of style and function, with a beauty that only stone masonry can give.  Of all the material that we work with as a masonry contractor, stone is the perfect choice, stone gives a sense of permanence that no other material can give.  As i work with stone i get a feeling of  closeness to  nature that few other materials can give, many of the material that we work with in construction are temporary, man-made and unnatural, they are used for a short time and then they fade, chip, or warp and look cheep.  A case in point is when a builder installs  wood shakes on the front of a home were you would normally place a brick or stone veneer, yes it saved some money but it looks cheep and ugly.  Whereas that same home with a stone veneer would have sense of balance and beauty that would last for many years, not only will it command a higher resale down the line but you will also have the enjoyment of living in that beautiful home.  Stone masonry construction is a great way to remodel your Bellevue home, we have been remodeling older homes in the Bellevue area with stone and brick masonry veneers for over 25 years.  The other day i was in a area in Bellevue were i had built a stone fireplace for a customer some 20 years earlier, it took me a moment to remember because a lot of the surrounding area had changed, but the one thing that had not changed was that beautiful stone fireplace was as beautiful as the day that we had built it.  Being able to see your craft and work like that makes me glad to be a Masonry Contractor in Bellevue.

 

Quite a few of Bellevue homes have brick masonry veneers or brick fireplaces in them, some of the calls that we receive are asking us about the repair, maintenance and remodeling of brick masonry.  Brick can easily take on a timeless look lasting for many years with a little maintenance and care, have you ever wondered why some brick masonry looks so much better then the other brick down the street?  The main reason  that the brick looks good, is that it has been maintained, and as a Bellevue masonry contractor we are ask to repair brick that has not been maintained quite often.  Before we get off the subject of maintenance, just how much work and cost is there to maintain brick masonry?  Here is the good news very very little all you need to do is power wash it once a year to keep it clean, and place a good quality sealer on the horizontal surfaces about every five years or so.  I compare maintaining your brick masonry much like how you maintain your car  every so often you have the oil change, making that car last longer.  One of the most overlooked area of brick maintenance is the fireplace chimney, this is especially true of the top of the chimney, the part that is above the roof line.   I guess out of sight out of mind, but this is the one area of your brick masonry that you will want to check every year, being that it is subjected to more weather then any other part of your home.  But if you have damage to your brick chimney make sure to have a qualified masonry contractor repair the damage as soon as you see it, the sooner that the damage is fixed the less it will cost to repair.
