Masonry contractor services in Wilmington, NC

B&T Wilmington Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Wilmington, NC, and the 16 services below cover most of what a brick, block or stone house needs, from repointing old mortar to building a new wall or outdoor kitchen. The price usually comes down to how much is really worn, what turns up behind it once we open it, the material you pick and how hard the spot is to reach. The schedule mostly turns on the weather, since fresh mortar and concrete don't do well in a downpour, and on any permit or review your address needs first. I'll walk it with you and give you your own number in writing.

  • Low stone retaining walls border landscaped beds and a lawn in front of a brick house.

    Foundation repair

    Seeing a stair-step crack in the block or a door that suddenly sticks? We find out why the foundation moved, often water, and repair the masonry so it's sound.

  • Paver patio with a curved stone seating wall, black metal table and chairs, and glowing lanterns amid a landscaped garden.

    Chimney repair

    We replace flaking brick, repoint loose joints and rebuild the cracked cap on top for chimneys that are letting water into the attic or the firebox.

  • Curved retaining wall of irregular brown and gray stone with a light stone cap, beside a paved patio and wood-and-wire fence.

    Tuckpointing

    What is tuckpointing? We rake out worn mortar and refill the joints with a mix matched to your old brick, finished with a crisp line so the wall reads clean.

  • Layered stone retaining wall and broad steps set among river rocks, with a tall wooden fence and lawn.

    Brick repair

    Cracked, loose or crumbling bricks get cut out and replaced with a close match, so a few bad spots don't turn into water getting behind the wall.

  • A gray interlocking paver driveway runs between a stucco house wall and tall tan concrete block walls.

    Driveway pavers

    We lay paver driveways on a packed gravel base with the slope set to carry rain away from the house, so the pavers sit flat and drain.

  • A curved stone retaining wall with a built-in bench and circular fire pit sits on a paved backyard patio.

    Retaining wall construction

    We build block and stone retaining walls for sloped yards, with drain rock and a pipe behind them so rain doesn't build up pressure against the wall.

  • Overhead view of a large gray paver patio with dark border patterns beside a house, lawn, and red gravel garden bed.

    Masonry restoration

    Masonry restoration brings tired brick and stone on older homes back into shape, with careful cleaning, rebuilt sections and mortar soft enough not to harm the old brick.

  • A backyard patio surrounds a swimming pool, with landscaped stone borders, seating, and a covered outdoor area at sunset.

    Fireplace installation

    We build masonry fireplaces indoors and out, in brick or stone, with the firebox, hearth and surround laid to the plan we draw up with you.

  • A circular low brick retaining wall surrounds a bed of dark soil on a broad green lawn.

    Stone veneer installation

    Want the look of stone without a full stone wall? Veneer is a thin stone face we set over block or framed walls, with a drainage layer behind it.

  • A two-story home has a facade of pale stone masonry with dark-framed windows and a black metal fence.

    Concrete block walls

    We lay concrete block walls for garden borders, privacy screens and outbuildings, with steel and grout in the hollow centers where a wall needs the extra strength.

  • A paved patio beneath a white open-sided pavilion has lounge seating, a dining table, and planted garden beds.

    Foundation block wall installation

    Building an addition or a new crawlspace? We lay the block foundation walls on a solid concrete footing and keep them plumb and level for the framers.

  • A stone-paved outdoor kitchen beneath a wooden pergola features stone counters, built-in appliances, and autumn trees beyond.

    Outdoor kitchen masonry

    We build the masonry for outdoor kitchens, from the grill island and counters to a pizza oven base, for homeowners who'd rather cook and eat out back.

  • Curved blue swimming pool bordered by pale stone coping and a patterned paver deck, with tiered stone garden walls behind it.

    Walkway construction

    We build brick, paver and stone walkways from the driveway to the door or out to the yard, pitched just enough that puddles don't sit on them.

  • Wall cross-section shows white concrete blocks, a layer of fibrous insulation, and orange brick veneer.

    Brick wall installation

    Need a brick garden wall, a mailbox column or a front entry wall? We build new brick walls on solid footings with mortar matched to the brick.

  • A brick house porch borders a rock garden with flowering shrubs, a low stone edging, and stacked masonry blocks.

    Stone masonry

    Stone masonry is natural stone laid in mortar for walls, steps and columns, when you want something heavier and older-looking than brick around your house.

  • A tan brick-paver driveway leads to an open garage, bordered by a house and landscaped garden beds.

    Brick pointing

    If you can push a key into the mortar between your bricks, it's time for pointing, where we grind out the soft mortar and pack in fresh.

A Wilmington masonry business since 2021

B&T Wilmington Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Wilmington, NC, fully licensed and insured, and I started it in 2021 after years as another mason's right hand here.

Why homeowners hire us for masonry

  • One person, first visit to finish

    The person who walks your yard with you and writes up the estimate is the same one running the crew on your job. What we talk about at the start is what gets built, without anything lost in a handoff.

  • We plan where water goes first

    Before we lay or repair anything, we look at where rain comes off the roof, runs down the wall and crosses the yard, because that matters in a city as rainy as Wilmington. Masonry that drains well stays sound, and a good-looking wall that holds water isn't a good wall.

  • Honest about what can wait

    We fix what's actually worn and tell you plainly which parts are still fine for now. That way you're not paying to tear out sound brick or redo good work.

What happens after you call

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (910) 218-9550 or fill out the form and tell us what you're seeing, whether it's a crack, a crumbling joint or a wall you've been meaning to build. We get back to you within one business day, talk it through and set a time for me to come take a look.

  2. We walk the job together

    I come out, walk the job with you and point right at what I'm looking at, from cracked joints to where the rain runs. You get the estimate in writing with what I found and why, and I'll tell you which office handles your address. Inside Wilmington city limits, building permits come from New Hanover County's permits office.

  3. We do the work

    Once you say go, we help you get the paperwork together before work starts, including the city's review if your house sits in one of Wilmington's historic districts. Then I'm on site with our crew of masons while the work gets done, so you've always got someone right there to ask.

  4. We look it over together

    When the last joint is finished and the site's cleaned up, we walk the finished work together. I show you what we did and why, down to the mortar we used and where the water goes now. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
