Acton walkways, patios, and chimney repairs round out our western service area work.
Housing in Acton Center in Acton includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and road salt and plow damage every winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our brick walls, pillars & columns work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. A brick pier at the end of a driveway or a garden wall along the sidewalk is often the first masonry people see. We build and rebuild freestanding walls, pillars, and columns on proper frost-depth footings with caps that shed water.
